Softube Parallels Is A Dual Wave Scanning Synthesizer Plugin With An Intuitive Interface

March 13, 2019 Synth Anatomy News, Plugins, Software 0

Softube Parallels is a new Synthesizer plugin that offers 2 wave-scanning oscillators (kinda wavetable) with many sources, three analog-modeled filter types, five different modulation sources and high-quality effects. Certainly not completely new, but stands out with its differently designed interface.

Since Softube is especially active with Modular in the Synthesizer area, it’s good to see such a different synth from this company. It will be interesting to see how different the sounds are to a classic wavetable Synthesizer. I will check it out, stay tuned!

Overview

In Stockholm, Sweden, there’s a synth emporium like no other – a store with such vibrancy, such range, such color, that you’d need a dozen eyes and ears to take it all in. And the guy who runs it is no ordinary guy. He’s special, in all the best ways. His imagination fizzes and crackles with delight at the sounds of a million billion sparkling circuit boards.

Out of this hot-bed, this toy-box, this fantasy-factory, Parallels was born; an instrument with not one but two sound sources, each running painstakingly recorded and exquisitely calibrated multi-waveforms from every dream-machine must-have synth you could ever want, and sculpting the resulting sounds with the highest-quality Softube filters, modulators, and effects. If you’re looking for inspiration and sheer sound-quality in your music, this is your golden ticket.
