Leslie Sanford Cobalt VSTi v1.0.3

Cobalt is a VSTi software synthesizer inspired by many of the digital

synthesizers from the 1980s. 

In the early 80s as digital technology became cheaper, many manufacturers

designed synthesizers that combined earlier analog technology with newer

digital technology. These were known as hybrid synthesizers. Well-known

hybrid synthesizers are the Korg DW8000 and DW6000, the Ensoniq ESQ-1, and

the Kawai K3.

In analog/digital hybrid synthesizers, the oscillators responsible for

generating waveforms are digital while the filter section remains analog.

This approach freed designers to use any kind of waveform; they were no

longer restricted to traditional analog waveforms such as sawtooth,

triangle, and pulse. However, by using an analog filter, these synthesizers

retained the warmth earlier analog synthesizers were known for.

Though Cobalt is a purely digital synthesizer, its overall architecture

is very much like those early hybrid synthesizers. It features a wide

selection of waveforms, most of which were resynthesized from actual hybrid

synthesizers, while providing traditional subtractive synthesis

capabilities for sculpting its sound.



Key Features

* GUI created by grymmjack.

* 26 waveforms - many of which were resynthesized from 80s hybrid
synths.

* Flexible modulation routes.

* Apply PWM to any waveform.

* LFO delay.

* Polyphonic Portamento.

* Key tracked envelopes.

* Rich overdrive effect based on a custom algorithm.

* Stereo delay effect with MIDI synchable delay times.

* Easy to use.



Cobalt can sound at times warm and rich while at other times cold and

stark. From gentle pads to screaming leads, Cobalt's gotcha covered.
