Ugo has released version 2.0 of Rez, a free PC VST virtual analog monosynth, with a highly resonant low pass filter, that is capable of a wide range of sounds, from funky squishes, beastly basses and screaming leads, to tight arpeggiations, atmospheres, bells, and interesting effects.

• * More aggressive overdrive
• * Phaser effect with optional LFO and velocity modulation
• * LFO start times sync to host play/record
• * 8 bar speed option for LFOs
• * Sample and hold waveform option for LFOs
