well not exactly new but sort of a re-discovery so to speak.
got hold of 2 new vsti's this morning and have been putting them through their paces and have been mightily impressed.
1st being discovery dsp pro
a proper synth in every word,infact it's as close as i've got to having a virus in the pc
a bit expensive though (149 euros) and for that money it doesn't out perform surge,which is cheaper but superior in a lot of departments.
but still if u can get hold of a demo of dsp pro,try it & trust me u won't be dissapointed.
2ndly 'synth 1'
had this when it 1st came out & thought it was very mediocre but the japanese guy who created this has updated it late last year & after a few recommendations from various 'minimal techno' producers i thought i'd give the updated version a try.
completely not the synth i remembered!!!
very capable nord lead emulator,although doesn't sound and respond exactly like the nord lead it has a lot of it's 'sound character' so it's a doddle getting those harsh fm sounds (wicked for metalheadz ripoffs )
huge analog pads and stabs and of course that 'dirty bass' that the nords are infamous for.
so all in all it's been a good day in the vsti/synth world and i'd thoroughly recommend those 2 beaut's to anyone who's into synthesizers and has a pc.
p.s. ignore all the soundbanks on synth1 and get programming on your own sounds immediately as the presets r dreadful & not even worthy as a starting point for your own sound creations
