Believe this is planning permission to build a new Kidney Dialysis unit and is part of the Pennine Acute Trust and not Oldham Athletic - but I may be wrong.

OLDHAM Rugby League Club are asking fans to pitch in and support a sponsorship scheme with the potential to raise £56,700 towards ground development work at Whitebank.
Fans can sponsor one or more one-metre squares of the pitch for £10 per square and money raised will go into a specific ground-development account to be used exclusively for that purpose.
The pitch can be divided into 5,670 squares of those dimensions.
Supporters will receive a certificate for each square they sponsor and will be entered on a roll of honour to be published in each match-day programme next season.
Despite delays caused by circumstances outside the club's control, Roughyeds are pressing ahead with plans for a new stand on one side of the ground, terracing on the other, extra turnstiles and new toilet and refreshment facilities.
They received a major boost last month when the local planning authority assured the club in writing that the scheme will not require Environmental Impact Assessment screening, thus saving the club a lot of work, time and expense.
In a letter to season-ticket holders and an upbeat message to rank-and-file supporters, chairman Chris Hamilton said the club needed to raise as much money as it could for ground improvements.
He added: "This is a groundshare scheme in which sharing is caring. It's your club, your ground. You can play a massive part in this. Help us to take Whitebank forward and to develop a stadium we can all be proud to call home.
"A Certificate of Sponsorship for a piece of the Whitebank pitch, for example, would make a great Christmas present for the Oldham fan in your family or the person who has 'everything'.
"This would be something different and the recipient would be part of the history of Whitebank and its development as a rugby league stadium."
If we are 'pressing ahead' with the plans, when are they going to be submitted? Why would any right minded people pay money into a fund with no assurance that planning permission will be granted? What assurances are there that this money will be ringfenced for ground development (or are we supposed to accept CH's word for it)? How much funding is needed for the project and each phase? Has the club secured an RFL grant? Has it applied? Is the club working with the Trust on a ground development fund?

Who in their right mind would put money into a lost cause,especially into a club that has nothing,this is just begging on a grander scale.What a ludicrous scheme this is,and how could anyone be sure that the money they give will be used for what it should be used for.Does C H think people will come flocking to Whitebank with bags full of money or cheque books open no way not in these hard times these sort of things have been tried before and just die out,I am not being negative but this is a loser before it starts.Not gaining promotion last year will have a damaging effect on the club in so many ways the main one being income.I really hope I am wrong but nobody except the extreme die hards will have anything to do with this so called fund raiser.
Have to agree with every word roughyed. . . . . 13 years too late ............

No nothing on today's agenda. Thought the picture of Regenda using local people doing the clearance work was promising. Especially the concrete blocks in view that they were standing on.
had a gander at the next planning minutes for the 16th January on line and there doesnt appear to be anything whitebank related. Unless i have totally missed something.

This just leaves the question.... why?
Pokemon? :S
Hehe. Looking good so far though.
I have been fiddling around with sketchup in my free time lately, and I thought I'd post my progress on a recent project.
I am enjoying working in 3d, but sketchup feels pretty basic--I think I might nab the trial for Zbrush to attempt the sculpting of the actual pokemon. I have no experience doing 3d work, but I am always open for trying something new!
Still doing the actual layouts, so please forgive the rough looking textures...
This just leaves the question.... why?

There appears to be an age "gap" in my experience! Pokemon is another one of those areas where I must have been on some other planet somewhere! Just call me old.
On the subject of 3D, well, I was "sold" a while ago, chose POVray and never really tried anything else. I've looked at some of the tools but I don't feel qualified to comment all that much - but I guess I will !
What I can say is that most tools seem to be GUI based and that can be frustrating since there is that additional "layer" between you, the creator, and the virtual "thing" you are creating. I'm an old electronics engineer and I learned stuff when chips were things in a box. I was happy converting to ABEL to write logic in boulean code and managed the leapfrog to VHDL where the software people decided to make it all "look like" software but when they started plunking a GUI on top I started to lose my "feeling" of control. There's places where a GUI is indispendisble and the VHDL GUI I used had a couple of bits I used but the real design stuff I did "by hand" as it were.
POVray being a language allows you to model with the best feeling for "control" that I know of, there may be others. Somebody produced a GUI or two for it, one was Moray and I tried that and hated it. When I make a box I know precisely where it is and I can't accidently select it and move it on a screen, I know when I group things that I haven't missed something and that my textures inside are exactly as I wrote it. GUI progs can do all the same things but my level of "confidence" is much lower. Again, just call me old!
Being a language rather than a screen for pushing shapes around on means that you can write reasonably complex trigonometric functions, have randomness, and conditional loops and the like. Your crowd in the stands could be randomly generated little figures in a while loop allowing them all to be in different positions and actions. I've been modelling my parents' house (on and off) and I could have done the roof slopes as a single flat surface with a "normal" and a bitmap texture but I coded it with individual roof tiles. The house is old and the tiles are all a bit wonky and differing shades - if I worked at it I could randomly place randomly chipped/broken tiles in the mix, it would just be a few more lines of code...
Sketchup looks easy (and I'm guessing it has complexities) but when I've deconstructed some I was a tad dissapointed with the level of texturing seen, maybe that was just the application they were made for... hrm.
Ultimately you have to look at the results of the product and decide if that's what you want to create. By default, Sketchup seems to be used usually with a line around all the edges, POV doesn't do that (and I'm not sure it can, easily) - on the other hand POV can produce brilliantly realistic effects for very little work (by you).
Damn! I sound like a salesman! Sadly there's no commission for a free product!!
"I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man"
My Finished Stuff ............. Some of my 3D Stuff (POVRay)
I really enjoyed reading that! I would like to start learning more about 3d modeling in my free time. I was thinking about asking about 3d programs, but it looks like I didn't have to.
I actually know absolutely nothing about programming, so maybe jumping into POVray would be premature. I am interested in fiddling with zbrush (like I said) and that feels like a huge undertaking at the moment. It has taken me maybe three years to feel like I "know" photoshop, and I imagine 3d programs will be far more complex. I like Sketchup because I basically felt like I was up and running in about five minutes. So far none of the other 3d programs have felt the same--thousands of buttons, all of them unfamiliar. I'm sure I'll start branching out each time I hit a wall of 'some thing I really want to do but can't' in any particular program. I've hit that in sketchup, since I can't effectively sculpt people or animals, or add light sources. I keep finding myself wishing I'd gone to school for these things!
Oh well, there is always more to learn, so at least I'll never get bored.
Slapped on a background and added some stadium lightning.
Don't let me lead you astray but POV isn't really "software" in a traditional sense - not a "serious" language like C or the like. I know, I'm still wrestling with learning Python and that's supposed to be easy!
POVRay is more like "make a box this by this by this...size, rotate it thus, move it over there and paint it that colour" but all in text.
box{ < -1, -2, -1>, < 1, 2, 1> rotate 30*y translate < 100, 50, 24> pigment {Pink} }
done! The rest is just "other shapes" and a few BASIC style commands and functions. As you progress you start playing with the more esoteric bits
Animals and people, well, yah, POV doesn't do that implicitly either. I've bought Poser 8 but only really played with it a little. Looking at the Bryce people you could do well to get DAZ Studio which looks rather free at the moment. I loaded it all but I've not played with any of it yet. There's just SO much out there!
if you ever feel like POVving it, here's a starter file with a basic workshop environment to play with if you want?
It's a zip file just to get it past the uploader
One thing though. Keep an eye on import/export options available. Most of the progs out there can share "produce" in some form or other but POV is a tad "selfish" - it doesn't export much but can import a fair amount (meshes basically).
I've rambled on again.
Lights, yes, your arena seems to have lost its shadows!

