rgc:audio Triangle 2 VST Synth

rgc:audio Triangle 2 VST Synth

The basic sound of Triangle II is generic in a good way. It doesn't jump out at you the way that a Crystal or a Protoplasm does. It's 'in a good way` because you need those bread and butter sounds to round out your sonic creations.

Ugo Texture

Ugo Texture

Cosmo Girl 2

Superwave Superwave P8

Analogue and Subtractive synth. Someone said that this sounds better than the FM7 or the Pro53. You be the judge on that one. We still like the Pro53.

Tobybear Borderliner

Tobybear Borderliner

It's an attempt to break away from the normal synths available, providing you with a partly colour based interface. The colours represent moods. "Black and White" provide the basis.

Rumpelrausch Taips Crazy Diamonds

Rumpelrausch Taips Crazy Diamonds

Crazy Diamonds is another one of those very small specialized softsynths that only attempt to do one thing, in this case it's capture the sound and vibe of a Solina String Ensemble.

Big Tick Cheeze Machine
