Crazy underated synth as part of the Tone2 collection. I feel like ElectraX and Gladiator get all of the attention but this little guy is a powerful workhorse with over 2,000 presets! And they're some of the best presets I've heard.

Reinstalled my three purchases last night on a brand new laptop and the company won't let me use Icarus as it saying I haven't activated it correctly of which is an out and out lie and this software warlock is spitting out intermittent noises in standalone mode when it should be actually playing music and there's definitely a mismatch but there's nothing wrong with my laptop it's an i9 32 core 64 gig RAM 4TB SSD.

It's not Firebird.

It's the same shell, but different engine.

More powerful and modern.

Analog filters are better than hardware.

Incredible sound.

This synthesizer is a hidden beast.

The randomize feature is amazing and generates really usable and interesting sounds in an instant.

This is the best software synthesizer I have owned in my life and I would recommend it to anyone from beginners to synth masters.

Vanguard/Slayer < Firebird < Warlock.

This synth is decades of work, so many useable pre-sets. A very useable "randomize" button that can just make good useable pre-sets for you on the fly.

The "filter" is just like on it's big brother Icarus, is perfect for 303 acid warping any sound very easily. It's such joy, FUN is great word to describe this synth.

I still see videos on Youtube about people getting nostalgic about how good Vanguard was back Ze day, and is no longer available. :(.

Warlock is here today, far more polished and useable.

Just get the demo and hit the randomize button and watch a whole afternoon disappear. :).
