DLP / Mike Dean has released Smoke Mono 1, a free monophonic synthesizer VST3 and AU plugin for macOS and Windows.
Mike Dean is a Grammy-winning producer, engineer, and musician who has shaped the sound of modern music for over four decades.
From Kanye West to Travis Scott to The Weeknd, Mike has produced, mixed, and performed on some of the most influential records in hip-hop and beyond.
Dean’s List Plugins came from decades of working gear and a personal wish list of perfect plugins. Smoke Mono 1 is the first free release — Mike’s way of giving producers a real tool, no strings attached.
