    There are actually two wavetable oscillators, a sub oscillator and a sample oscillator, while modulation can be applied using envelopes, ADSRs and LFOs. There’s also a modulation matrix for even deeper control.

    Sektor boasts two filters and two multi-effect racks, and can be customised and expanded in a variety of ways. Not only can you change colours, backgrounds and skins, but you can also add your own samples and purchase expansion packs. That said, Sektor comes with 500 presets as standard, which are suitable for use in a wide range of genres.

    Hi mate,

    those are your kind of sounds, aren't they? :yes:

    Almost 39min vid isn't bad. Seems it has some nice features.

    Did you recognize they are offering a RAM module for the synth at their homepage?

    P.S. Sorry for my countryman's bad English.

    Yeah, I came across their ad on youtube yesterday. Verrry good advertisement, I actually went to their site as a result (which I never do). I wonder if its as good as their commercial would entice us to believe?

    I bought this last week.

    To be honest, i am quite disappointed with the soundquality.
    I did some factory preset rehearsals and these all sounded muffled to me, no real clarity, no punch at all, not clean.

    However, i am aware of the fact that this is maybe highly subjective and i am getting hearing loss, who knows.
    Just me 2 cents i guess.
    For me personally, i bought this one but i shouldnt have bought it really.

    they say it offers low system resource usage :keys:

    @vanhaze did you try the demo first before buying ?

    No, it was a "buy without thinking".
    Ofcourse , pretty stupid, i know.
    Nevermind.

    I digged some more into Sektor and made some own presets which sound pretty decent.
    I am guessing i am just not too happy with the factory presets, but that's ok, i'd rather make my own.

    Tried this in fl studio for a test and after saving project and re-opening project I found it had lost sound with no playback. Weird. Then had to reload vst to get it working again. any1 have the same issue? Please advise as it looks like a good low budget vst

    probably the pci-e card synth has better quality if it has 32bit DAC module? we need hardware soft synth!(not joke)

    In principle soudwise a good idea, the only disadvantage is the limited number of slots on MB.