The stadium is looking good though and it does give the idea of being there what with the bright lights and the huge crowd so nice job on that even if it is pokemon.
PS. FYI, Jim Butcher's "Codex Alera" was based on Pokemon and the lost Roman Legion for those of you who didn't know. It's only about the best series I think I've ever read.

S'OK, I've finished now!
So, Pokemon, that's the little blobby monster things you collect or something, yes?
After that it all gets a tad fuzzy, so the "Why?" question was rather more swamped by the "What the...?" - it's something of a leap from blobby monsters to an arena with people on sticks and a giant looking pool table and I was loath to exhibit further ignorance!
"I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man"
My Finished Stuff ............. Some of my 3D Stuff (POVRay)
Pokemon is far more intense than you might think. It is a world thick with wild animals that can do everything from shooting fire or causing earthquakes to controlling your mind. Add to this the fact that the people in the pokemon world never seemed to have never really discovered handheld weaponry. So, basically, whether you're walking through the neighborhood forest preserve or engaging in a political/religious ideological disagreements with a militant group bent on global unification under one fascist banner (team rocket), it is going to involve viscous dogfights between your subdued beasts and theirs--these beasts can be dragons, reanimated fossils, ghosts, just about anything. Anyhow, these dogfights are so ubiquitous that it has become a popular spectator sport. It is truly a terrifying and brutal setting.
Anyhow, I turned the shadows off since being surrounded by giant floodlights would produce some shadow effects that sketchup is not equipped to produce. I'll have to add them on myself in PS after I finish up the last of the modelling.
Thanks again for the advice, Crayons. And I might have to check out that series if it is as good as you say, Jax.

Lyman has recreated the legendary sight that the Lyman Gun Sight Company was founded on in 1878. Like the original, the #2 is constructed of blued steel and features height index marks on the aperture post, with maximum elevation of .800" for long range shooting. The #2 Tang Sight's greater sight radius means an inherent increase in accuracy. The #2 Tang Sight includes both a .093 diameter quick sighting hunting aperture and a .040 diameter Large Disk Target Aperture. Also included is a replacement rear stock screw and front tang screw. This Marlin version features a special adapter which allows mounting on the tang without damaging the serial number. Please Note: All Marlin lever actions will need to be drilled and tapped before mounting. This sight will not work on new rifles with a tang safety.

Suprapubic Catheter Care
Topic Overview
What is a suprapubic catheter?
A suprapubic catheter is a thin, sterile tube used to drain urine from your bladder when you cannot urinate. This type of catheter is used if you aren't able to use a catheter that is inserted into the urethra. The urethra carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
Your doctor inserts the catheter into the bladder through a cut (incision) in your lower belly, just above the pubic bone.
When the catheter is in the bladder, a small balloon is inflated to keep the catheter in place.
The urine drains from the bladder into a bag that is usually attached to the thigh. Sometimes the catheter tube has a valve that lets you drain the urine into the toilet or other container.
You may need this type of catheter if you have nerve damage or if you have problems with your bladder or urethra.
How long you have the catheter depends on why you have it. Many people need it for long periods of time.
Having a catheter for a long time increases the risk of getting a urinary tract infection. Home care focuses on preventing infection.
How do you care for the catheter?
- Always wash your hands with soap and water before and after handling your catheter.
- Make sure that the catheter tubing does not get twisted or kinked, and that urine is flowing out of the catheter into the urine collection bag.
- Keep the urine collection bag below the level of your bladder.
- Make sure that the urine collection bag does not drag and pull on the catheter.
- You can shower with your catheter and urine collection bag in place unless you have been told not to.
- Clean the bag every day after removing it from the catheter. Use another container while you clean the bag. To clean the bag, fill it with 2 parts vinegar to 3 parts water and let it stand for 20 minutes. Then empty it out, and let it air-dry.
How do you care for your incision?
Clean the area around the catheter with soap and water once a day.
How do you empty the drainage bag?
Empty the drainage bag when it is full or at least every 8 hours.
- Wash your hands with soap and water. If you are emptying another person's collection bag, you may wish to wear disposable gloves.
- Remove the drain spout from its sleeve at the bottom of the collection bag. Open the valve on the spout.
- Let the urine flow out of the bag and into the toilet or a container. Do not let the tubing or drain spout touch anything.
- After you empty the bag, wipe off any liquid on the end of the drain spout. Close the valve and put the drain spout back into its sleeve at the bottom of the collection bag.
- Wash your hands again with soap and water.
How do you replace your catheter?
Your catheter may have to be replaced every 4 to 6 weeks. A caregiver may do this for you.
You may be given a catheter kit that has the supplies you need. If you have not received a kit, ask your doctor what you'll need. Some of the things you'll need include a new catheter, syringes, sterile fluid, sterile medical gloves, skin cleaning supplies, and lubricant.
Here are general instructions for replacing the catheter. Your doctor, nurse, or home health care worker may give you more specific instructions.
Removing the catheter
- Wash your hands with soap and water, and put on sterile gloves.
- Fill a syringe with the fluid provided in the catheter kit.
- If there is a dressing on the insertion site, remove it. Clean the area around the catheter with the supplies from the catheter kit.
- Use another syringe to take out the water from the catheter balloon.
- Hold the catheter close to where it goes into your belly. Gently pull the catheter up and away from you until it comes out.
Putting a new catheter in
Don't wait to put in the new catheter. If you wait, the opening can close.
- Wash your hands and put on a new pair of sterile gloves.
- Lubricate the catheter tip and push it through the opening in your belly. Push it in as far as the other catheter was placed.
- When the catheter is in place, urine should begin to flow through it. This may take a few minutes.
- Inflate the balloon using the first syringe, which you filled with fluid from the kit.
When should you call for help?
Call your doctor now or seek immediate medical care if:
- Your catheter becomes blocked and urine does not collect in the drainage bag.
- Your catheter leaks.
- You have blood or pus in your urine.
- You have pain in your back just below your rib cage. This is called flank pain.
- You have a fever, chills, or body aches.
- You have groin or belly pain.
- Your urine is cloudy or smells bad.
- You have pain, increasing redness, or bleeding around the catheter.
- You have swelling around the catheter or in your belly.

Last year we featured a nursery with an over-sized abacus above the changing area. And I haven't been able to get that abacus out of my mind since. It's fantastic!
Making your own abacus gives you the opportunity to customize the colors to match your decor and you can make one for at least half the price of the original CB2 version.
Jenny {and her husband Derek} over at Anything Pretty recently made an abacus for their nursery and share a step-by-step tutorial for how you can make one.
And they included some pretty nifty features too!
Their abacus frame is thicker so it can be screwed directly into the wall for extra safety and they made adjustments so that the beads can be switched out {in case they ever want to change the color palette}.
Full details at Anything Pretty.

