Gospel Musicians has announced the release of Pure Synth Platinum Version 2 for Mac OS and Windows in VST, AU and AAX plug-in formats. It is on sale for an introductory rate of $99.99. Existing Pure Synth Platinum customers can upgrade for $49.99.
Gospel Musicians say Pure Synth Platinum 2 is a completely custom and new architecture, which is entirely different from the previous version. They built this architecture from the ground up with the emphasis on three main things:
- User Friendliness.
- Lower CPU.
- Thick, rich, Warm analog sound.
The entire Pure Synth architecture is centered around "fantastic sounds that sound organic, thick, rich, and full of analog flavor".
Gospel Musicians says: "Over the years we have crafted our own analog routing configurations and gear to allow for a ton of flavor in the sounds. In an age where the new definition of a rompler is basically an EDM machine, we wanted to bring back the the days of the true rompler sound, where rich acoustic pianos, warm horns, solo strings, and realistic woodwinds are prominent as well. At the same time we realized that all sounds are not created equal, so instead of giving you hundreds of sound categories that you would never use, we took the liberty to focus our soundest on, what we think as urban musicians ourselves, you would love to hear more of as well."
Sound Highlights:
- Pianos: Very warm realistic pianos with a custom release playmode that decays and releases like a real piano. A KYBRD option was added to increase the decay faster in upper registers.
- Electric Pianos - A version of Neo-Soul Suitcase with the classic infinite sustain that you hear on many Neo-Soul records is included.
- OB and Synth Horns - A glut of OB style synths notwithstanding the pads, strings, and a plethora of OB horn emulations that sound warm and rich.
- Pure Sine - The classic urban sine wave leads, subs, and layered stacks.
- Worship Pads - Very usable and classic warm pads that are almost all connected to the mod wheel for real-time filter adjustments.
- Orchestral Strings - Very realistic and lush sounding strings.
- BASSalicious - It's no secret that Gospel Musicians are synth bass fanatics, so they've included a ton of synth bass patches.
- Vox - Boys and girls choirs and jazz phrase and scats.
