Title: VST dictionary or map to select the right plugin for the job
Post by: DrNo7 on August 19, 2026, 09:59:05 PM
Hi everybody,

I have a noob question but seems like either I am missing something (like the dict/map of the title) or it is a daunting task to find the correct plugin for a particular result.
The context of my need: I wanted to do a small project to take a piece of melody and remix it in a complete different style. The original being a simple piano part, I thought that it would be just a question of playing it with the new rhythm of the variation, adding some rhythmic ref and polish it.
My problem is: I know what type of sound I need (some synth, some textured bass beats) but I have no clue which of the gazillion VST plugins should help. And even choosing a music style is getting me closer to which list of plugins would be applicable.
Hence my question: is there any source of information where I could use a music style or artist and get a list of VST plugins I could use to get relevant sounds ?

Thanks in advance for your guidance and sorry if I am taking the problem from the wrong end.
