Though all three have helped many a record into the charts, the sample–based Atmosphere synth seems to have made the biggest impression (possibly because prior to its release such lush, layered pads were the exclusive preserve of owners of several expensive keyboards and a posh reverb unit).Īfter five years topping the pops, Atmosphere has finally been discontinued and replaced by a far more ambitious instrument. The quest to combine the unpredictable with the highly functional culminated in the first quarter of 2003 with the popular trio of virtual instruments Stylus, Trilogy and Atmosphere. Persing's imaginative streak was always harnessed to musical practicality, as evidenced by the huge collection of instantly usable, bang–on–the–money grooves found in Metamorphosis, Retrofunk and Backbeat.

The founder of Spectrasonics has always created products which defy expectations, whether they be the eclectic world–music excursions of Supreme Beats and Heart Of Asia, the Distorted Reality series or the hip, funky swirling beats on Liquid Grooves and Ethno Techno.

Spectrasonics' ambitious new sample–based power synth explores the realms of psychoacoustics and organic synthesis while running on a Steam engine - what can this all mean? Let's find out.
