Tronsonic has released DCO, a new "precision" synth module for the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt (5.0.3 or later). This is Tronsonic's first non-tape sampled library.

The word 'precision' is used for two reasons - firstly the digitally controlled oscillators of the original analogue synth maintain a very accurate tuning, and secondly because no tape was used in the recordings of these waveforms, which in turn keeps them very true and precise to the originals (allowing a less characterful and more 'scientific' synthesis to take place within Kontakt).

This makes DCO a suitable companion for Tronto, as their sounds contrast each other well.

In exchange for not using tape, the tape saturation plugin within Kontakt 5 is enabled, along with the regular saturation effect and Tronsonic's own tape and valve impulse response within the convolution reverb. This is all simultaneously activated with the 'saturation' button on the interface.

Features:

• 7 phase aligned waveforms from a legendary 1980s Japanese DCO analogue synth.
• Recorded using vintage valve pre-amps without tape, for waveform precision.
• A choice of 30 filters.
• 6 LFOs, two per section (oscillator, filter, amplifier).
• 2 global LFOs and an AHD envelope modulating each of the 6 LFOs.
• 36 variations of spring reverb.
• Over 100 Presets (many with a 'modular' style sound).
• Link synths with 'Tronto' in multi-mode for dual oscillators and control.
• Unique tape 'saturation' button with custom tape/tube impulse response.
• With tuned self-oscillation and extra fat sawtooth/square bass samples.

This instrument contains 7 different sets of samples - each spanning over 7 octaves, apart from the sub saw/square bass, which is limited to the lower octaves only. All samples manually looped with phase-aligned start points

Introductory price is £14.99. Includes 25% discount code for 'Tronto'. Existing Tronto owners will always be able to purchase this for the current 25% off intro offer.
