I can't believe I never tried this until now! I thought of it as "just another VA" until I gave it a spin. This thing is so versatile, and sounds great. The different distortion algorithms are great for aggressive sounds.

Dominator is great. Thanks for the reminder.

+1 it is a great plug

Because of the rather amateurish GUI, it is easy to think it sounds amateurish too, but it doesn't

vstplanet must have got a deal with CM, to be able to distribute it after it was cleaned out of the CM Studio, when they relaunched that a couple of years ago.

i love it for my 8-bit/c-64 sid retro styled leads: this thing is great for that kind of stuff.

Hmmm, I don't know, specially because Dominator is still available thru Zinio, when you buy older CM editions or most of the Ultimate Guides.

"Programmed from the ground up to CM's own specifications"

Who did the coding?

Ah sou...makes sense that it is good. ASynth is also excellent.

I'm also surprised by how (forgive me) analog it can sound. http://k007.kiwi6.com/hotlink/8bsjguqth ... g_demo.wav

I've been using Dominator for years. Absolutely love it. Thanks for sharing the link Numanoid, I actually needed to reinstall it recently and started a free trial of CM on Google Play just do download it only to find it wasn't in the plugins folder.

But it doesn't even have zero delay feedback filters!

Antti is an amazing developer, I had no idea that he's the guy behind Dominator. His ASynth is still one of my favorite VAs.

Dominator is an exceptional synth.

Shitty interface, but I like it actually.

Does the job. Never sounds boring.

Gui it up with some shiny knobs and charge 200 bucks and it would be a big hit.

I use it for whooshing white noise type of sounds which is underplaying it, but yeah, it can do a whole lot more.

Amazing synth. This has been noted before - check out the threads.
