Electra

Music is a great way to express yourself, let off some steam or just be a means to be creative, but the problem is that professional tools needed to do it efficiently are sometimes way too costly to be worth the while. For example synthesizers, even the cheapest models with the most basic features can still set you back a few hundreds of dollars, so more and more people opt to just use their digital counterparts. ElectraX is one such digital synthesizer, which can either be used as a standalone program or as a plugin for a more comprehensive program.

Saying that this tool is beginner-friendly is a bit of an overstatement since you do need to know the essential functions of a synthesizer to get the hang of this one.  Fortunately, any previous experience with such software or devices will be helpful since ElectraX covers all the essential and familiar functions other synths have.

One of the highlights of the program is that it boasts an impressive library of over 1300 production sounds provided by the various users across past versions of this software tool. ElectraX is equipped with a high-end quality sound engine with multi-layer support and a wide range of music production features, allowing you the same versatility on a digital synthesizer as you would get on an analog one.

Given the multilayer support that ElectraX offers, creating impressive musical tracks is no longer something reserved only to the musically savvy but can be done with just a few clicks. Content can be created for later use, and all files are stored as fxp. data, sparing you the hassle of dealing with broken songs, missing files or pesky archives.

While ElectraX doesn't bring anything new to the table as far as digital synthesizers go, it nonetheless offers all the essential tools you may need, and even more.  This makes it, along with all the other similar tools from the same developer, good alternatives if you are considering following a musical career or picking it up as a hobby.
