Holy canole, what a beast....seriously the most bang for your buck here. It can do the dirty jobs of nasty gritty basslines, or fluttery synths, sound efx, pads, whatever you want, you can achieve from this synth. It is very easy to use once you get used to the gui and options it poses. I will be utilising a lot of sounds from this synth. Seriously, If I had only this synth, I would be ok.

It also comes with a very fat selection of presets . This is also one of the first Vsti's that I have ran across that I didn't want to tweak the patches, they were so pleasing and usable, I just would let some of them be. The awesome thing also is, that it sits so well in a mix, not too overpowering, not too thin, jussst riight!

The manual that comes with this synth, is very basic and tells you some history of the synth. But don't worry, just tweak the hell out of this synth, it will never crash, never. Very lite on the cpu too. So you can learn on the fly without having to worry about non stability.

Just go get the demo, and then buy it...

Wusik Wusik Station

I was skeptical at first about this synth. I am also stocked up on synths so I had no real need for another one. But, I saw a person on the KVR marketplace selling theirs. So it perked my interest, and I listened to some demos, and it struck me as a really nice ambient synth. Which, I thought, why not, I will take the plunge at the price it was being sold. Holy crap, was I in for a world unknown to me, a world of beauty and flexibility. I am in love with this synth from first play. When I first got Wusik, it took me a while to install, as it comes with SSoooooo many sounds, and not just some quality sounds and some crap sounds like most preset libraries, but all very usable beautiful/ugly sounds. A wide range of possibilities is possible with this synth. Not to mention the 3rd party support for preset libraries, which there is a lot of. Also, if you subscribe to the Wusik online publication, you get free soundsets with that as well. That is awesome as well, so much knowledge in those publications.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I love this synth because of its vast range of sounds, rock solid non crashing abilities and amazing community and support. To compare this synth to another ambient type synth, like Atmosphere by spectrasonics, I would say it definatly is a better synth than atmosphere. It has more flexibility, doesn't take as much cpu juice, and is way cheaper, and damnit, it sounds better. Don't get me wrong, this Wusik synth can do basses, lead, fx(amazingly) and others. Not too mention you can take a patch and really warp it well. I could go on for days....just try the demo, buy it, buy the publication, in that order.

Bye
