Toxic

Toxic is a 6-operator-FM synthesizer with alias-free oscillators, warm filters and precise envelopes. All controls are interpolated, allowing you to tweak all parameters smoothly in realtime without clicks.

A powerful effects section with an Equalizer, a Distortion unit and two Chorus, Flanger and Delay units completes this generator.

The Toxic interface was very carefully designed - despite having many parameters. Toxic features a very streamlined GUI, allowing rapid access to all relevant parameters - no hidden pages or endless searching for a specific parameter. Producers who do not like to program their own sounds from scratch will be happy to see that the Toxic comes with 10 banks full of ready-to-use presets.

I'm surprised that no one talks about Synapse Toxic II. It's an excellent soft synth for very good price.

User Interface:
Nice, clean and professional GUI. Everything is on one page - no switching between pages, tabs etc. I like the colors too :) Overall, that's the kind of design I really like.

Documentation:
There is some documentation (chm format) which describes each Toxis module but actually I don't need it :)

Presets:
There are about 600 presets divided into 10 Sound Banks. Most presets are really good - especially i like Pad SoundBank. You'll find bass, leads, pads - it's almost everything there...

Value For Money:
Seriously, 49 $ for this monster is one of best deals ever. It's a killer synth capable of creating almost any sound - pads, leads, basses, arps. Judging by it's features, it should cost about 99 E...

Stability:
Never creashed (at least not in Ableton Live which I use)

Things I like the most:
* 6 (!!!) alias free Oscillators - each with 50 waveforms available
* FM Matrix - great for pads and "electrical" sounds
* gorgeous Sequencer with load / save sequencer patterns option (the best one i've ever seen ??)
* powerful effects section (EQ, Distortion, two Chorus, Flanger, Delay units)

Product: EKS-9 (Electronic Kickdrum Synthesizer)
Developer: Synapse Audio
Type: Drum Synth
Price: $49
OS: WindowsWindows x64Mac OS XUniversal Binary
Formats: VSTAudio Unit
EKS-9 is a special-purpose software synthesizer designed to recreate the sound of analog electronic kickdrum sounds - hence the name EKS (Electronic Kickdrum Synthesizer). The plug-in offers two modes, 808 and 909, each with their own, characteristic sound. It goes far beyond the capabilities of vintage analog hardware, however, and introduces new parameters, most importantly it offers precise control of the pitch. Additionally, despite the fundamentally different models employed, all parameters apply equally to both the 808 and 909 mode. The user interface is organized into four sections co... [more]

 
Product: Hydra

Formats: VSTAudio UnitDirectX
Hydra is a multi-model synthesizer, designed for use in all genres of electronic music. The oscillator routing can be switched between three radically different models, which is almost like having three different synthesizers in one - each model has it's own distinct character and sonic capabilities. The logical organization of the user interface makes it easy to maintain a good overview of the high number of parameters, and design your own original sounds. The online help system provides detailed information about every parameter. Two of the three oscillators have 39 preset waveforms, and ... [more]

Product: X-Poly (was Poly-850)
Developer: Synapse Audio
Type: Synth (Analogue / Subtractive)
Price: $49
OS: WindowsWindows x64Mac OS XUniversal Binary
Formats: VSTAudio Unit
X-Poly is a synthesizer plug-in which started out as an emulation of a vintage synth, but went beyond that by adding many improvements and new features over the original. The concept of the X-Poly is based around two oscillators, each containing four special sub-oscillators spaced one octave apart. Both oscillators can be blended seamlessly between a square and a sawtooth-type waveform and can be freely panned in the stereo field. The six-stage envelopes controlling the amplitudes of the oscillators provide a linear slope for the first five stages and a semi-logarithmic release for the final ... [more]
