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

[quantasticalsound]

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.

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

Sounds perfect, hope i get to hear some of it if you use STRANG! You will have a voucher in your pm shortly. Been having some issues with the signups but just let me know if theres any issues. Hopefully they are sorted now.

Sounds great, and ambient is exactly where it shines, I'd love to hear what you make with it. Check your PM for a voucher.
Heads up, I had a few teething issues with the vouchers and site earlier tonight, so just shout if anything acts up and I'll sort it right away.

I would ask for a copy but I'm on Windows. Been buying and playing synths for almost 50 years now. If I can find a way to break something, I'll break it. Anyway, good luck with the launch. I'm sure you'll do well with it.

maybe take it to space for a game soundtrack

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

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

Should work now! sorry!

Yes works now, awesome. Don't find the code but I am registered at least

According to the website there is a Windows version (that is landing this week) but I don't see a demo version.

No problem. I’m away from my computer today, but I should get back tomorrow.

I will try it, if its better than OnePingOnly!

A subtractive synth that doesn't sound boxed in, that's exactly what's missing from most plugins in this category. Would love to throw STRANG 2 into my live rig and let those convolution reverbs breathe on some pad/lead layers, the "every note arrives from a place" idea is basically what I'm always chasing with reverb sends anyway. Count me in!

It sounds amazing, very different. I want it to give a different color and movement to my music. I don’t have time to deep dive into complex synths! Good idea!

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.

The convolution side of it is pretty different. It happens before the filter and modulators, and has even more impact than the oscillators.

That may well be but nothing I hear in the video couldn't be reproduced with other synths I own.

Without a demo version to try, the video is all the info I have to go on at this point.

If there is ever a Windows demo version I'll give it a fair tryout.

Ha! I'll let it speak for itself rather than talk it up. Hopefully it earns a spot next to your favorites. Trial's free, give it a go.
