“VST's shouldn't sound this good!!”
“This is BETTER than the hardware!”
“WHAT ARE YOU A WITCH?”
Thirty-plus years as a dedicated hardware elitist — a rental fleet in Denver with the actual synths some of these are built from, an EMAX, an EML-101, more Oberheims than one person should own. Twenty-six albums since 1997. Zero Grammys. I built these because nothing on the market did what I needed, not because I wanted seventeen strangers in a spreadsheet. A lawyer called that "inconsistent." Fine. Here they are.
Modeled to the math, argued about by real ears, running the same live analog inaccuracy underneath everything we make.
Zero presets, one shortcut — hit EZ and you're in love in four seconds.
Right the second you open it. Still teaching you something the 500th time.
Modeled to the differential equation, then checked against real ears.
