SYLENTH1 ALTERNATIVE · VST3 / AU
A Sylenth1 alternative with layering built in.
Sylenth1 (about €139) is a classic virtual-analog synth, famous for supersaw leads and plucks, with a huge preset scene. MUTANT. covers the same territory, leads, plucks, arps and bass, but stacks four sounds per patch, plays your own one-shots as synths, and adds a cube that mutates the whole thing.
