TerraTec has announced the release of Komplexer, the long awaited plug-in synth offering both virtual analog synthesis and wavetable synthesis, with eight onboard macro controllers.

Featuring classic synth sound powered by three oscillators, two multimode filters, four ADSDSR envelopes and three LFOs, Komplexer also has the ability to import Waldorf microQ sounds. Courtesy of the macro controllers, presets can be modified to suit every taste using just eight parameters. This VST instrument also affords users unrestricted access to all of the sophisticated synthesis engine's 400 parameters. Features such as the advanced arpeggiator and LFO 3's synchronizable user-specific waveform serve to create soundscapes that adapt automatically to the given song tempo. In the 16x16 modulation matrix almost every parameter of the Komplexer can be accessed.
