I am trying to revive some Cubase tracks on my G4 Cube that I made back in the early 2000s on my old 700mhz G4 iMac. I kept the project and audio files, but none of the software. I have managed to find Cubase SE (which is the DAW I used back then) but I cannot for the life of me find any OS X PPC compatible VST plugins, either legally or illegally.
I have looked in the usual spots - macintoshgarden, macintoshrepository, torrent sites etc, there are loads of OS 9 plugins, but I'm really struggling to find any VSTs for this era of music production. The main one I need is HALion 2 as that is what I used for sampling back then, but aside from that I'm looking for any good free or 'obsolete' instruments or effects that will run on a 450mhz G4.
Sorry if this is bordering on a 'warez' post, but I can't even find any of this old software to buy on eBay. So if anyone knows any websites, forums etc that I should check out, I would really appreciate it! I'm a big believer in archiving obsolete software, but it seems most of this stuff has vanished off the face of the Earth over the last 20 years.
BTW I have already tried Steinberg's FTP site, it does not have any usable VSTs as they all either require the hardware dongle or original install CDs to install.
