You could, conceivably, get away with never installing a plugin synth, simply using the ones that came with your, but where would be the fun in that? The software instrument market is now so large and diverse that you could spend a lifetime exploring it and still never run out of new sounds. You can choose from the latest generation of CPU-busting supersynths, classic hardware emulations that often - whisper it - improve on the originals, sample-based monsters that come stuffed with great-sounding presets, and out-there instruments that encourage experimentation. In its original incarnation we found Retrologue to be a surprisingly capable synthesizer, and one that makes a real virtue of its relative simplicity. Its one-window approach means that creating and tweaking sounds is very quick, but it also sounds good.

Each of its oscillators has a range of interesting shaping options, its filters do a good job, and it can create authentic analogue-style sounds and textures - to the extent that we have used it far more than we care to admit. Included with Cubase and also available on its own, Retrologue 2 is not a radical overhaul but it expands its capabilities in a few significant areas. The two main oscillators have been joined by a third with a similar feature set, with the existing sub-oscillator, noise source and (slightly expanded) ring-modulator capabilities still in place. The effects section has been overhauled, modulation is greatly enhanced - with two additional LFOs and a multipurpose bipolar envelope - and there’s a 32-step arpeggiator. In a world inhabited by numerous virtual analogue synths, one would be forgiven for not paying much attention to Steinberg's Retrologue. However, that would be a mistake. 4.5 out of 5 READ: Prev Page 2 of 51 Next Prev Page 2 of 51 Next.

Released in 2002, the original Oddity perfectly captured the character of the original ARP Oddysey upon which it was based. And that must have posed a bit of a problem for GForce: how could something so on-the-nose be improved for v2? Well, if Oddity sounded like a real Odyssey (which it did), then Oddity2 sounds almost like an entire revision history of the instrument, thanks to its greatly expanded filters, supercharged by the X-LFO and X-ADSR, which give it the ability it to produce sounds of far greater complexity than could ever be had from the original. Oh, and it's polyphonic now, too. So, what we have here is a spot-on emulation of the classic ARP Odyssey in its various incarnations, with some very well thought-out new features as well. 5 out of 5 READ: BUY: GForce Software Oddity2 currently available from: US: Prev Page 3 of 51 Next Prev Page 3 of 51 Next.

Predator 2 sticks with the same largely skeumorphic design as its predecessor, and keeps all the main synthesis controls immediately accessible from the front. With its considerably expanded architecture, this results in an even busier interface than before. The layout remains perfectly logical and it doesn't take long to learn your way around, certainly, but synthesis novices will have a hard time relating to it - which is where the new Easy Mode comes in. This is a much sparser GUI containing just the most important synthesis controls, the X/Y Pad and the Variation feature, which enables a variable degree of randomisation to be applied to the synth parameters and/or the FX section. Thanks to some new features, an overhauled audio engine, awesome wave mixing and, er, wavetabling, and an effects rack that still qualifies as one of the best in the business, Predator 2 sounds simply phenomenal, whether it's belting out gut-punching basses, razorblade leads, ear-tingling pads or intricate FX. 4.5 out of 5 READ: Prev Page 4 of 51 Next Prev Page 4 of 51 Next.

This is the successor to Trilogy - the bass instrument that was released in 2003 - and the second product (after Omnisphere) to be powered by Spectrasonics’ Steam engine. The 34GB library contains acoustic and electronic bass samples, and patches are built from one or two layers (up to eight patches can be layered together to create a multi). A serious number of processing options are onboard, though the simple interface means that you never feel overwhelmed.

If you own Trilian, it’s hard to imagine that you’ll ever need to look anywhere else for your bass sounds, and that’s got to go down as a high recommendation. 4 out of 5 READ: BUY: Spectrasonics Trilian currently available from: UK: US: Prev Page 5 of 51 Next Prev Page 5 of 51 Next. Spectral isn’t an iZotope Iris-style spectral synth, but instead one built on an additive architecture, fronted by a subtractive interface, making it easy to use but capable of potentially more interesting sounds than a virtual analogue. A Spectral patch starts with four oscillator sections, each with its own filter and amp/filter envelopes. Further modulation is on tap in the shape of three more envelopes and five LFOs, assignable in the modulation matrix. There are also six effects slots with 14 types, from regular Reverb, Delay, Flanger and Chorus to the more creative Gator, Wah-Wah, Filter and Crusher, plus a dedicated Master EQ. A powerful 32-step Arpeggiator with modulation-only mode, and a chord memory finish off the main furnishings.
