1. What Is Quantastical Sound Synpathy?
Synpathy is a string machine instrument built around sympathetic resonance. The voices you hold down share a single field and feed into one another, much like real strings influencing each other over a soundboard. Hold a chord and the sound never sits still: it slowly swells, breathes, and settles into a slightly different shape every time you play. Behind three large, easy-to-use knobs lies a deep structure, so there is no need to dig through menus or hunt endlessly for presets. No licensing or activation is required. Version 2.0 runs lighter than before, but it is still a somewhat CPU-heavy plugin.
