Pentagon I
Reviewed By SynthHead [all]
March 18th, 2002
Version reviewed: 1.2 on Windows
Pentagon I is my first choice synth. Nothing I have heard comes close in sonic quality, flexibility and ease/speed of use. I can translate an idea in to a sound better and quicker with Pentagon I than with any other I have used. I use it with Sonar through DirectiXer and I haven't had any crashes yet, even with as many as six instances open at once. One other thing I like Pentagon I for is that it works well with other instruments, acoustic and electronic. It can warm up and empty mix or cut through a busy one. If I had only one synth to use, Pentagon I would be the one I would choose. The manual is clear and informative, the presets are USEFUL. Most of my patches are derived from the presets. As far as service is concerned, Rene' is very responsive to email and K-v-r forums. But I haven't had any problems. The new skins with v1.2 are vedry fun to work with and you can make your own. If you are thinking about buying Pentagon, just spend the $99.00.
