Synth1

Reviewed By Cruba [all]
July 7th, 2016
Version reviewed: 7 on Windows

I installed Synth1 maybe 10 times and also removed it 10 times. Half a year ago I installed Synth1 for the 11th time (rofl) cos' so many people can't be wrong! Comon' Synth1, what's your secret. I downloaded the mega 14.000 presets collection, listen, listen, listen... No, also 14.000 Presets didn't offer me a reason why Synth1 should be so cool.

For my actual concept album (70's psychadellic/progressive rock sound & rules melt with 90's techno sound & rules), I was in the need for a very nasty, analog accoustic sounding bassguitarish sound celebrating the 70's. It took me 3 days Synth1 try & error and big fails, but in the end I got a bass directly from worsest 70's psychadellic mothership... lol

The way you could control the behaviour of a sound is the Synth1 big advantage and the most weird fact: It sounds always clean in the meaning you don't have this nerving sidesounds other synths produce and you can't trap Synth1. What I mean? Synth1 has something like extremly polished manners. You could do a rough and harsh sound, but it follows the rule not to go on nerves. You want an ultra lowend calm bass? You will get it, but not missing power and not making problems with vibrating headphones or speakers. Synth1 sounds always brilliant with the accoustic, dirty, nasty, electronic touch you give the sound.

The first 3 Songs for my concept album was made with different synths, the 4th song was born out of playing around with Synth1 and opening an instance more and an instance more...

For the 5th song, I was speaking about before, first time I designed all sounds myself. No try & error, when needing a bass, I was learning how to reach the goal as long as it was the bass I wanted. Out of this work my 1st bank was done. It contains 74 selfdesigned Sounds.

I have a socalled init sound. It has nothing on, just adjusted, that you hear a simple sound.

I was putting my 5th song online yesterday and was speaking with some people about Synth1's capabilities. I was showing some people my 5th track and they didn't believe it's pure Synth1, just the bassdrum is from Marvin VST.

Synth1 is a beast and not a smally one! Fact.

Synth1 in action: 13 instances, 12 out of 74 self designed sounds out of Cajhmere's 72 bank was used
additional Effects: Dust Bucket 64-bit & Distorque Azurite 64-bit (chorus), NastyDLAmkII 32-bit (delay), Poor Plate 64-bit & Abstract Chamber 64-bit (reverb), Bark of Dog 64-bit (saturation), space360 32-bit (room), 5band Luftikus 64-bit (Equalizer)
