Really cool, excellent "darker" off-mainstream sounds, usable from cinematic to halloween and beyond and also more intense editable for more individual use.

Good, sonically flexible freeware entry into the Mndala 2 world with nevertheless a lot of useful editing and deep editing opions. Recommended.

Mndala 2 is a interesting plugin platform, the plugins themselves mostly are some sort of interesting off-mainstream selections, mostly somewhere between (natural) noises and (really good, but rather unusual) instruments.

While Mandala's first version still was a little more complicated, Mndala 2 now presents itself as a professional, well designed platform with an individual, also very good working concept, so this is not just another sample player, but something much more complex at contemporary state-of-the-art level.

The presets usually already sound good, can be modified by an interesting visual control system, but Mndala 2 also allows a lot of additional editing and deep editing options too, so at first glance all the possibilities and features are not really recognizable.

Klavir is at first glance a more "regular" piano plugin, with only few presets, but if you use them, you soon notice, that this plugin is much more than just a simple piano plugin.

The sounds are based on this captured piano, but they range up to drones, pads, even to some sort of piano-sound-based synthesizer tones, which mostly sound excellent, but additionally can be intensely modified or altered to even completely different tones too.

Also a good start into Mndala 2, as Klavir is freeware but is nevertheless capable of showing the user the potential of the whole system.

Highly recommended.
