Microrock Pro

(full disclosure: I tested the Mac AU port of this plug)

This is a plug with character. I've been able to use it both as a faux guitar (lots of effects over it), and as a synth in its own right. In both cases it has a very individual sound that can really make a track. Check out my tracks "Prophecies" and "Odd, is he?".

Interface: Good, definitely readable (my eyes are getting older), but could be slightly better. Maybe it's just that there are too many options that can not be logically arranged, but I keep hunting over that panel.

Sound: Great. Lots of presets to give you an idea of what the thing can do.

Features: lots.

There is a short but adequate manual, support over email is good. The plug has been stable for me. Definitely value for money.

My only quibble is with the implementation of the legato mode. I really had to do some midi editing to get a melody (in my piece Prophecies) with a swelling attack that did not catch the tail of a fading previous note. But maybe there is no good solution for that in a mono-synth.Read Review