As rabid a film watcher as I am, time restrictions will forever thwart my capacity to plow through KPL's stellar movie collection but here is an abbreviated list of some of my favorite films from KPL's collection, watched over the past year. While we add new releases each week, don't forget about the diversified depth of our collection. We can't purchase every movie that is requested or inquired about but we can work toward the goal of having most titles for most of our patrons, most of the time. Upstream Color: With the exception of the increasingly abstract, fragmented and non-linear narratives of Terrence Malick, there have been few notable American films over the past decade or so that have attempted to remake the kind of Eurocentric, anti-classical/realist/romantic films of the 1960's and 70's (think: Godard, Bresson, Tarr, Tarkovsky, Resnais, Warhol, Antonioni). With Upstream Color, a sort of Hiroshima Mon Amour for our contemporary times, one hopes that young filmmakers will continue to take the value of abstraction seriously, reimagining it in new and thoughtful ways. Hedwig and the Angry Inch: A film that came out (pun intended) way ahead of its time. It's kind of an absurdist musical that is in-your-face bonkers, but bonkers in the most vital, transgressive and beautifully rebellious way. A postmodern Hair. Young Adult: Charlize Theron gives a great performance as an unraveled mess of a person that attempts to transition from a life of boredom and narcissism toward a more complete, self-aware state where the adjective 'young' can finally wither away. Sullivan's Travels: I checked this film out because the great American director Preston Sturges' name kept popping up in literature on director/writer Wes Anderson (a favorite of mine). This well-written and acted screwball comedy hits the mark and lives up to its acclaim as one of the 1940's best films. My Dinner with Andre: A film like few others--this conventions-busting mixture of fiction and nonfiction, storytelling and improvised riffing will either bore you into slumber or thrill you with its originality. We almost forget, due to the strong writing, that the great French autuer Louis Malle was its director. Insignificance: I'm still not sure I 'get' this peculiar film but it was certainly compelling, the way in which a film can unfold as both an irritant and a puzzling enigma. Hiroshima Mon Amour: Before I saw this Alain Resnais masterpiece about memory, love and loss, I considered Harold and Maude my favorite film. Now it's number two. 12 Angry Men: Watch this fictional, court room drama and then the documentary The Central Park Five. The very notion of facts, evidence, justice and human objectivity are brilliantly rendered as a hollow collection of outdated concepts with tragic application. Hunger: Not to be mistaken with Steve McQueen's first film about the imprisonment of IRA soldiers of the same name but rather the nimble and haunting adaptation of the classic, existential novella by Danish writer Knut Hamsun. Summer with Monika: Arguably, my favorite film of Bergman's but nowhere near his best. That distinction belongs to his magnum opus Scenes from a Marriage, a film that should only be approached by the single and the happily married couple. Rules of the Game: My goal for movie watching this year was to view a handful of those classics considered important to the historical development of the art form according to the Sight and Sound Magazine's list of 250 Greatest Films; a list created every ten years by an esteemed cadre of critics. Renoir's masterpiece (rated at No. 4) is there for a reason and its influence can be seen in almost every film made since 1939 that skewers the vacuity of the rich and clueless. La Jetee/Sans Soleil: Made by maverick film essayist Chris Marker, these two films are quite distinct from one another in both content and style. Both represent the best in avant-garde, envelope-pushing cinema that emerged parallel with the various manifestations of the European New Wave movement. Picnic at Hanging Rock: This 70's cult classic by Peter Weir still holds up as a truly original film that tackles the subject of loss, regret and repressed longing, all of which are tied to a mystery that leaves an Australian women's school in shock and confusion. Other notable films: L' Avventura, Stroszek, Bringing Up Baby, Amarcord, The Killing, Neighboring Sounds, Damnation, The Lives of Others, Magnificent Ambersons, Harvey, Pat and Mike, The Third Man, Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, The Searchers, Elevator to the Gallows, As I Lay Dying, Cleo from 5 to 7, Frances Ha, The Silence, Winter Light, Cries and Whispers, Blast of Silence, Through a Glass Darkly, Argo, Shallow Grave, Band of Outsiders, Fanny and Alexander, Mud, Harry and Tonto, Chasing Ice, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

SPECT Image of the HeartSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a nuclear medicine imaging test. It is a type of positron emission tomography, also called a PET scan.
Doctors use SPECT to:
- Diagnose a person who has symptoms of heart disease.
- Assess your risk of heart attack .
- Find damaged heart tissue after a heart attack.
When used to detect whether a heart attack is occurring or may occur, SPECT locates areas of the heart muscle that have inadequate blood flow compared with areas that have normal flow. Inadequate blood flow means that coronary arteries are blocked and a heart attack is occurring. SPECT can also assess how bad the blood flow blockage is.
It is a noninvasive imaging scan that exposes you to radiation. For this test, your doctor injects a tiny amount of radioactive tracers through a vein in your arm. After the radioactive tracer is injected, a camera that can detect the radiation emitted by these tracers rotates around you. This creates images of your heart from different angles. Then, computer graphics are used to create three-dimensional images of your heart.
If your SPECT test is abnormal, you are considered at high risk of a heart attack.
For more information about PET scans, see Positron Emission Tomography (PET Scan).

- Abstract
- The amount of information available on the internet has grown unabated over the years. With internet users using web search systems as a starting point into the internet, understanding the tasks involved in a web search is important to designing appropriate interfaces. This paper investigates existing studies on search interfaces. It identifies important task interactions and reports key points that need to be considered in interface design. In defining a design guide for web search interfaces, it argues the need to address specific key points in order to promote a positive user search experience with the potential to achieve better search results.

