I love this synth. Big Phat oscillators. Capable of some awesome basses , and its compact , and without all the unnecessary bloat that seems to accompany most synths these days. Love it !!
Save your money buying any other emulation, and most particularly FUCK Audio Realism’s ReDominator. I got all the sounds contained in that worthless piece of crap synth within a half hour, just to reek vengeance on Audio Realism’s super shit customer support. FUCK all the other “emulations”, you can get and create all you need with this.
I had this for a year or 2 and never really gave it my full attention, I thought it would be perfect if I ever needed a “Hoover” sound and that was about it.
Recently I had a proper session with it, OMG, this VST is amazing, I never realised it was modelled on the Roland Alpha so precisely. What a lovely big fat sound, perfect for big basses, but also does leads, strings, pads and SFX. The sound of it holds its own against many paid for big names that’s why I am using it more and more, that and its easy to use layout and MIDI control. Thank you so much Phuturetone !
