Psychic Modulation Optik

It's a nice little VST, you can get some really good sounds out of it, especially if you need a punchy or really fat kick sound, you can make it with this little thing. I use it mainly for hip-hop, techno, powernoize, and layering with other samples, but it can be used for other styles too.


The Gui's pretty good, like in the review below mine, the sliders could be larger, but they're good enough. The interface isn't cluttered or anything. I kinda like that it's small, doesn't clutter the screen unlike other VSTs.


Overall, great VST that's worth a try. Plus it's a great value for the money (money? It's free!), it would be more awesome if maybe more presets were available, but either way, I'm very glad that I found Optik.
