Full Bucket Music: exploring the complete catalog of free virtual instruments
Among the developers who have turned freeware into a true culture, Full Bucket Music stands out with a full collection of synthesizers that combine authenticity, stability, and creative depth. Every plugin is designed with a clear philosophy: emulate the feel of vintage hardware while keeping CPU usage extremely light. That’s why many musicians rely on them not just as experiments, but as serious tools for both studio and live use.
All these instruments are available for direct download from the Add-ons section of ONE Instrument® Cloud, so you can expand your palette without leaving your main creative environment.
Simulations of vintage hardware
Full Bucket Music has rebuilt many iconic synthesizers from the 70s and 80s, bringing back their sound and workflow with extra features for today’s creators:
FB-3100, FB-3200, FB-3300 – digital reconstructions of the KORG PS series, famous for their modular architecture and warm analog character. Perfect for evolving pads and experimental layering.
Fury-800 – a modern interpretation of the KORG Poly-800, with paraphonic voices and that unmistakable 80s flavor. Expanded polyphony and extra parameters make it more versatile than the original.
Mono/Fury – based on the KORG Mono/Poly, offering four oscillators, cross-modulation, sync options and the ability to switch between monophonic power and lush polyphonic textures.
FB-7999 – inspired by the DW-8000 series, it blends digital waveforms with analog-style filters, delivering sharp bells, evolving atmospheres and rich hybrid timbres.
Tricent Mk III – a re-creation of the KORG Trident, with three sections (synth, brass, strings) that can be layered into big cinematic sounds.
Stigma – modeled after the KORG Sigma, known for its expressive preset sections and performance-oriented design.
Nabla – a tribute to the KORG Delta, combining a polyphonic string machine with a paraphonic synth.
PECS – a software version of the KORG PE-2000, a classic string ensemble with grainy, vintage textures.
Bucket ONE – an emulation of the Crumar BIT series, delivering solid basses and characterful pads typical of Italian synth design.
Paralogy – based on the Crumar Trilogy, blending strings, organ and synth in a single hybrid machine.
Oxid – modeled on the ARP Omni-2, well-known for its lush string sounds and wide analog pads.
Six-Traq – inspired by the Sequential Circuits Six-Trak, with polyphonic voices and built-in sequencing.
DrumTraqs – a virtual version of the DrumTraks drum machine, ideal for early digital grooves.
Bucket Pops – a re-creation of the Mini Pops rhythm box, famous for shaping early electronic beats.
Ny – an emulation of the KORG Lambda, with dreamy ensemble tones for soft pads and vintage atmospheres.
The Deputy Mark II – not a strict emulation but clearly inspired by classic string machines, combining polyphonic ensembles with a monophonic lead voice.
FBVC – modeled after the KORG VC-10 vocoder, offering 20 bands, an internal carrier synth, and stereo output.
Original designs
Alongside the homages, Full Bucket Music also developed original synthesizers that extend the catalog into new territory:
the blooo – a flexible virtual analog with dual filters and unison, excellent as a workhorse synth.
the scrooo – a spectral formant synth, capable of vocal-like tones and unusual textures.
the qyooo – featuring three morphing filters, designed for evolving pads and sequences.
WhispAir – a wavetable synth with a clean interface, delivering modern tones with minimal CPU load.
ModulAir – a modular environment with dozens of modules to combine freely, useful for experimental sound design.
SequencAir – a step sequencer with an integrated monosynth, designed for quick pattern creation.
Ragnarök – a collaboration project, based on a unique custom-built analog synthesizer from the 80s.
MPS (Musical Parameter Synthesizer) – focused on high-level “musical” controls instead of complex technical detail, ideal for fast inspiration.
Kern – a streamlined subtractive synth optimized for MIDI controllers and low CPU usage.
