Testimonials and Reviews

"Astralis includes an excellent combination of effect options, including Drive, Reverb, Delay, Ring Modulation, and Organic (a further delay based effect). For me, however, the highlights are the Arpeggiator, Modulation Sequencer and Envelope Gate Sequencer. Whether you want disco style arpeggios or Trance style rhythmic gated effects, Astralis has plenty of potential... ...The presets do an excellent job of demonstrating what Astralis is capabale of. There is some truly wonderful stuff amongst this lot, from scary sci-fi pads and soundscapes through to trance-friendly, mod sequenced, analogue style beeps. The presets also demonstrate that Astralis can do both subtlety and in your face aggression." - John Walden (Sound on Sound 08/07)

"Astralis introduces itself as an instrument dedicated to textures creation and other spatial explorations. This allows you to expect the usual bath of flabby reverbs and spongy echoes that this kind of lyricism generally promises. Surprise : such is not the dominant colour. Astralis's deep nature proves to be more muscular than the one of your average "space synth", sometimes with a well-tempered aggressivity, without turning into FSU/destroy mash. Its armada of effects and its many features make it very versatile, but of course, buying it to program standard basses and classical leads will not be the most logical use. On the other hand, if you like to create experimental electro-acoustic oriented sounds, this is the perfect example of a software that will keep you awake at night. And a few minor variations are enough to transform a preset into a very different variant, so once that you will master the software, your patches library is bound to grow quickly." - Tom at Inspira Sons

"Just one more email to say that 'C' is fantastic.... wow!!! I was thinking as I was working with the beta version last night (into the small hours)... this is the most exciting thing to happen to VSTi synths in around 5 years. All credit to you. The sounds are awe inspiring! The 'tweakability' of this synth is like no other synth I have worked with before. It is intuitive, looks great and above all sounds fantastic. No one else has achieved such great results with synth edit. It is the perfect addition for my soundtrack and sound art work." - Relative Pitch by Design
