Rarely has the 'you get what you pay for' concept been more wrong than in the case of the absolutely free SQ8L VST instrument from Synthmiester Siegfried Kullmann. If you would have told me 20 years ago that someday an IBM-compatible PC would be able to run a spot-on software-based clone of the SQ80, I would have said 'yeah right, and Weird Al Yankovic will have a number one album and Battlestar Galactica will be an acclaimed series.'"
You can find it here and a couple of vids that mentioned the SQ8L here and here.
via khoral where you'll find a track titled Ambrosia featuring the SQ8L.
I'm just starting to use it, and did a little ambient piece, it seems like a nice, 80's sounding, soft synth...
ReplyDeleteInterface is a bit sparse, but well, those were the days...
Again, no AU version.
ReplyDeleteI've been using it for a while and you can get some really fat sounds out of this! It suprised me how good this can sound!
ReplyDeleteits good for a softsynth.. but i'm still not going to ever sell my SQ-80 =)
ReplyDeleteoriginal is original ;-)
ReplyDeletebut the SQ8L is a good softie
I love this softsynth and used it a lot since I pulled it down three years ago. Cool he's got a better interface for programming.
