Pendulate

I picked up Pendulate years ago, played with it for a night, then forgot about it and never picked it up again.

Then I got an email about an update and decided to reinstall this and give it a fair listen.

Pendulate sounds good, and it sounds better than it did years ago. If I recall correctly, years ago it was noisy, glitchy, and dangerous lol, but today it seems more stable, more musical, and honestly pretty good for a specific range of sonic characteristics.

Pendulate does gruesome mono bass synth/drone sounds quite well, runs with minimal CPU usage, and its VST3 plays well with cubase 12, 13, and bitwig 5.1.9/5.2 beta. The sonic palette that you can pull out of Pendulate isnt the widest or most interesting, but the FREE pricetag, excellent low end sounds it produces, improvements over time, & addition of MPE allows me to give this 4 out of 5 stars. This is a fun synth and the vendor doesnt force iLok or any such nonsense.
