this is the page where i'm going to list the VSTs and programs i use for my music for any curious ears.

harsh digital nose - this is a scratchy sounding synth that you can sorta just fuck around on for the most part. i usually use the default images for a specific static-y sounding synth, but you can get some crazy sounds with this.
alter-ego - chipspeech lite in a way, but with more realistic sounding voices than the entirely machine versions on chipspeech.

chipspeech - chipspeech is a vocal synth that uses speech chips from tts programs and lets you make them sing, i personally love this since it works in my DAW as is and i dont have to deal with exporting from UTAU and then importing into my DAW and it also has cool ass voices like SAM and Bert Gotrax. im very biased.
chipsounds - made by the same company as chipspeech, this VST uses a ton of old chips used in video game consoles and computers and machines that go so hard especially with electronic music. again, i am very biased.
