Top Reviews
Super Audio Cart 2 – Max Lombardo
“SAC2 is fantastic! I had a chance to use it on some arrangements and cues for the new Super Mario Galaxy movie, and it’s just perfect. I was able to get that 8-bit retro sound straight out of the box, the intuitive GUI and thorough presets made it incredibly easy to get it exactly where I wanted it to be, sound-wise. A life saver, especially on projects with tight deadlines and lots of moving pieces.”
Shreddage series – Josh Mobley
Shreddage changed my life. I was working on a hybrid metal trailer album for what would later be BMG production music. I’m a keyboard player, and I had never had a realistic playable metal guitar plugin because they just didn’t exist.
It… blew my mind man. Suddenly, I could play all of these riffs I had in my head. I completed the album and it did really well. I heard it in everything. Movie trailers, tv shows etc. [Shreddage] was the backbone of virtually every song on that album.

Fredonia Grand Organ – ShadyCicada
“Fredonia Grand Organ sounds absolutely gigantic, and it’s been a perfect outlet for me to convey more intense emotions in my tracks (especially villain and boss battle themes)!”
Artist Testimonial – LMan
“If you’re looking for authentic analogue SID sound for your DAW, make no mistake – this is the only plugin on the market doing it right. Creating patches for inSIDious was a joyride indeed. If you’re familiar with the real SID chip, you’ll feel instantly at home with this soft synth. But even if you’re not, the user interface is straight forward tidy and user-friendly. However, inSIDious offers more than familiar oldschool flavours, this beast is highly usable for creating all kinds of modern, unusual sounds.”

Artist Testimonial – Chris Huelsbeck
“This is a very authentic SID feature and sound emulation!”

Artist Testimonial – Martin Galway
“I can tell you this is the most accurate-sounding SID software synthesizer you will ever hear… I basically believed I was working with a Commodore 64 via some incredible new graphical interface. InSIDious allows me to create gigantic arrangements in perfect sync.”
Martin Galway (Composer, Rastan, Wizball, Arkanoid, Comic Bakery (and many more))
Shreddage 3 Stratus – Beat Magazine
“For either lively rhythm performances or expressive solos, Shreddage 3 Stratus impressively captures the versatile and characteristic sound of the Fender Stratocaster. This instrument is excellent for a variety of genres such as rock, metal, funk, or soul. Though it already sounds good with the integrated effects, it becomes really authentic with a high-quality external amp sim. The appealing interface makes this powerful Kontakt instrument comfortable and intuitive to use.” (6/6 Stars)

Cosmos – Beat Magazine
“You’ll get an energetic collection of atmospheric and pulsating sounds with a futuristic, hybrid style, ideal for underscore and film music. But Cosmos can also work for other genres like chillout and ambient. The sampled material is multifaceted and inspiring, with gentle as well as biting sounds. There’s also a big plus for the straightforward and simple operation.” (5/6 Stars)

Shreddage 3 Precision FREE – Beat Magazine
“Thanks to multiple dynamic layers and round robins, Shreddage 3 Precision FREE produces realistic-sounding licks. Owners of the full version of Kontakt should definitely take this free replica of an electric p-bass with them.” (5.5/6 Stars)

Shreddage 3 Hydra – Beat Magazine
“Whether you’re looking for gripping distorted riffs or screaming solos, Shreddage 3 Hydra is an expressive, nuanced, and playable instrument that feels right at home with metal & rock music. However, it’s not just the distorted and hi-gain tones that are convincing. The clean tones are also excellent.” (6/6 Stars)

Artist Testimonial – Flexstyle
“Cyclops is an excellent one-stop shop for electronic music production. Has everything you need to get going, the sound design is quite good, and I’ve found several patches and sounds that I’ll be bookmarking for future use.”
Flexstyle (EDM Artist & Remixer)
Pedal Steel – KeyboardKraze
“This company puts out a product that is state of the art almost every time. Pedal Steel is an extremely playable pedal steel guitar… As far as the sound quality goes with Pedal Steel, I really believe it’s top-notch. There’s really not much to dislike here, other than the price is a little steep.”
Chris Senner (KeyboardKraze)
Pedal Steel – Sound on Sound
“The sampling itself is of a high quality… and the mixing and processing facilities are very good, so if you’re prepared to work on your playing technique and master the tools provided, this instrument is certainly worth a try.” (4/5 Stars)
