"reFX, known for their Nexus and Vanguard virtual instruments, are releasing their new synth, Rippler, on Thursday morning.
Rippler combines physical modeling synthesis with more traditional synthesizer elements: additional synth oscillators, familiar modulation setup, effects and arpeggiation. With the exciter modules running through two resonators, you can create realistic acoustic sounds or hyper-realistic sounds when pushing the modules further.