Plugin perfection
When Steinberg gave us Neon, the very first VST instrument, as part of the Cubase 3.7 update back in 1999, little did we know quite how transformative the arrival of the plugin synth would be.
Sure, we thought the idea had legs, but we couldn't have predicted how quickly and totally the concept of DAW-friendly software sound makers would come to dominate the music production landscape.
In the intervening 16 years we've seen numerous recreations of classic synths, new instrument designs that tip their hats to the past but take advantage of the additional benefits that software has to offer, and radical, forward-thinking plugins that break new sonic ground. What's more, some of these releases have become classics in their own right.
You'll find all of these virtual instrument flavours in our 2015 round-up of the best VST/AU plugin synths in the world today. The running order was decided by your votes (of which there were thousands - thanks for that), and long-time followers of our annual poll will be intrigued to learn that we have a new number 1.
We've included our own star ratings and links to the full reviews of the synths that have made it into our prestigious list, too.
A couple of things to bear in mind before we dive in: we're dealing with synths only here (so you won't find any drum machines or samplers) and only paid-for instruments are included. If you're looking for freebies, check out our guide to 12 of the best free VST/AU plugin synths.
With that, let the Kanye-endorsed countdown begin...
Wolfgang Palm PPG WaveMapper 2
WaveMapper 2 is a wavetable synth that bears a number of similarities to its sibling, WaveGenerator, including the core architecture of three oscillators, three noise generators, four LFOs, a 24dB/octave low-pass filter, the Arptor step sequencer, a dual-output amplifier, selective preset element loading, and 13 envelopes for control of pitch, waveform, filter, noise, gain, panning and ring modulation.
However, while WaveGenerator's focus is on the creation and editing of waves within its 256- wave wavetable, WaveMapper's remit is more fun, its two main features being the Sound Map and Wave Map.
The Wave Map is WaveMapper 2's engine room (offering detailed access to the Oscillator source waves) but it's the Sound Map (a 32-field grid that holds up to 31 user-selectable presets and a 'Base' preset) that gets the creative juices flowing.
WaveMapper 2 is probably Wolfgang Palm's best software synth yet. It's immensely powerful, hugely enjoyable to use and truly unique.
Madrona Labs Kaivo
Kaivo is ostensibly a physical modelling instrument, but with a major twist in that its exciter module is a full-on granular synth - the Granulator.
Literally all of the controls in the Granulator, Gate, Resonator and Body sections can be modulated. Indeed, at every operational turn, another endless avenue of stretching, warping, animating sound design possibilities reveals itself.
Kaivo can do a great line in 'realistic' physical modelling, but what it really excels at is the mad, textural stuff: twisted pads, elemental ambiences, bonkers impacts, terrifying Texas Chainsaw metallics, the distant sound of space...
This is an instrument that's truly inspiring to use, sounds wonderful and does things that no other synth can.
LinPlug Spectral
Spectral isn't an iZotope Iris-style spectral synth, but instead one built on an additive architecture, fronted by a subtractive interface, making it easy to use but capable of potentially more interesting sounds than a virtual analogue.
A Spectral patch starts with four oscillator sections, each with its own filter and amp/filter envelopes. Further modulation is on tap in the shape of three more envelopes and five LFOs, assignable in the modulation matrix.
There are effects, too, and Spectral comes with a library of over 850 presets divided up into a broad set of categories. The overarching flavour is very crisp and upfront - bouncy bass sounds, bell-like pads and keys, and even a serviceable set of synthetic drums. However, the synth is most at home producing evolving and textural sounds
It won't be for everyone, but if the idea of hand-designing unique textures right down to the raw oscillator level appeals, with its friendly interface, easy learning curve and superb, characterful sound, Spectral could well be the synth for you.
READ: LinPlug Spectral review
Dimitry Sches Diversion
Diversion's feature list is something of a synth programmer's wet dream. It all begins with the four oscillators, and these are routed through twin buses that sport some of the most comprehensive multimode filters we've ever seen
Diversion's extended feature-set enables the sound designer to program far more detail into the patches than in the average synth, and you also get effects, an arpeggiator and a trance gate to get the creative chi flowing.
In summary, Diversion is definitely one of the best synths going for sound quality, usability and features, although you shouldn't expect your DAW to run more than a few instances of it in real-time.
READ: Dimitry Sches Diversion
Tone2 Nemesis
With Nemesis, Tone2 claims to have invented a new form of FM synthesis in the shape of 'NeoFM'. The general thrust of this is a combination of FM/PM (Phase Modulation) synthesis, but presented in a more flexible way than has been seen before, and with a more approachable interface.
Nemesis centres on a twin-oscillator architecture, with two waveforms per oscillator. Within each oscillator, the waveforms are suitably labelled Modulator (M) and Carrier (C), but they aren't limited to sine waves, as is the case with the most basic FM synths.
The 1000+ presets have a bias towards contemporary and progressive club sounds, including tons of arps and sequences. Some of the patches are a little too processed, but underlying that is a very clean and upfront sound, and a definite sensation of your ears being plugged straight into the oscillators - in a good way!
Nemesis is an impressive feat of soft synth engineering, offering enough depth to keep serious tweakers happy and good accessibility for everyone else.
READ: Tone2 Nemesis review
Cableguys Curve 2
Curve is a subtractive synthesiser, but not specifically an analogue one. Yes, it can do analogue, and very well indeed, but its three oscillators aren't limited to the usual analogue waveforms. Instead, custom waves can be created by dragging (up to 40) points around in the main display to create both straight lines and curves.
Curve 2 introduced a new look for the synth, as well as a good number of new features and a ton of new sounds. It's much more flexible than its predecessor, and one that sounds nothing short of magnificent. It's also splendidly easy to use and endlessly versatile, with a truly knock-out preset library.
READ: Cableguys Curve 2 review
AAS Ultra Analog VA-2
Ultra Analog's architecture is based on twin signal paths - two oscillators, two filters, two VCAs... you get the picture. Basic controls are always visible for the oscillators, while the two filter/LFO/VCA paths are selected using the big tabs in the middle.
We had to wait some seven years for version two of this synth, and its core hasn't really changed. But then, adding a swathe of new features would diminish one of Ultra Analog's selling points: its ease of use.
Is it worth the asking price? Just about, yes, although competition is fierce. VA-2's simplicity and presets make it appealing to less seasoned synthesists, though, while its sound quality will draw in the diehards.

Steinberg Padshop Pro
The idea behind Padshop Pro is that sounds can be chopped into 'grains', the playback of which can be manipulated in various ways.
Padshop Pro utterly transforms samples, but it's not all about out-there sound design. The included string patches demonstrate that it can also be used to add subtle movement to otherwise static samples, while a grand piano sound is subjected to an echoing Eno-esque ambience. You can also import your own samples.
With a decent selection of effects, Padshop Pro makes granular synthesis easy and fun.
Togu Audio Line TAL-BassLine 101
The name Roland isn't mentioned anywhere on Togu Audio Line's website, but both the name and shape of its new TAL-BassLine-101 plugin (VST/AU) blatantly recall the ever-popular SH-101.
TAL-Bassline-101 appears only slightly more complex than the original - mainly because you can actually see what's going on in the sequencer/arpeggiator section. Also, as you'd expect, TAL-BassLine-101 is polyphonic, although it can also operate in mono mode if you want it to.
The sound of TAL-BassLine-101 is staggeringly similar to that of the SH-101. Even the basic default patch left us with eyes wide and mouths agape. We've used plenty of SH-101s in our time, both real and virtual, but this baby truly nails it.
XILS-Lab XILS 4
The VCS 4 was a prototype synth from EMS which combined two VCS3s in one unit (with additional interconnectivity) and the bonus of a 256-step digital sequencer.
XILS 4 is an emulation: the two VCS3s are displayed side by side in the plugin window. Each synth has six oscillators grouped in three pairs named Osc 1-3, and features the classic pin matrix for routing.
There's no denying that XILS4 is big and complicated, presenting you with a huge number of possibilities and lots to get to grips with. However, it sounds fabulous, and the time spent learning its subtleties will be well spent..
READ: XILS-Lab XILS 4 review
Sonic Charge Synplant
If a prize was being awarded for the most unusual looking soft synth on the market, Synplant might very well win it. Coming from the man behind Reason's Malström, it enables you to 'grow' sounds by dragging 'branches' from a seed that sits in the centre of the interface, and these branches can then be used as starting points themselves.
Sound design in Synplant is an organic experience in every sense of the word, though you can get more techy in the genome panel. The synth can produce a wide range of tones, and is a great alternative to have when your main instrument(s) isn't inspiring you.
REVIEW: Sonic Charge Synplant review
GForce Minimonsta
When you're emulating a classic synth, you've got two choices. You can either create a totally authentic version that mirrors the original exactly, or throw caution to the wind - and risk alienating the purists - by adding some new features of your own devising.
With Minimonsta, GForce took the second option. At its heart, it's a Minimoog, but if you activate Monsta mode, it becomes possible to assign an LFO to practically any parameter. And thanks to Ohm Force's Melohman technology, you can morph between up to 12 patches in a Meta-Patch.
So, it's a vintage sound married to the versatility of contemporary software: a winning combination.

