Pretty nice Synth, perhaps one of the best VA-Softsynth atm.

The Oscs:
Really cool, particularly the way how the unisio works on the single oscs, not like the typical way(V-station for example) no in this cases each voice is an extra osc - and that sounds very good.
But too bad that there is no PWM :-(

The Filter:
Perhaps the best part of this synth, sounds smooth not to aggressiv, additional qith warm drive.

The Effects:
6 Slots - and all usefull! Distortion very fexible, chorus and phaser works also smoothly like the filter. EQ with 2 slops for the 2 bands, but 3 bands would be better. Delay - many parameters, so it works very fine. Reverb works only for small rooms, how every synth-reverb. This is in every synth the weak point. compressor is also a good feature, better would be the choise between compress and limit.

The concept:
With the 2 layer-concept you have many many more possibilitys for sounddesign. Together with the mod-matrix you can easy make evolving bright pads or funky sequences.

All togehter:
Very good VA-Softsynth. BUT he can be better... PWM, Wavetable, 3Osc pro Layer, different filter-distortion-types, 3band eq and a file browser would be nice.

So what can i more say, sounds good, is flexible, good factory. Only real bad thing - the support(in this cases the name support is improperly)
