Version reviewed: 1.0 on Windows

As a beta tester of this synth, i got to see it develope from start to finish.

First off, it should be mentioned that it's a welcomed break from the latest craze of emulate this and reproduce that synth.

The abstract guitar uses harmonics to create just like the name says, string algorythm bizarre sounds. A little difficult to tweak at first, in no time you'll be sculpting interesting leads and soundscapes.

Slightly limiting in it's synthesis don't expect to sit down and make a strait up saw osc sound. But as an artist's tool, it leaves much sonic territory to completly mess around with.

I recommend this synth to anyone who digs the quality of DASH products, and wants to dive into some immidiate new sounds without having to spend hours setting up oscillators and modulator patches.

The build in feedback, reverb, and amp emulation is a nice touch. A little processor heavy, but for what it accomplishes it's not too shabby. About 24% on my outdated P3 500.

Version reviewed: Chicken on Windows

As a beta tester, I saw this plugin (or heard i guess) develope from the start. It certainly has come a long way, and the latest revision of it offers very rich authentic hardware sound, (I hate saying that because it seems too many VST's try to emulate hardware) but daAlfa2k holds its own as a rich unique sounding synth. Creamy pads, and hard basslines (if you tweak it right) are easy to attain. Only quirk for me is that it's a little steep on the processor usage. About 23 on my p3 500 box. Overall great synth for the price.
