Product Reviews by KVR Members

IMHO, Aurora FM is one of the very good sounding FM Software synthesizer that you could find in the market. I have been using it in many of my projects for the last 2 years, it has never disappointed me. Even in its raw form, I find the sounds from this synth to sit relaly well in most of my mixes. With a little bit of thrid party FX (Delay and Reverb to be specific), the sounds can be further improved. On my 3 years old laptop, this plugin does not eat up much resources (mostly in signle digits) even with multiple instances running.

Ryan (the developer behind this wonderful plugin) has been simply amazing with his constant mailers (no spamming) and important updates to the VST. He is also a very friendly developer who listens to the customer's suggestions on imporving the plugin.

I highly recommend this VST for anyones who is looking to add some fine FM goodness into their prodcution.

At the outset, I would like to make it clear that my sound designing skills are pretty rudimentary at best and I am someone who depends heavily on software synths with readymade sounds (presets) to produce my music. Luigi from Nusofting was generous enough to provide me a free copy of Sinmad VST as I took part in using this synth in KVR OSC challenge.

One of the thing that I really liked about Sinmad was its relatively simple and straight forward user interface (even for a sound deisgn noob like me, could meddle with the default sounds to tweak to my own preference). Another plus of this VST is Sinmad's load on my 3 years old Laptop. It is very light on hogging resources (even with multiple instances, the CPU hit was bare minimum).

IMHO, the presets that comes with Sinmad are more than sufficient to make a decent electronic track. I personally believe Sinmad have great potential for making tracks that are heavy on sinister drone sounds with industrial electronic vibe.

Highly recommend Sinmad for those who are looking to make some slick/menacing DRONE sounds.