Plugin Boutique VirtualCZ
Back in the mid-80s, analogue synths were viewed as outdated and expensive, with digital technology finding favour as the next big thing. The Yamaha DX7 was the undisputed king of this pre-workstation era, but Casio also found success with its CZ range of synths.
Based on phase distortion synthesis, VirtualCZ features two sine oscillators, called Lines, which are shaped using two alternating waveforms.
Further harmonic interest can be introduced with the Ring and Noise Modulation modes. There's also a simple one-knob Chorus effect, a dedicated vibrato panel and various other modulation and tuning options including adjustable pitchbend range.
VirtualCZ does a great job of emulating Casio's flagship CZ-1 phase distortion synth, while those unfamiliar with it will find plenty of interest in its characteristic squelchy basses, weird digital effects and soft, nostalgic plucks.
GForce ImpOSCar 2
GForce Software released impOSCar, a software emulation of the Oxford Synthyesizer Company's OSCar, in 2003. It was true to the original, but with the addition of polyphony and an effects section.
Thanks to a combination of feedback from impOSCar users and expert ideas of its own, GForce has come up with a logical evolution in impOSCar 2. Sonically, this is a step up from the original, and offers a massive unison mode, a great patch library and a new Aux Mod section.
This all adds up to a synth that's not just a straight emulation, but a highly impressive instrument in its own right.

Steinberg Retrologue
Included with Cubase 6.5 and also available on its own as a plugin, Retrologue is a virtual analogue synth that holds no major surprises but sounds superb.
Two oscillators (with up to eight unison voices each, PWM, hard sync and cross-modulation options) plus noise and a sub feed into a 12-mode resonant filter with onboard distortion. Two envelopes and a pair of LFOs shake the basic sound up and delay and chorus/flanger effects bring some polish.
Best of all, Retrologue sounds incredible - every bit as good as many synths costing three times as much. Basses bounce, leads scream and pads scintillate.
MeldaProduction MPowerSynth
MPowerSynth is a three-oscillator instrument (VST/VST3/AU) with a noise generator, two filters and effects. Simple enough on paper, but in typical Melda style, this one goes way beyond the basics.
At its core are three ultra-flexible aliasing-free oscillators, each operable in one of two modes: Normal or Harmonics.
Despite a rather uninspiring GUI, MPowerSynth definitely lives up to its confident name. Our only major criticism is that the CPU hit can easily head skyward as patches get complex, but other than that, this is an awesomely powerful, great-sounding synth that everyone needs to hear and try.
Waves Element
Element is, at its most fundamental level, a two-oscillator subtractive synth. However, there's also a sub-oscillator available and an independent noise generator, so you won't have to give up either oscillator to add a little whoosh and weight to your patches.
As you'd expect, you'll also find a filter, modulation sources and an assortment of effects, and Waves has done a good job in providing a simple, one-screen interface with plenty of thoughtful touches.
It's hardly revolutionary, but Element is an excellent workaday synth (albeit quite an expensive one) that's easy to use and sounds utterly authentic, with a phat, rounded analogue tone.

Spectrasonics Trilian
This is the successor to Trilogy - the bass instrument that was released in 2003 - and the second product (after Omnisphere) to be powered by Spectrasonics' Steam engine.
The 34GB library contains acoustic and electronic bass samples, and patches are built from one or two layers (up to eight patches can be layered together to create a multi). A serious number of processing options are onboard, though the simple interface means that you never feel overwhelmed.
If you own Trilian, it's hard to imagine that you'll ever need to look anywhere else for your bass sounds, and that's got to go down as a high recommendation.

Togu Audio Line TAL-U-NO-LX
TAL-U-NO-LX is a beefed up variation on TAL's excellent (and free) TAL-U-NO-62, a lovingly realised clone of Roland's Juno-60. It's bigger, using up a lot more screen real estate and thus making it much easier to tweak, especially on the fly.
More importantly, though, the code has been reworked from the ground up and makes use of a zero-feedback delay filter design that makes this new version sound a lot more realistic.
TAL-U-NO-LX stays quite faithful to the spirit of the original Juno series and the sound is very good indeed. It has that Roland snap and spike, belting out sounds to set your fillings rattling.
FXpansion DCAM: Synth Squad
It took FXpansion a surprisingly long time to get into the commercial soft synth market, but when it finally did, it was with a collection of three instruments (plus a shell that enables you to layer them up, add effects and more).
The instruments in question are Strobe (an analogue-style subtractive model), Amber (for creating string machine sounds) and Cypher (a versatile beast that specialises in audio-rate modulation).
DCAM is full of nice touches - there's a particularly impressive modulation system -and, taken as a whole, can produce a wide range of awesome sounds. It can be complex, but get to know it and you'll have a synth friend for life.

FabFilter Twin 2
FabFilter Twin 2 sports three oscillators, four filters with a variety of modes, and a clever modulation routing system that gives you plenty of creative possibilities. This is all packed into a slick interface that makes the synth easy to use.
That said, Twin 2 is still relatively light on features in comparison to some of its rivals. However, what it lacks in breadth, it makes up for in depth. It's great fun to program and play, and in terms of pure sonic beef, it even gives Sylenth1 a run for its money.

u-he ACE
So called because it allows you to put Any Cable Anywhere, ACE is a semi-modular synth that doesn't differentiate between audio signals and modulation sources. This gives you an enormous amount of flexibility when it comes to patch creation although, because ACE's modules are pre-routed in a standard configuration, it's also usable before you start playing with the cables.
ACE isn't quite as accessible as u-he might claim - and it imposes a heavy CPU hit - but it's still a winner. Why? Because it sounds gloriously analogue and, at just €69, comes at a fantastic price.
READ: u-he ACE review
Tone2 Electra2
Electra2 is the second generation of Tone2's ElectraX, a synthesiser workstation comprising four layers (each one effectively a whole synth in itself), designed to deliver synth sounds of pretty much every conceivable kind.
New features include an expanded library (1180 presets) plus a full preset browser with auditioning keyboard, expanded handling of imported samples, improved effects, five new filter types, and the addition of physical modelling synthesis.
Electra2 is a powerful synth with a lot going for it. The presets prove that it can throw heavy punches in almost any arena, adapting its synthesis style to even the broadest ambitions.

Arturia CS-80V
Launched in 1977, Yamaha's CS-80 synth was a heavyweight in every conceivable way, and has since taken on classic status.
Arturia's emulation is now more than a decade old, so could almost be seen as a vintage software instrument, but with the company's TAE (True Analogue Emulation) technology at its core, the CS-80V remains a hugely popular plugin.
That, quite simply, is down to the fact that it does such a great job of emulating Yamaha's beast, nailing not only the sound of the oscillators, but also its signature ring modulator and pretty much every other aspect of its analogue tone. Sure, there are other synths out there that can produce similar results, but if you want to feel like you're playing and programming a slice of history, the CS-80V still has plenty to recommend about it.

