STRANG 2: a classic subtractive synth with a living body (+ 10 copies to give away)

STRANG 2 is built around a single conviction. A great synth should breathe. So we took the bones of a classic subtractive, one core oscillator, the helpers it needs, filters that bite, and grafted convolution into its body. The result isn't a hybrid. It's a subtractive that finally has room to live in.
With our Corridor reverb engine built in, that room is architecture, not algorithm. Every note arrives from a place.
To mark the launch, I'm giving away 10 copies. Want one? Reply with a reason and I'll PM the winners a voucher code. Yours to keep.
Try it free, or grab it for $59. macOS now (AU / VST3 / Standalone / AAX), Windows landing this week.

Listening to the sounds, I could feel my ancestors swaying gently across time and space. I want this to continue.

Ok this sounds very intriguing especially i want this for Garden Time (alone) which instantly reminded me of an old C64 game I now have to remember which it was.

Sent you a voucher! The c64 will always be in my heart so it might shine through on some of the sounds :)

Hey, thanks!

Unfortunately I get the message "Voucher code invalid" when trying to redeem, after creating my account. What to do?

Now the voucher gets redeemed!

Ah, found it, I'd missed a setting on my end. Should be working now, give it another go. If anything still acts up the coupon will sort you out. Appreciate the patience!

Would love to experiment with this, maybe take it to space for a game soundtrack 👍

Demo sounds pretty impressive for 1 oscillator and a couple of effects!

Would love a copy to try to break it! (I'm a beta tester :) )

The force is strong with this one...

Cheers! In fairness I can't take all the "one oscillator" credit, there's a sub osc in there too, and a dual mode if you want to stack two sounds. But the body, the part that actually makes it STRANG, all happens on the main oscillator. That's the heart of it. Please do try to break it, that's exactly the feedback I want. Voucher incoming.

Game soundtrack is right in its wheelhouse, the evolving bodies were built for exactly that. Voucher on the way, take it to space.

Sounds great! Why do I want it? Because I love exploring synthesizers and I want all the synthesizers! :lol: Seems especially useful for ambient music, which is one of my main genres.

Thanks!! BTW having trouble signing up, it says "failed to fetch" when trying. Something on my side?

I don't want a free license but it sounds pretty good based solely on the video. Nothing I can't do with other synths in my collection but I will try the demo.
