Quasar 2:
this is the big one, 3 osc mono/poly with a small but very flexible lfo matrix, dual adsr, for filter and amp, and several cross modulation possibilities. this one is capable of some suprising sounds, good for both leads and pads as well as bass.

Stringsynth:
Emulation (no samples here!) of those string synthesizers of the late 70's made famous by ARP and Solina. It features a full ADSR envelope generator, a small effect section with a phaser, a delay and of course the 'ensemble' effect.
"The characteristic -ensemble- sound of those machines of old was not realised by adding expensive oscillators, but by using a (at the time) brand new and relative low cost technology: the BBD chip (Bucket Brigade Device), which was basicly a analog delay line".
Included are 40 patches by Tim Conrardy, UGO, Matthew DeMeritt and Dr Ambient.

Rogue:
Think Ol' Skool Detroit, Roland TB-303, Radioshack Electronics Learning Lab, and a half-dead 9V battery, meets the underground technology from a dark civilization of the distant future. (use your imagination.)
Rogue is comprised of 6 sections:
-Wave Controls: Select between Saw or Square waveforms. Pitch controls consist of octave, coarse, and fine controls. Unison, mix, and tone controls are also available.
-LFO Controls: This is just a standard LFO with various destinations. Rogue's LFO features a delay, that allows you to "fade-in" the LFO's effect.
-Lowpass Filter Controls: A standard low pass filter with resonance.
-Assignable Envelope Controls: The assignable envelope can be routed to nearly any of Rogue's other controls via its dual destination slots. It also features a unique "Step Mode" that creates varying levels of hard stepping through the envelope's range.
-MIDI/Modulation Controls: Allows you to enable the accent control and envelope retrigger, adjust the accent amount, set the bend range, glide time, and modulation amount/source/destination. Features dual destination slots and enable controls.
-Distortion/Master Controls: Rogue's unique distortion controls and final tone/volume controls.
Rogue is a raspy, fried transistor, dropped on the ground a couple of times, bass/lead VSTi based on the slightly overdone subtractive synth concept. But what makes it unique is its ability to fry its own output in a lovingly controlled manner making it so much fun to play, you may not even notice it's just a bunch of saw (or square) waves being sent through a couple of lowpass filters.
