Two New Reviews in Soundbytes
Thursday, June 11, 2020 at 11:52AM Last month's Soundbytes came out and I've got two reviews in it.
First up is a review of a lovely sound modifyer from Sugarbytes. This is called Looperator, and it will allow you to modify a single sound source in wondrous and complex ways. It's for Mac, PC and iOS, and for iOS, since it's an AUv3 plugin, you can also have multiple instances of it, if you have a compatible framework, such as Cubasis or apeMatrix or AUM.

The second review is mostly about Surge, a FREE microtonal plugin synth for PC, or Mac. It's a wonderful synth, with lots of power to make all sorts of crunchy sounds. Also mentioned in the review are two new beta synths by the same folks, Tuning Workbench Synth, and a microtonal capable version of Dexed, the DX7 clone. Both free, and both with microtonality baked in by Jacky Ligon. By the way, the newer versions of these last two now work beautifully in the VST3 environment, so ignore the last paragraph of my review. The Tuning Workbench Synth also allows you to expand or compress the range of any scale to any degree. This is a capability that hasn't been this easily available before. I can see that there might be a whole new ccategory of tunings that could result from this.
