UVI Subculture
$39 USD
Original review February 2018
Bottom Line:
As an EDM producer this is most likely right up your alley, but from my point of view as a more traditional orchestral producer, this was a real surprise. Not only did I love the basic sound of SubCulture, but the simple to experiment interface is perfect for my compositions

UVI Vintage Vault 2
Original review posted September, 2017
Bottom Line:
The Vintage Vault series has been expanded, updated and but still remains excellent value, and if the trend continues to introduce more titles to the line the future looks bright for synthoholics like me. UVI are proving themselves time and again as a worthy competition to the venerable Kontakt line, and with their generous licensing, extensive product range and straightforward workflow the UVI Engine platform looks to be the most exciting contender for No1 spot on the market right now.

Native Instruments Electric Sunburst

Bottom Line:
This is such an exciting synth, easily one of my favourites. The clever workflow rewards experimentation, but never leaves you feeling lost for inspiration.

UVI FM Suite
$149 USD
Bottom Line:
Where Vintage Vault 2 may be a little too broad for some people, FM Suite squarely focuses on classic FM heritage in a well-curated and value bundle.

D16 Group Lush-101
$195 USD
Bottom Line:
LuSH-101 certainly has a retro vibe but the presets and general design of the instrument pushes more towards contemporary EDM and pop.
Reviews
Rob Papen Go2
$49 USD
Bottom Line:
Go2 is not a poor man’s Blue 2 by any means. It is leaner and faster to learn, with some similarities and inspirations for sure.

Spitfire Audio BT Phobos
Original review November 2017
Bottom Line
In a rather crowded section of the market, BT Phobo certainly stands out for its quirkiness, yes – but with the quality of the samples, unique and creative approach with convolution morphing, nothing else delivers the same evolving and immersive soundscapes. Spitfire Audio are also showing they are willing to take risks and not rest on their laurels, which is really exciting and can only lead to more innovative products like Phobos. Awesome stuff.
