Lightweight alternatives to Sonitus plugins?

Hi,
 
I'd prefer to use VST instead of DirectX plugins. What are the lightweight alternatives to the Sonitus plugins, like dealy and reverb and sidechain compression?

Intel Core i7-5820K Hex/6 core
16GM Ram : Kingston Hyper-X FURY Memory Black - DDR4 2133MHz (HX421C14FBK2/8 DDR4-2133) 
ASUS Strix GTX 960
Asus X99-A/USB3.1
Kingston 480Gb Hyper-X Predator PCIe SSD (SHPM2280P2H/480G NGFF M.2)
Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX
Corsair Gamer Series CXM600 600W Power Supply.

    Check out the Blue Cat plugins that can be found here: http://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Bundle_FreewarePack/.  You don't say which version of Sonar that you use, but the Nomad Factory plugs in Platinum are terrific.  Also, Melda products makes good freebies.

    All the best,

    You won't find everything you need there, but Melda's MFreeEffectsBundle has some great "basic" plugins in it, I use many of them regularly despite having access to many other paid-for alternatives. Pity there's no delay though.

    Valhalla DSP has both verbs, delays and more... killer quality, super cheap, light on cpu... one man army of genius creations... 
     
    FabFilter is uber quality, light on resources, but pricey...

    Here is a recent thread about tempo delay options http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3442789
    Including Sonitus there are at least 7 plug-ins in SONAR Platinum which are capable of tempo delay. There are a few more delay plug-ins which do not have tempo sync. Most of the plug-ins are not DirectX.
