SynC Modular
The SynC Modular is a software synthesizer. It gives you, though limited as any synth, but quite versatile possibilities for creating and using new sounds. SynC Modular is modular.This means that it has no fixed structure. Instead it allows you to create your own synth structures, as well as using the synth structures created by others. Ideally you can simulate any synthesizer with its modular features. In practice, though, there are always limits to all vanilla promises. SynC Modular is multitimbral. You can have as many as 16 different synths playing at the same time within SynC Modular. Besides that you can change any of those synths for another one on the fly, by means of MIDI program change. The limit to this vanilla promise is your CPU performance which sets the top margin on the overall complexity of the synths. SynC Modular is fast. With its unique modular optimization technology it offers you the performance of a non-modular software synth. SynC Modular is flexible. When going down the module structure it allows you as deep as creating your own oscillators and filters! The Sawtooth oscillator, the Sine oscillator, the 1- and 2-pole filters and many more modules are not the basic pieces. You can dig further into their internal structure. This promise is limited by the fact that you better know the DSP theory if you are willing to design your own filters, rather than combining the existing ones. But hey, you could use filters created by someone else, couldn't you? Our Review: SynC Modular is a rather nice and powerful software synthesizer that, combined with a decent soundcard, can soar your production capabilities to new heights. It has quite a nice interface that can be skinned, but one of the best features has to be the ability to define your own filters (if you understand what you are doing) which means you manipulate samples almost any way you wish. The design interface is modular - simply string components together to form a path for the sound to be altered through. It should be noted that SynC Modular is by no means a beginner's program and neither is it my synth/mixer of choice. Nevertheless, it is functional and powerful and, operating as a VST2 plugin, it could make a great addition to your primary composition application (such as Cubase).
