Built on an ARM micro-controller the SoundForce Dual ADSR module is very smooth, CV controlled, individually loopable and reflects their Juno obsession.
Dual VCF gives you dozens of modelled analog filters, envelope following and LFO for modulation, for the price of a home-delivered meal. We think this could be a neat little addition to your arsenal.
From saturation to lo-fi flavoured with extreme echo and rhythmic modulation, it looks like there's plenty of fun to be had with Undertow, an absorbing new plug-in by Psychic Modulation.
