And, if programmed right, unison pads really sound HUGE. Given it’s got some unique waveforms (as for quasi-analogue oscillator), I would find it tremendously sick if it had FM, but even as is this synth is self-consistent chunk of software, very inspiring to play and program, and equally good for keyboard shredding or sonic experiments. It is quite amazing – the other day I arranged a track with two drum loops layered and then sent to a feedback loop (which makes it like, two times louder), Aalto bass sequence (a patch, once again, with lots of feedback–delay feedback), and adding a Saurus lead I wasn’t even expecting it to remain clearly audible through this wall of noise, but it cut through a mix like a knife through a butter. Make some of these parameters affect each other to have results it is hard to predict.įrom my experience, Saurus is one of those rare plug-ins that don’t get lost in a mix. I also noticed that amount of modulation in modmatrix for all 15 parameters could be automated – assign 8 of them to nanokontrol sliders and you have even more control. I could hardly think of another non-hardware synth that is so great–if at all could be used–for improvised music – turning a few knobs changes sound dramatically, great for drones. It is the first vst that I really enjoy tweaking in real-time – as far as plug-ins go, I think it comes most close to that feeling you have while messing with one knob per function vintage synths. Authentic emulation of analog synths: True-Analog-Modeling-Technology. It covers all aspects of the most famous and expensive synths, but without disadvantages. In 2011 it was Madrona Labs Aalto – I bought it 8 months ago and use all the time, I think it will be the same with Saurus. Finally, true analog sound does no longer require compromises: Saurus is an extremely authentic emulation of analog synthesizers.
