Saurus

Those that love playing on synthesizers know how much it costs to buy the real deal, so they usually opt for the virtual version. The problem is that veteran users and synthesizer aficionados can tell the difference in sound between the digital and analog versions of the machine. However, once in a while there comes a digital synthesizer that makes that difference seem blurry enough to be worth buying instead of the real thing, and one such synthesizer is Saurus.

Strictly from a visual point of view, Saurus is a pleasant surprise for any veteran synthesizer user, since it is designed to look like the real thing. The buttons and dials all have a metallic glow to them, all while being accompanied by a matte black background and a dark wood finish. As for the sound, the app successfully delivers what it promises, as the overall realistic analog look is accompanied by a real analog sound. Even the sound made by pressing the keys seem organic enough for you to forget that you are pressing a mouse button and not an actual ivory or ebony keys. This is all thanks to the authentic emulation of analog synths provided by the True-Analog-Modeling-Technology

Saurus provides everything you may desire in a synthesizer, from a variety of oscillators to filters, frequency adjusters, reverb effects, analog filter with self-oscillation, FM, a powerful arpeggiator and feedback. This complete package allows Saurus to replace a large number of very expensive analog synthesizers, thus bringing great value for money, all while being low on the CPU while still providing high-end sound quality

Saurus covers all aspects of the most famous and expensive synths, but without disadvantages, making it along with all the other synthesizers from the same developer a great choice to take into consideration.
