As reviewed in Gearwire Crosstalk 019 here we present Krakli Cygnus-SF in all it's glory. Cygnus was originally a collaboration between synth designer Ian Webster and sound designer Tim Conrardy. Now, spurred on by an off the cuff suggestion by Gearwire's own Dan Agosto, Ian has taken his classic free VST and given it new life by adding 3 new sampling oscillators that accept the sf2 format. The integrated mix controls allow you to crossfade between each of the standard oscillators and the soundfont playback ones discreetly. All of the soundfont players have individual control over level, mix, and pitch. Finally, everything is summed into the Cygnus effects line. We here at Gearwire all agree that the soundfont version of Cygnus makes the ultimate space synth the PENultimate space synth. Thanks to Ian and Tim for their great showing in the vast world of free VSTi.
