"Entity", a new semi-modular soft synth, is the latest release by NUSofting,

designed and produced in collaboration with Sonic Timeworks' DSP master.

The initial release offers the complete 1.0 plugin for

-- AU and VST Mac

All four plugins are included, 176 presets, for an attractive

introductory price of just US$48.

Customers who buy this first release will receive a free update to the

full product package in a few months. The update will add more presets,

an extensive manual (PDF), and a few aesthetic and functional

enhancements, like a new skin (GUI) and more features.

Entity is a semi-modular architecture, offering a selection of modules

you can assemble in various ways to create a wide variety of

configurations. With Entity you can combine traditional subtractive

synthesis with physical modelling generators. A huge palette of oscillators is

available,

and there are 3 X 14 possible filter selections.

The matrix gives you masterful control over shaping your sound, letting you connect

modulation sources

to destinations quickly and easily. To give your audio creations a

final shine, you also get a flexible, great-sounding effects section.
