"The Best Keeps Getting Better

What's new in version 4?

Almost everything!
We've rebuilt the engine from the ground-up, added more synths, more presets, more effects, more filters, more modulation, a dedicated browser, a second fully-customizable layer for creating hybrid and blended timbres, an all-new smart suggestion engine that helps you quickly find similar sounds, a more powerful arpeggiator/phraser, bus effects, native MPE support, and more!

Real Hardware Sounds There is something unmistakable about the sound of a real hardware synth, from subtle differences between voice circuits and drift to the varied way filters bite into the sound; there's a distinct character and energy. Synth Anthology 4 delivers the authentic and uncompromising hardware sound with all the conveniences of a modern software instrument.

Every piece of hardware represents a unique creative vision, sonic character, innovations, and strengths. Whatever you're looking for, from analog to digital, vintage classic to future classic, you will find it here. Synth Anthology 4 delivers an incredible collection of hardware, every major manufacturer, every type of synthesis, every era, 200 synthesizers in all.

You won't find a more complete collection anywhere else."

The Tiracon

Update: According to Lutz in the comment section, "This is a prototyp made in 1989 from AAC (Automatisierungs- und Anlagenbau Cottbus). It is a keyboard with presetsounds, some effects and a rhytm-machine inside. Its not a Synth !!!"

Update: Via Moogulator of seqencer.de. The Tiracon was not a by Vermona but actually a prototype that never went into production by an east german company. He didn't state the name. If I get it I'll include it. Would be an interesting bit of synth history to know.

Via Steveo on Sonic State's the-gas-station. Title link takes you to the post. Nothing on the Vermona site yet. Click image for a slightly bigger shot.

Update: Another synth, the Tiracon 6 is on the Vermona site.
