Izmar - VMPC2000XL (MPC Plugin) VST3, AU, LV2 - Free

VMPC2000XL by Izmar is a Virtual Instrument Audio Plugin and a Software Application for macOS, Windows and Linux.
It functions as an Audio Units Plugin, a VST 3 Plugin, a LV2 Plugin and a Standalone Application.

VMPC2000XL is an emulator of the classic Akai MPC2000XL sampler/sequencer.

Features:

- Linux, macOS and Windows support.
- Available as standalone applications and VST3/AU/LV2 plugins.
- Load/save most of the MPC2000XL file formats: APS, ALL, PGM, SND, MID, WAV.
- Raw USB volume (CF card) support with Akai FAT 16.3 filenames.
- Every screen and function tries to be 100% like the original.
- Multi-track direct-to-disk recording, a.ka. "bouncing", to WAV with offline rendering option.
- Basic MIDI in/out.

VMPC2000XL does not:

- Mimic the signal path, analog inputs/outputs so it doesn't make your samples sound "warm" or "dirty".
- Make it very easy to create beats and manage sounds like modern equipment and software. Its only purpose is to emulate the MPC2000XL.
- 100% mimic the digital per-voice filter. It contains an approximation which was tweaked by ear, so it's possible that a setting on the 2000XL doesn't sound the same in the emulator.
- Emulate the optional EB16 FX board.

Your post (and its replies) made me curious about KBplugs, and I found out that a CyRinx II VST exists. The developer has retired and his blog is no longer online, but in the Facebook group Free VST Plugins, some people have contacted him and shared many of his creations on Dropbox and Google Drive. There’s a download link with nearly all the VSTs he made, and even the developer himself has posted some additional links. I think nearly all VSTs has 64 bits vst2 versions. And the CyRinx II have some presets

 

Thanks @batty mint, you can also download these plugins here: KBPlugs ---> https://archive.org/download/KBPlugs

 

Adam Szabo - Airwave Emulator to JP-8080

Step into the golden era of electronic music with Airwave, a meticulously crafted VST plugin that brings the unmistakable sound of one of the most iconic synthesizers of all time. Revered for its lush supersaw leads, ethereal pads, and driving basslines, this synth was a defining force in the trance, progressive, and electronic music movements. Now, with Airwave, that iconic sound is reborn, modernized for today’s producers while staying true to its original character.
At the heart of Airwave is its dual-layer architecture, allowing for intricate sound sculpting and massive stacked tones. Independently shape the Upper and Lower layers, blending evolving pads with sharp, detuned leads or creating complex, rhythmic textures. The deep modulation capabilities and multi-mode filters give you total control over your sound.

Airwave is available as a 32 and 64-bit VST 2.4 and VST 3 instrument for Windows.
