Silk is a virtual analogue synthesizer plugin dedicated to a single waveform:
The sawtooth, which is among the most used and common waveforms to create sounds with subtractive analog and virtual analog synthesis.

Silk has got two sawtooth oscillators which each generate an unison sound of 7 combined voices.
These parts in this "multisaw" can be detuned and blended in, leading to a very rich airy and bright sound with lots of interesting harmonics.
An additional noise oscillator can add some dirt.

These oscillators build the sonic heart of Silk. This sound is then shaped by the filter. In addition to the classic low, high and bandpass filters often used in subtractive synthesis, Silk has also got a formant filter which produces voice-like sounds.

Combined with a flexible modulation matrix, a creamy chorus, stereo delay and reverb effect, Silk has got sounds that can be used in all types of electronic music.

Silk is available as a 64-bit instrument plugin for Windows and Mac.

Features:

  • 2 aliasing free multisaw oscillators.
  • 1 noise oscillator.
  • Resonant filter with 6, 12, 18 and 24db/oct lowpass, 12 dB/oct highpass and bandpass.
  • Formant filter with predefined settings for vowels.
  • 2 modulation ADSR envelopes.
  • 2 LFOs syncable to host.
  • Flexible mod matrix with 8 slots.
  • Effect section with 2-stage chorus, stereo delay and reverb.
  • 16 voice polyphony.
  • Over 70 ready to play presets organized in categories.
  • Resizable vector-based UI.
  • Runs on Windows (VST2 and VST3) and Mac (AU, VST 2 and VST3), 64-bit only.

Sonicbits - Silk Short Review (English).

The Silk sounds good and is available for little money 19 $ EUR.
The user interface (GUI) is exemplary and clearly designed.

All parameters and controls are very easy to use and easy to see. The Silk is also scalable for modern 4K monitors 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 125%, 150%, 175%, 200%.

The sharpness and color selection are very well done. A great GUI to my taste.

The manual can even be accessed via the interface in the system button, for beginners it is a well thought out virtual software synthesizer with 3 oscillators (2x saw and 1x noise), spread and blend function plus detune - 99 & + 99, range -24 & +24.

There are 7 filter types to choose from, even a 6 LP filter and formant filter with A E I O U has been thought of. The modulation envelope and the modulation matrix invite you to create new sounds.

With the 2 LFO low frequency oscillators you can create floating sounds and also rhythmic sound images. The 2 LFOs have sine, saw, square, triangle and S&H waveforms. The rate for the LFO is equipped with SYNC and FREE, which can be edited with the RATE function 0.01 Hz to 40.00 Hz and the DEPTH function 1 to 100.

The 3 effects chorus, delay and reverb sound good and give the sound more space and fullness.
There is a pitch wheel and a mod wheel function for your MIDI keyboard.
