Angry Bird Synth
Spoiler alert: This synth is AWESOME
If you enjoy creating your own patches, *nothing* beats the Iceworks synths. Period. End of story. I could easily end this review there, but I won’t. This bird (a shrike is indeed a bird) can make some of the angriest sounds imaginable (making red the perfect color for it ) but also can chirp out some really spacy sounds as well. This is unlike any subtractive synth on IOS, in that it mixes a traditional analog filter with a fairly substantial FM section and the (in)famous Iceworks resonator. You can make some pretty cool bass sounds, some atmospheric synth patches that would make the late Richard Wright shed tears of joy, or squelch out some pleasantly harsh sounds that would make the folks in 80s Detroit beg for OCP to take over (if you get the reference, you with the No-Prize)
In short, you NEED this synth …
