• Acon Digital Effect Chainer

The product is still in the buggy alpha stage. However, it’s free. It hosts DX AND VSTs, and can act as a plug-in in any DX or VST host. Did I mention it’s free? It’s pretty sweet for Win users that have a DAW that doesn’t support DX effects (like Live, Bidule, Usine, etc.) Even in its current buggy stage it’s way more useful than previous freeware DX effect chainers. Should they fix the bugs, and add a few more features it will go from a worthy freebee to an essential for Windows users. I hope to find out soon from them if they plan adding on instrument support in a future release.

True as a standard, DX is pretty poor. However, there are still pleanty of good legacy DX effects & instruments out there if you know where to look. There's of course the great effects that come with the various Cakewalk and SonyFo products. Besides that, you should take a look at these freeware effects: Given, most of the best DX plugs have already been ported to VST, so for most users a DX to VST wrapper isn't that big of a deal. However some of us still have legacy DX plugs back from when DX still mattered as a platform. So for us, this free chainer is a potential godsend (once again, assuming Acon irons out most of the bugs).
