MONSTER VOXANA is a Free Vocal VST Instruments with various Modes!
It covers all kinds of vocal presets, from Beatbox, Choirs, Vocal Chops, Shout, and everything in between.
It’s suitable for any kind of music genre, not just EDM. From R’n’B, Pop, Rock, and Jazz, to Classical music.
Welcome to my free virtual instrument plugin page. I’m Agus Hardiman and the maker of this MonsterDAW plugin!
The great thing about this plugin is that this is never complete. It gets a new expansion (preset) sound continuously every now and then so stay tuned for more!
It is under the MonsterDAW name that was previously on the www.monsterdaw.com website (all of the VSTs there will be moved later to this AHTV blog).
Notes: MonsterDAW is a brand owned by me, Agus Hardiman, the host of this AHTV Blog
Monster Voxana Sound Demo
Alberto Smargiasso made a nice 80’s music vibe with Monster Voxana (and other MonsterDAW plugins: Monster Bass, Monster Drum, Monster Ethnica, Monster Synth, and Monster Piano):
If you make a cool video review/preset walkthrough, let me know via the CONTACT page of this AHTV Blog. I’ll consider to put it in here!

How The CHOPS Mode Works in Monster Voxana
CHOPS Mode is a very special mode of Monster Voxana that you will never find in any other plugins, so it deserves to be explained. So, please watch this video to know how it works:

How To Automate Monster Voxana Parameters?
In Cubase, after inserting the Monster Voxana plugin, you have to open the automation lane (I’m using Monster Synth as the example):
In Studio One, go to the Piano Roll and add the parameters to automate (I’m using Monster Synth as the example):
In other DAWs, find a way/googling on how to add automation lanes/tracks.
FAQ About Monster Voxana
Q : I want XXX and YYY features of Monster Voxana, can you program it?
A : To be honest, I’m a professional musician and audio educator BUT I’m not a professional plugin programmer. I do this just for fun, so your request may not be available (but you can always try to ask me via the CONTACT page).
Q : Why there is no VST 32-bit versions anymore?
A : In the past, I made 32-bit version of my VST but to prepare that 32-bit format, I have to spend 200 to 300 hours of my free time. Since I’m now busy with my music job and teaching, I decide to stop supporting 32-bit, a 25 years old technology. That 300 hours will go to the time to develop a new free vst which of course is 64-bit.
Q : I have a problem using this plugin on my Mac, I’m using Monterey/Big Sur/Catalina. It says that the files are damaged or can’t be opened because the developer is not trusted.
A : That problem was caused by Mac OS security which now is very strict. I have applied for a developer account in Apple to be a trusted developer but they haven’t responded to my inquiry yet.
In the meantime, please watch these videos (If this is not working, it’s ok, you can pass my VSTs 😬):
