The ES1 is an analoge softsynth. It has 2 Oscillators, 2 LFOs, 2 ADSR. The sound is diverse, from punchy and fat to soft and fluffy. Though it has it limitations because of the architecture, still you can make some cool sounds coming out of it. The GUI is very innovative, easy to use, simple to understand and the special thing about this softsynth is that you can route audio through it. All in all, for $75 you can´t go wrong.
Good Points
- audio-in
- best GUI on a softsynth so far
- Price! $75 can´t be beaten with all that features
Bad Points
- pads can sound a bit thin without effects.
