While the Titanomachy ultimately ended in the demise of the Titans in the hands of the Olympians, some will argue that a few apparently escaped Zeus' thunderbolt. Could it be possible that in today's time, Titans walk amongst us mere mortals? In all probability, you will say that I'm puffing up nothing but the dust of myth and legend, mere museum pieces, but in the realm of musical tools, giants and titans have emerged. One of these is a gigantic software instrument called Best Service Titan that puts a 40-year legacy of synthesis in one package.

Titan is as big as it is so named as it virtually hosts 200 synthesizers all in one instrument that will make you forget about getting expansion packs. Best Service boasts that Titan is, "the biggest and most extensive Synthesizer Sound Collection of all time," sporting a massive collection of 5,500 multisamples derived from 200 classic analog systems, the biggest and most famous digital synths and workstations of the 80s and 90s as well as today's current and newest synths. Titan could be considered a museum of sound synthesis as it embodies approximately 40 years of history contained within its sound banks. Emphasis of titanic proportions was put into preserving the unique character of each sampled instrument, and all of these sounds have been sampled and looped perfectly to play in the Best Service Engine, Best Service's proprietary sample player based off Independence Pro.

Titan can run on both Mac and Windows XP/Vista environments and comes in standalone, VST, and RTAS formats. At a price of 249.00 EUR (approximately 347.87 USD), Best Service Titan puts under your fingers over 40 years of synthesizer history. Best Service is now accepting orders and will begin shipping Titan starting July 15, 2009.
