Humanoid Sound Systems Scanned Synth Pro

When it comes to unusual synth noises, there’s a lot on offer in the VST world. Hollin Jones explores the strangest of sounds...

Price: £79.00
Manufacturer: Humanoid Sound Systems

Scanned Synth Pro is the latest release from two-man Edinburgh-based development team Humanoid Sound Systems and successor to Scanned Synth VST. A VST plug-in for Windows, it combines physical modelling and wavetable synthesis to create a new method of sound generation that the company calls scanned synthesis. Using this method, Scanned Synth Pro can create unique and unusual digital tones and sound effects, but its interface retains the kind of terminology and controls that are familiar to synth users.
