Saurus 4

This is an absolutely fantastic synth with lots warmth and character.

The reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because version 3 doesn't introduce enough changes to warrant a major update. It feels more like V 2.7 rather than a full blown V3. There are many requests and suggestions from users on the Tone2 forum that have gone unaddressed in this update.

Still the synth sounds great, (just as the previous version did) and it's easy and fun to program too.

Great!!
It's a great synth. Of the best there is.
Easy to use and with many presets to get started.
I love the Tone2 synths.

What an amazing synth! Just rediscovered it after not giving it much attention for a while and i must say it really impressed me with its truly analog sound. I used to go to diva for those flavors but now i found out that Saurus sounds even better. Its a shame that the interface looks a bit dull (as tone2 website) but the sound kicks a55. Actually i believe the reason it isnt a very popular synth is because of the interface being kind of weird in color/shadows and proportions. Actually all tone2 synths suffer from this, i hope they will get a more inspired designer soon because design affects perception and lots of people are influenced by that.

Sound - 10/10

Ease of use - 8/10 (the arp/matrix screen could have been bigger)

Interface - 6/10
