Proclethya

Oooh...almost there. Sigh. Proclethya is a good-sounding synth (forget the effects-heavy presets!) that's just shy of greatness. It's pluses are it's easy to tweak, it's effects aren't half bad (they're serviceable), it has a nice graphic EQ, and it's arpeggiator is very good. Unfortunately, in this day and age where you can practically route any parameter in a synth's matrix, Proclethya only allows three or four (!) - Filter, Pitch, FM amount and Filter bipolar amount. I wish it could automate, for instance, the mix levels, pan filter Q or any parameter, really. Still, it is good for what it is and I do find it useful for sound design since it's so simple.

The filters sound amazing. There are 4 flavours of analog low pass filters with multiple sculpting options and healthy dose of non-linearity. There is some feedback internally but it is not adjustable. Oscillators are not too fancy but they sound good with independent drift. Great sound with 4x oversampling. It's a blast to play with full polyphony.

If you already have something like Diva this may not impress you much, but for a fraction of the price (usually goes on sale for about $20 ish) this is well worth it. Presets are okay but you need to start tweaking to unlock the synths full potential.

Really decent synth, after watching the videos I was intrigued to try it. Then I saw the offer and bought it along with a preset pack off their website.

I was really impressed, easy to use, has a really nice sound, the arp/sequencer is a pleasure to use. I hope more presets come along for it, and its found its way into my work instantly.
