Surge XT

Reviewed By dasdeck [all]
June 28th, 2010
Version reviewed: 1.5.2 on Windows

User Interface
this is the part i like best about surge. the user interface is the best i've come across! its so fast to work with, yet i like its vibe.

Sound
The sound is high quality, thought i find it to tend to be a bit "hard" or "harsh" sounding. its very clean and precise, wich is good and bad. good if you like controll, bad if you like good sounding accidents.

Features
I find the future set quite complete. it has multiple synthesizing methods, wavetable, VA and FM, internal fx and flexible routing and modualation abilitys.

Documentation
never needed it as far as i remember. the userinterface's workflow worked quick with me. i'm very quick, when it comes to grasp ui concepts in general thought.

Presets
i did not like the presets at all to be honest. so i never use them. i find the style of them kind of sterile and computer game alike. there are 3rd party ones thought, plus you can get additional wavetables.
i may release some of my presets too!

Customer Support
mhh..i guess the company is not dead, but not that active either.
the last update was some time ago as far is i remember.

Value For Money
a solid product for a fair price.

Stability
i havily use this plugin almost dayly, so it should speak for itself that i can barely remember any issues i had with it. there where some thought. but non casual ones (aka. no crash, just little quirks). but i don't even remember what it was!

thats it for now!
if you want a nice, all over solid quality synth with a killer workflow, get surge!
