There are many synth plugins on the market. Many of best known companies (Native Instruments, Xfer Records…) but also many from independent developers. One of the most underrated synth plugins on the markt in my opinion is ArcSyn Synthesizer by SPC Plugins. 3 very versatile oscillators, 2 multi-mode filters, different envelopes, 8 fully customizable LFO’s and several excellent sounding effects. This is a short summary of the features of ArcSyn Synthesizer.
What’s exciting about this synth plugin is that it’s not not trying to emulate a classic Synthesizer from the past but offers a new possibilities. Especially the excellent oscillators and very versatile and fully customizable LFO’s are my highlights of this synth. Both sections allows super deep sound design possibilities that are not possible with other synths in this price range. I’m happy to announce that the developer released today version 2 of this amazing instrument. In the new version 2, most of effects parameters are now available as modulation destinations what is for me a big new feature. This brings now even more sonic options. Beside this, it features now an external audio input so you can use ArcSyn as effect processor.
If you search a synth that doesn’t come from a best-known company and that includes new ideas than check out absolutely the demo version of ArcSyn.
