Impulse

An interesting synth with a decent sound. With its ring modulator, some very interesting sound shaping can be done. In Double Mode, you effectively get 4 detuned voices, to achieve a Unison-like effect. It's portamento supports polyphony, which is great, and the auto pitch slide up or down feature is also super useful. It also can sound pretty nice in Stereo. However, the modulation destinations are severely limited though, as Env2 can only control Osc2's pitch. The LFO can only control master pitch, volume and filter, so no PWM or individual oscillator detuning etc. Also, the filter models are very rudimentary, it did not impress me. But I've seen worse. All in all, a decent virtual analog synth, that captures the 90s-2000s feel.

EXCELLENT old synth!

Great VST, but I found a bug. I use Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio in the 192K, 32 bit (Floating), Stereo mode. I selected the "Square Mod Synth" custom preset (an Acoustica variant of Return of Bender) and it lagged out my entire composition horribly! I tracked it down to the 'shape' setting in the LFO 1 region. If I use anything other than 'Sqr', there is no problem. It is something with that specific setting in the 192K mode that seem to lag out the system. I wonder if this can be fixed? Thank you in advance!

Very pleasing sound!

Very nice synth!

It's a classic soft-synth, Thanks.

Pretty analog noise, Awesome Synth!

Turn off all fx to hear the real analog beast inside.
