Rocks My Amadeus

I fell in love with this little synth app on day one of it’s release! Did anyone else notice how it’s a Moog Voyager in disguise? The frequency split does some really cool stereo-affecty-deeliohoo that trips with my mind. Of course, I paid for it! Now that it unbelievably FREE you’re insane if you have yet to add it to your arsenal of sound making kit. It works flawlessly, has a small footprint, and when using multiple instances in Cubasis, GarageBand, Logic Pro, LoopyPro, etc. you can produce a fully polished composition from kick to sizzle, it’s brilliant. Now GO MAKE SOME NOISE! :-)

Great value as free. Presets and other options work in GarageBand but not in Drambo.