GForce Software Oddity2
Released in 2002, the original Oddity perfectly captured the character of the original ARP Oddysey upon which it was based. And that must have posed a bit of a problem for GForce: how could something so on-the-nose be improved for v2?
Well, if Oddity sounded like a real Odyssey (which it did), then Oddity2 sounds almost like an entire revision history of the instrument, thanks to its greatly expanded filters, supercharged by the X-LFO and X-ADSR, which give it the ability it to produce sounds of far greater complexity than could ever be had from the original. Oh, and it's polyphonic now, too.
So, what we have here is a spot-on emulation of the classic ARP Odyssey in its various incarnations, with some very well thought-out new features as well. Essential.

Rob Papen Blue II
The original Blue was built around what the developer called "crossfusion" synthesis, combining familiar analogue subtractive synthesis with old-school 6-operator FM, along with a bit of phase distortion and wave shaping. It also threw in such extra niceties as step sequencing, multistage envelope generators, dual effects processors and loads of additive and digital waveforms to complement the standard analogue fare.
In Blue II, each of the six oscillators now sports even more waveforms, more than double the number of filter modes, and double the number of effects slots. There are plenty of other new features, too, but the takeaway message is that Blue II sounds at turns lush, deep, complex and alive, or biting, aggressive and modern.
A truly sophisticated synth offering endless programming possibilities, Blue II is worth every penny.

D16 Group Lush-101
Rather than create a literal clone of Roland's SH-101, with Lush-101 D16 has doubled the number of envelopes and LFOs, made it 32-voice polyphonic and added modern refinements and effects.
Oh, and, crucially, LuSH-101 is actually a monster stack of eight SH-101s: each is called a Layer and all are operated totally independently, brought together - along with a useful collection of effects - at the built-in final mixer stage.
This is one seriously great-sounding synth. Whether you're after basses, chords, pads or anything in between, there are simply no weak links. Even after 30 years of progress, some great ideas just don't go out of fashion.

Rob Papen Predator
On the surface, Predator's feature set looks very familiar: three oscillators are pumped through a multimode filter and a handful of modulation sources. These functions are augmented by an assortment of effects and the now-obligatory arpeggiator.
However, you shouldn't be fooled by this apparent simplicity: the devil, as they say, is in the details, and it's only when you start poking the parameters that Predator's powerful punch really becomes apparent.
It's easy to forge sounds of real depth and sophistication without getting sidetracked by arcane algorithms and impenetrable parameters. Needless to say, Predator comes packed with a plethora of presets from Papen himself.
Powerful, easy to get into and with awesome sounds, Predator is a no-brainer for dance musicians and a must-try synth for anyone else.

Madrona Labs Aalto
Inspired by analogue synth legend Don Buchla's legendary and quirky units, Aalto is brimming with features that provide an alternative to common methods of sound design, composition and performance. It's a semi-modular instrument, so it offers a fixed number of synthesis components, but these can be freely patched together.
Right from first launch, it's obvious that we're in new territory here. Aalto's GUI is divided into two sections. The top half of the interface sports most of the modulation and control sources, while the lower half provides oscillator, filter and other audio-level modules.
Madrona Labs has gone out on a limb with an instrument that can at first seem intimidating, but really isn't too hard to grasp. It sounds rich, evocative and wonderfully weird at times -if you got into synths because you wanted to explore new sonic territory, check it out.
Arturia Oberheim SEM V
The SEM is legendary precisely because it does things differently to most other synths. The basic synth architecture is fairly standard: the SEM is a monophonic synth with two oscillators (pulse and sawtooth waves), two ADSD envelope generators and a sine wave LFO.
Needless to say, the SEM V's architecture is an accurate recreation of the SEM's set-up. Tune the VCOs, apply some envelope modulation to the filter and you're immediately in classic SEM territory, wallowing in fat basses and warm, funky leads.
As a straight emulation the SEM V ticks all the boxes, but the software has so much more to offer when you explore it in greater depth: small but effective additions to the SEM design, advanced voice editing features and, of course, an excellent polyphonic mode.

Native Instruments Razor
Razor is based on additive synthesis, with up to 320 partials (individual sine waves). While additive synthesis has a reputation for being a tad 'scientific', Razor is very friendly, presented in the guise of a typical modern synth, with two oscillators, twin filters, and three effects sections: Dissonance, Stereo and Dynamics.
You'll find that ripping DnB/dubstep noises are shockingly easy to dial in, but bumpin' basses and sweet pads/leads are readily had too.
We'll admit that we were initially a tad sceptical about Razor, it being 'just' a Reaktor-based affair and entirely additive. However, it actually makes additive synthesis not just palatable but downright desirable.

Native Instruments Monark
Operating within NI's Reaktor or Reaktor Player, Monark emulates the classic Minimoog synth. It's faithful to the original save a few small differences, many of them behind the scenes. The Mini's selection of six waveforms are emulated (with Osc 3 getting a reverse saw that mirrors that of the other oscillators), and so are all six pitch ranges.
The filter section is the highlight of the instrument. Of course, the Mini's 24dB low-pass model is here and spotlighted, but you can also choose from two more low-pass filters (6 and 12dB) or a 12dB band-pass.
There are some other deviations from the original Minimoog architecture, too, but this is fundamentally a great emulation. Monark is in line with other modern vintage clones and sounds as good as - if not better - than, any of them.
Sonic Academy ANA
ANA is an acronym for 'Analogue Noise Attack', which refers to the three very different oscillator types found in Sonic Academy's 4-oscillator debut synth.
In addition to three standard ADSR envelopes (amp, filter and one assignable), ANA also offers a nifty G Envelope. Syncable, loopable and with up to 16 stages, this hand-drawn modulator can be used to create everything from rhythmic pseudo-sequences to rapid-fire trills.
Other mod sources include a couple of syncable LFOs and a pair of slots for routing external controls (and all internal modulators) to all viable targets. ANA's dual filters, meanwhile, can be run either in series or parallel.
Obviously, ANA isn't just another 'me too' virtual analogue synth, and the instrument is capable of some terrific sounds.
READ: Sonic Academy ANA review
iZotope Iris 2
With a slicker interface, improved effects, rejigged samples and preset library, and vastly extended modulation options, Iris 2 feels more like a synth in the conventional sense than the original Iris, which was decidedly esoteric in its presentation.
Nonetheless, the central conceit remains the same. You still have four sample layers (although all of them can now load any type of sample, rather than three sample layers and a dedicated sub oscillator), which are edited in the Spectrogram window.
The inclusion of the new classic oscillator bank and new modulation options take this plugin in new and exciting directions, building on its spectral foundations to deliver more 'music- friendly' sounds.
It can be a little demanding on the host CPU, but when a synth sounds this good, that's to be expected. Iris 2 is, without doubt, one of the finest virtual instruments ever made.

