Released today (or yesterday). I really dislike synths that cater to genres, but the GUI and features looked interesting enough to catch my attention. Trying the demo out, but it's way too small! Or my monitor is just too big... don't think it uses VST3 as it doesn't seem resizable.

Anyway, prepare for a few hundred tunes coming out with preset abuse in the coming weeks. Massive Brutal Electro round 2 engaged. :6:

I don't really see why companies are bothering to make new synths...it's not as if we don't already have the power to make any sound in the universe.

1. We don't.
2. Companies like making money.
3. Different synths have varying degrees of flexibility, ease of use, etc.

I know what Attila means, very rarely does a softsynth come out that brings something unique to the table. Most of them are just clones/filler subtractive VAs with different interfaces.

Which is something thats pretty depressing tbh. I know theres still plenty of room for advancements. (how about a granular sampler that detects the pitch of the loop and scales the loop size in perfect tuning to the keys being pressed and allows several waves at a time for a wavetable type shifting as well)

This plugin actually seems impressive from the features I was able to notice.

Will be interesting to see what instruments Sugar bytes come up with for the Reason rack.

it will never catch on unless it is torentable, given the genre it caters to.

But it's recommended by PEACHES AND BIOHAZARD!

(seriously though that might be the oddest list of musicians to cram together in one sentence)

heh marketing these days seems to be like a shotgun rather than targeted... as long as we hit a few who cares about all we miss or put off in the process

Interface looks like the interface from that aeph nightrider track's video, like fiddly knobs and lights in some packed space ship, I'm good with that. I hope this thing does have a demo, I'd like to play around.

I hate the commercial, I hate that dancing robot, I look forward to trying it out though for better or worse.

imo its not a good sounding synth at all
free synths like sonigen modular sound way better
