Version reviewed: 1.0 on Windows

Very effective for analog sounds, especially with the modulation matrix and the incredibly easy to use UI.

The only thing I can say isn't good about this are the envelopes, which are stock synthedit envelopes and are very awkward to work with. Otherwise this is a wonderful plugin to have, as it comes with tons of options and is capable of loading custom waveforms (if those waveforms are 16-bit, which some synths like Serum by Xfer can create).

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about anything developed by Analog Obsession. This plugin is really simple and easy to work with, yet it sounds amazing. It also has a beautiful UI, of coarse. Stuff like this could easily cost you hundreds of dollars, however this and everything else by this dev is free to download.

Trash

March 14th, 2024
Version reviewed: 1.0 on Windows

Really unfortunate to see what as been done with this plugin. While this plugin itself is not bad, Trash 2 was superior in many ways, such as having a delay, modulatable EQ, and a mastering section, while this only features the distortion and convolve modules. This may be enough for many, however Trash 2 is capable of custom waveshapes, while this is not. Some may find the UI to be better in this iteration, and I understand why, however I think this new UI is visually more boring then Trash 2.

I would argue it isn't really worth even the upgrade price, as even it's most unique feature (that being the morphing of four different shapes) can be done to a greater degree with other plugins like BLEASS's Fusion, which not only is less expensive then the upgrade price, it allows you to use full wavetables as distortion curves. Even Trash 2 to an extent could morph the waveshape.

Not a bad plugin, however it is very disappointing compared to the previous iteration.

Version reviewed: 1.01 on Windows

This is quite a fun synth. It is a big improvement over the original, adding new features, a much better UI (even if it's mostly just a simple color change) and fixing issues with the original, one of those being the knobs. In previous plugins, the knobs would be both the kind where you drag around it and the kind where you drag up and down. I am fine with either, but when it is both at the same time, it leads to really weird feeling knobs overall. This synth fixes that issue. This synth also sounds really good. There is a lot of aliasing if you do not turn on fixed size buffers (at least in FL Studio, not sure about other DAWs), which isn't a problem, just a good thing to keep in mind if you choose to try this synth.

There are two things I do not like, the first being that every time a note is pressed, it makes a little beep sound, which can sound good, but not something I want for every sound. The second is that the envelope resets for all notes, rather then just the one that is being played. There unfortunately appears to be no way to fix either issue.

Overall one of this developer's most polished and powerful synths, and it is worth a try if you are looking for something fun to add to your collection.

This is an incredible free synth, and is 1000% worth the download. It has many different oscillator types, filters, and modulation options available.

Version reviewed: 1.0 on Windows

This plugin has the potential. Their are a good number of options for synthesis included with this plugin, and their are a lot of interesting and fun things about this synth. Unfortunately it has issues that make it quite hard to enjoy using, such as certain settings not saving, the UI being laggy, and it's CPU use being incredibly high. I do hope that this plugin receives new updates in the future, as I believe it could be an incredible plugin.

Honestly, for $10, this plugin was worth it. It sounds incredible, and it's UI is perfect in every way. Each oscillator has three shaping knobs, making it capable of some interesting yet still very much so analog sounds.

Version reviewed: 1.0.3 on Windows

This synth is solid, offering a well made UI and a pretty good sound. I am not someone who uses presets, however despite that, I find that a lot of them are a bit lackluster, and their is a lot of filler. It is also functionally rather standard, which isn't exactly a problem, however I believe it is on the more pricey side for what it offers (however I did get this synth for free, which in that case it was absolutely worth downloading). Overall, good synth for sound design and beautiful UI.

A really simple yet really fun and powerful FM synth. It isn't the most complex synth that I have, however it absolutely is a wonderful addition to my collection.
