Appendix E: The VST Hoard

Note that most of these are not installed at any given moment! But this is…embarrassing…even if I have been stalking sales for over a decade. I’ve bolded some (but not all) of my mainstays. If you’re wondering why some “but obviously you’d use that!” option isn’t bolded, it’s probably a more recent acquisition I haven’t yet had the chance to dive into.

…terrifyingly, this isn’t the complete list, either. /o\ This is more for my reference than yours!
