The KVR Audio Readers’ Choice Awards 2026 are now open, giving KVR members the chance to vote for their favourite audio and MIDI software across 29 categories.
Voting remains open until October 31st, 2026. The awards begin with a nomination stage, followed by the main voting stage, when the top five nominated products in each category will be shown as an indication of how the vote is developing.
All nomination votes carry over into the voting stage, and members can change their choices at any time before voting closes. You can vote in as many or as few categories as you like.
Products and developers that have already won a category five times enter the KVR RCA Hall Of Fame and are no longer eligible for nomination in that category.
New Hall Of Fame inductees following the 2025 awards include Arturia Pigments for Favorite Synth, Spitfire Audio BBC Symphony Orchestra for Favorite Orchestral/Cinematic Virtual Instrument, FabFilter Pro-C for Favorite Dynamics, and Valhalla DSP ValhallaSupermassive for Favorite Free Effect.
If your favourite product isn’t listed, you can request that it be added to the KVR Product Database before casting your vote.
Vote in the KVR Audio Readers’ Choice Awards 2026 before October 31st.