u-he Bazille
Combining powerful digital oscillators with an analogue-style semi-modular architecture, Bazille is a sound designer's dream come true.
It's packed with an awful lot of stuff, yet still it manages to be more than the sum of its parts. Its clever architecture makes it fun and creative to program; its superb, utterly convincing 'analogue' sound marks it out as a brilliant production tool; and its broad array of features give it extraordinary flexibility and obvious longevity.
In fact, Bazille stands as a genuinely viable alternative to a hardware semi-modular system, being more powerful in some areas, and far cheaper and more convenient.
For synth connoisseurs, then, Bazille represents pure, unadulterated bliss.
READ: u-he Bazille review
Native Instruments Absynth 5
Absynth has traditionally had a reputation as the serious sound designer's synth of choice (or one of them at any rate). Perhaps as a result, it's also been perceived as slightly scary and intense.
The latest version (5) of the synth hasn't really done much to change its image. With new effects and filter improvements, it can great even more complex tones than before but, although the Mutator effect enables you to morph a preset into something else just by choosing descriptive tags, the interface is still complex and intimidating. As always, though, the sound is first-rate.
Cakewalk Z3TA+2
It looked as if Z3TA+ was going nowhere (in terms of development at least), until v2 was unexpectedly released in 2011.
While the interface has had a significant functional and aesthetic makeover, the synthesis architecture hasn't changed. However, the sound quality stands up to other modern soft synths, especially since it's now more feasible to pile on lots of oscillators and leave the 2x oversampling on as standard.
Those who will get the most out of Z3TA+ 2 will be hardcore synthesists and sound designers, for whom a world of aural exploration awaits.

Native Instruments FM8
Anyone who was using synths in the '80s will know all about Yamaha's DX7, which became the FM (frequency modulation) synth that everyone wanted to own.
The FM8, which emulates said hardware, is now practically legendary too. Not only does it sound great, but it also makes the notoriously difficult process of FM programming much simpler, even going so far as to offer an Easy editing page for beginners. Those who want to get their hands dirtier can go the Expert page.
If you've had your fill of analogue-style synths, FM8 is a great place to go next.
REVIEW: Native Instruments FM8 review
Synapse Audio Dune 2
Dune 2 is a synth plugin that' built around Synapse Audio's eight-layer Differential Unison Engine concept.
Between its well-equipped oscillators and flexible zero-delay feedback filters, the overall sound of Dune 2 is distinctly clean and rich in character. This is definitely one of those all-rounders that can deliver most of the sounds you're ever likely to want from a synth, from lush pads to thick basses and soaring leads. As well as its extensive feature set, it also boasts impeccable sound quality and unbelievably low host system resource usage.
If the original Dune was something of an under-rated gem, the remake is surely destined for modern classic status.
u-he Zebra 2
Originally a word-of-mouth success on the Mac, Zebra has since earned its PC stripes, too, bringing its all-round awesomeness to a much wider audience.
It's a wireless (no patch cables) semi-modular synth that supports a variety of techniques. Its main focus is on subtractive synthesis, but the inclusion of FM and additive elements means the tones you can get from this instrument are more complex than those that can be produced by many others.
The presets do a good job of showing off what Zebra is capable of, but this is also a powerful sound design tool, and one that can prove to be seriously addictive. It isn't strictly a beginners' synth, but pretty much anyone should be able to get decent results with it.
READ: u-he Zebra 2 review
Native Instruments Reaktor 5
Where to start with Reaktor? It's best described as a cross-platform audio construction kit that enables you to create your own synths, samplers and effects by connecting modules in a graphical interface.
Useful module combinations can be saved as Macros; finished devices are known as Instruments; and combinations of instruments and effects can be racked together as Ensembles.
So, Reaktor is great for anyone who wants to build their own synths, but because there are so many high-quality user instruments available, it's also appealing to anyone who just wants a source of high-quality sounds.
u-he Diva
Two or three oscillators, multimode filters, dual envelope generators, a couple of LFOs and some effects. You've seen it all before - or so you might think.
Diva isn't a clone of any specific synth; instead it provides elements from various famous instruments, all deeply analysed and meticulously recreated with excruciating attention to detail.
Diva's got everything you need to carve out any basic analogue sound, and then some. It's meat and potatoes with added spice, and digging beneath the surface, you'll find plenty of advanced features such as powerful modulation options and per-voice fine-tuning. If your computer is powerful enough you'd be crazy not to check this one out.
READ: u-he Diva review
ReFX Nexus2
Nexus2 isn't as feature-packed as some of the synths in our rundown - indeed, some purists might argue that it isn't really a 'proper synth' at all - but if your priority is to have great sounds out of the box, it's hard to fault.
This is an instrument that's specifically designed for producers of contemporary dance music, with the supplied Dance Vol 2 preset expansion pack containing 128 patches for use in trance, electro house and hard dance styles. Presets can be tweaked with a range of sound-shaping tools, and both the arpeggiator and trancegate are impressive. The Mix screen enables you to adjust individual layers - each patch can have up to four - and there are some good effects, too.
Slick and inspiring, Nexus2 definitely stands out.
READ: ReFX Nexus2 review
Image-Line Harmor
Image-Line positions Harmor as an 'additive/subtractive' synthesiser, but there's no doubt that the emphasis is on the former. Even typically subtractive elements like the filter are achieved via additive technology.
Some things are familiar, but Harmor can be a bit intimidating on first blush. However, it quickly reveals its secrets to those who persevere - we urge potential customers not to be put off by its unfamiliar look and terminology.
There is a richness in tone here that, frankly, took us by surprise, and sound designers will find a lifetime's worth of inspiration.

Reveal Sound Spire
Listening to the demos and perusing the presets and parameters, you might be inclined to classify Reveal Sound's cross-platform VST/AU synthesiser as yet another trance 'n' dance machine. And it may indeed be geared up for just that, with its fat unison oscillators and big, brash, bombastic tones.
Yet it only takes a little digging to unearth some clever and unusual features that give Spire the ability to do things you wouldn't expect from a typical virtual analogue synth.
Although it does have some quirks, ultimately, Spire sounds terrific, generating everything from huge, brassy unison timbres to crystalline digital tones.
Native Instruments Massive
Massive is a hybrid synth that combines ideas and influences from all over the place. What's more, it's one of the most feature-packed synths we've ever encountered.
It comes with a massive array of wavetable oscillators (you can morph from one waveform to another using a dedicated knob), which makes it capable of producing everything from straight-ahead analogue-style tones to complex and evolving sounds. What's more, it's designed in such a way that it's relatively easy to program (the clever modulation system helps in this regard, too).
The only downside is that, although some 600 presets come supplied (and are easy to navigate), not all of them show off Massive's, er, massive potential, so you'll need to get your hands a little bit dirty to get the best out of it.
LennarDigital Sylenth1
On the face of it, you might wonder why Sylenth1 is so popular. It looks like (and is) yet another virtual analogue subtractive synth with four oscillators, a couple of filters and a pretty basic modulation section. We've seen dozens of synths with similar feature sets - many of them freeware - so why bother with this one?
The answer becomes obvious within a few seconds of loading it up: Sylenth1 sounds incredible. It's rich, detailed and full of analogue-style warmth. And while we find that many of the synths we review come with presets that fail to show off the instrument's true capabilities, Sylenth1's default bank is superb. A wide variety of sounds is on offer, including some beautiful impersonations of classics such as the TB-303 and Minimoog.
Sylenth1 has gradually become one of the synths that everyone feels they must try - make sure you don't miss out.
Spectrasonics Omnisphere
How to describe Omnisphere? Spectrasonics say simply that it's a 'power synth', and we think that's a pretty good description. Based on the company's STEAM engine, Omnisphere ships with a whopping 50GB sound library based on samples that were captured in all manner of different situations. We're not talking just common-or-garden stuff here: everything from light bulb filaments to a burning piano was recorded.
This means that Omnisphere's blistering presets are quite unlike anything you've heard before, while the level of synthesis options and other features on offer (effects, arpeggiators and more) is staggering.
The end result is a synth that really pushes the boundaries and, although you'll need a fast computer and plenty of RAM to get the most out of it, it's well worth paying a premium for.
Look out for a review of version 2 very soon.

