[Markus Krause]

Product Description:

No synthesizer can sound like FireBird+

Firebird+ is not just another synthesizer. It provides a powerful, unique, and innovative synthesis architecture for next-generation sounds never heard before. The innovative user interface allows the creation of impressive custom sounds with a few parameter changes.
437 build-in sounds present a full range of useful workhorse studio standards as well as very special Firebird sounds characterized by multilayered subtle modulations which add new life and dynamics to the sounds.
