Synsonic Instruments Apollon VST2 AU WiN MAC [FREE]

Apollon is a free virtual analog drum machine plugin for Windows and macOS, available in VST2 and AU formats. It recreates the character of classic analog drum machines with eight dedicated instruments: bass drum, snare, low tom, high tom, closed hi-hat, open hi-hat, clap, and rimshot. Each sound can be individually triggered via MIDI, giving you hands-on control when programming beats. The built-in 16-step sequencer supports velocity-sensitive steps and per-track shuffle, and it syncs to your DAW’s transport for tight timing. For mixing, every instrument has its own effect sends to a shared reverb and delay, plus panning controls, so you can shape the kit’s space without leaving the plugin. Apollon is aimed at hobby producers and beatmakers using FL Studio, Ableton Live, or Logic who want a straightforward, lightweight drum machine for electronic, hip-hop, and pop productions. It runs on both Windows and macOS, and its compact size makes it easy to install and use in any project.