KV331 SynthMaster 2.5
SynthMaster 2.5 is a semi-modular synth that seems to have been designed to do anything and everything. The interface may not be the prettiest, but it's definitely intuitive and user-friendly, which counts for a lot more in our book.
This is one of the few instruments that we can confidently say is excellent for most categories of synth sound. The additive synthesis module is perfect for organ-type sounds as well as filthy, obnoxious, tearing bass textures, while the new vector synthesis module is ideal for evolving leads or pads. Plus, when you do want it to do bread-and-butter synth work, SynthMaster 2.5 is more than up to the job.
Many developers say that they've produced the one and only synth you'll ever need, and we've always felt that was a dubious claim. This is the first time that we agree.
Xfer Records Serum
A quick glance at the feature list makes it apparent that Serum represents an earnest attempt to produce nothing less than the world's most advanced instrument of its kind.
Its oscillators sound cleaner and slightly brighter than we're used to hearing from synth plugins; you can import your own audio to create custom wavetables; there's an incredible range of modulation options; the Unison feature gives you five stacking modes; and the effects are outstanding.
And that's just the start - Serum has so many deep and advanced features in its locker that we couldn't hope to cover them all here. We're not being overdramatic when we say that this is quite possibly the most sonically versatile synth we've ever used, and certainly one of the best sounding. Your votes have put it at the top of our chart, and it should be at the top of your must-buy list, too.

Maybe you never heard of these series when they were first produced or maybe they didn't appear on the surface to be your cup of tea, so you bypassed them altogether. Now, like a fine wine, aged with time, these programs are considered classics which pushed the television industry envelope. Here are a couple of television gems within our collection that you may want to revisit or experience for the first time.
Sports Night: A show written and produced by the award-winning writer Aaron Sorkin shortly before he moved his focus to The West Wing. Sports Night fuses comedy and drama together with a rapid-fire delivery of dialogue, reminiscent of Sorkin's best work (A Few Good Men, The Social Network, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip). The show struggled to find a balance between humor and more weighty subject matter and thus confused both its network and audiences (the addition of laugh tracks were eliminated by the second season). It lasted a mere two seasons but is thought of as a forward-thinking show that posited inventive ideas about how to mix comedy and drama with the occasional sprinkling of politics.
Freaks and Geeks: Another show that baffled its network at the time of its release in 1999 and yet garnered both critical acclaim and a robust fan base. Set in 1980's Michigan, Freaks and Geeks, like Sports Night, was adept at suturing madcap narratives and hilarious dialogue to sensitive themes and dramatic depth. The series centered around two high school cliques—the nervous and awkward incoming freshman crowd and the hard-to-reach students comprised of school rebels. The character Bill Haverchuck may be the most layered and multidimensional nerd in the history of television. Judd Apatow, the successful film director and producer was an Executive Producer on Freaks and Geeks and many of its actors have appeared in his other movie projects. The show's future stars included James Franco, Jason Segel, Busy Philipps, and Seth Rogen.
The Larry Sanders Show: Years before Curb Your Enthusiasm emerged as one of HBO's most cringe-worthy comedies and years before the overly self-conscious and meta-choreographed rise of reality television and shows like Entourage, there was The Larry Sanders Show—a show about a show. Comedian Gary Shandling plays a neurotic talk show host who rarely has a day off from the various shenanigans that fate has dealt him. Surrounding Larry is a well-rounded cast of celebrities playing themselves, often to hilarious effect as well has his screwball agent (Rip Torn), his Ed McMahon-like sidekick (Jeffrey Tambor) and host of other future stars like Jeremy Piven and Janeane Garofalo.

If he was in active duty and overseas no we shouldn't. But because he was retired and at a gun range (ironic I admit) and murdered yeah I think a little sadness should be felt. Not to mention he did a lot of charity work and started a foundation to help soldiers deal with PTSD.
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
haha. I'm sure you get used to after the first couple kills. Or maybe you don't and he still struggled with each one but ultimately just realized t was his job. As for who decides who is the ad guy or not I think you would have a better understanding of that then I do, being in Nam and all, well at least the service part of it.
So do you consider yourself a veteran then and do you get access to the VA hospital? Just out of curiosity.
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
Yeah I agree it's like OK someone just died, so now we gotta pay thousands of dollars to bury someone? My dad has always said once I'm dead feed me to the sharks for all I care.
So if I'm reading it right you joined voluntarily and not drafted into service? Sorry for the questions last one I swear.
After you're dead, maybe your relatives/friends would want to have something to remember you by, like a grave to visit. It's not for you; it's for them.
I'm gonna be cremated, so they can put me wherever they want.
Yea I was a radical in high school and in Japan at the time. I joined there just to get out of the country (my dad was Army), went to the Bay for the summer, and off to AF. I was a member of the SDS and really did think I could be part of the solution. Work in the establishment, change from the inside. Well hundreds of trips, a few disappointments, got married, life moved on. It was just like a job though. In four years, I worked one Saturday and never a Sunday. 8-5, at a desk. Go home, major party (it was the 60's), and back to work the next morn. Really normal when you get down to it. I didn't regret it although I think I would have graduated college and not just flew thru life. cr****
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
I feel kind of bad for your kids and ol' ladies, Ron.
Well I mean even if you are cremated or cut up into little pieces and fed to pigs there is still usually a memorial or something that friends and family can still visit right? Both of my grandparents were cremated and they have a plaque next to each other on a wall in a cemetery.
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
Oooh, I want to be cut up and fed to pigs! That's awesome.
Poetic justice.
I was going more with food is food and we should recycle. If you don't know the movie than you wouldn't get it. Hey zzz, maybe the reason I seem a bit off haha, this is the first time in a couple of years no one cept me lives in my house. My daughter got engaged last week and she, her guy, and the lump all moved out. Yea but it is a bit odd. cr****
Have Another Hit Of Colorado Sunshine
I tried watching that movie on either Netflix and hulu and the quality was so bad that we turned it off.
Oh I didn't know it was a book. I could do that. Thanks!
But pigs poop out manure which can be used to fertilize plants! ...Just sayin.
Yeah, that is a good idea.
That is a cool idea.
We were told that it is illegal to spread ashes anywhere but into the ocean. I don't know how that could possibly be monitored, but that's what we were told.
Who told you, gunz?
