You’ll need a MIDI Controller
In order to be able to use these plugins properly, you will need some sort of MIDI Controller.
While you can use your mouse to map the MIDI in your DAW, it’s a lot faster and easier to do it with a keyboard/controller.
My recommendation here is for you to get something like the M-Audio Oxygen 25 MK IV MIDI Controller which you can find at Amazon at a very affordable price, plus it comes with some extra software like Pro Tools First.
Conclusion
It was actually hard to find good-sounding Indian VST that were actually free, but here are the ones I found.
Some of them allow you to purchase the premium version, which you could definitely do if you find yourself using them a lot.
I hope this information was useful…
