Copy protection is no problem and no dongle required

The sounds are fresh, the various LFOs and env are useful, so are the effects. Except the reverb which sucks on most vsts

Huge selection of fresh sounds.

The Arp presets are worse then nexus, you have to make your own. Gate is fun

The filters are simple but you get mostly great sounds out of the box.

Navigating with the computer keyboard is fast and easy, like in nexus

The only thing i wish more in this VST is a zoom option for bigger screens.
They should vectorize the Ui and put some other color options then the blue. color picker. Menues which you do not need often should be closable, or with a minimize button. Bigger letters would be more important to dial in sounds quickly


This is great when you want to lay out a song FAST, tweak and add instruments, effects and eqs as needed...

Great

First of all, great synth

After downloading for 3 days with my 56k modem i could finally install, register and open up the vst

No need to stick dongly little things in my computer in order to help scared developers sleep better. Great, i can have this on my laptop


The presets:
Those are not only presets, many are finished loops which can be tweaked. Its almost like a tweakable samplepack.
Tweakable nexus. Not exactly, it will use a lot more CPU depending on the number of modulations.
To me the sound quality depends a lot on what kind of filters and effects are used, gladly there are about a thousand to chose from, maybe less i am not sure as i am overwhelmed by such high numbers.


The Ui:
While quite logical one should know what a synthesizer is, what waveforms, filters, envelopes, LFOs and such are there for. It does look a bit overwhelming due to all the options, but so does shitting in the toilet for a one year old.

No need to have a PhD in soundesign to start making your own presets, but considering how well made the 600+ presets already are you will need that expertise to make something better.

If you dont have friends or if you are willing to part with your social life you could easily become a true expert at making amazing presets with this, so dont give up.

Or use the presets, your friends will think that you are the next avicici. I recommend not telling them the truth about your skills until you have exploited everything that your limited stardom has granted you.


To my taste, the Ui, while logical and practical, will not win a beauty pageant anytime soon.
Hopefully it is skinnable, id pay for a good skin to not look at that bland vibration creating machine.
The current skin almost looks like its made to control military robots or something like that, super efficient, no funk here, the funk is in the presets and tools provided.

Also, i miss some of the luxury visuals i got used to in serum, not many, but here and there its kinkier


Practicality:
I see myself using this a lot, you dont NEED another synth as this does it all.

Still i prefer using serum and dune, mostly because i am so familiar with them. Also they dont look like they are a controller to operate a spacestation, they do, but not in the same bland way.

All in all, great synth, but you already know this, so go buy it while its still warm out of the oven.


Or make the world a better place by learning how to make great sounds with any shitty synth and spend that money you saved to help the hungry and sick.

Just kidding, its ok to play.
