Soundware round-up

Audiotent

Opus $56

Big ol’ bunch of beefy presets for the OP-Xa – the growling beast of a synth from them cats at Arturia. Inside the pack, you get low subs and bottomless bass from the bowels of beyond, moody middle ground courtesy of a fine pick of pads, and some terrific tops and lead lines to tickle your higher branches and other hard-to-reach spots in your audio spectrum. With 107 options to wade through, you’re more than sure to find some twisted sounds to warm up your track cockles. And, with bonus preview WAVs and a sneaky batch of melodic MIDI files, you get an extra bow to tie it all up with, too.
