REQ: Aly James Lab SY-4X Syncussion

Aly James Lab SY-4X
The Pearl Syncussion SY-1 percussion synthesizer has long been a favorite of electronic music producers. With the new SY-4X plugin from Aly James Lab, you can now enjoy authentic Syncussion action in the comfort of your DAW – and then some!

Aly James Lab SY-4X brings the mighty Pearl Syncussion SY-1 to your DAW. But the developer didn’t stop at a meticulous emulation of the original’s oscillators and filters. Not only does SY-4X offer four SY-1 modules in a single plugin – it also comes with many new features and algorithms for even more sonic variety.

SY-4X includes no less than four Syncussion modules in one plugin, which gives you a total of eight channels to play with. Some modules feature additional modifications like noise direct injection. With four Syncussions at your fingertips, you can create anything from an 8-voice drum kit to four mono synths to a four-voice polyphonic synth. Modes can also be mixed to create a custom Syncussion setup.

Everything is MIDI-controllable, including a neat Trigger-to-Mode feature that switches between modes with every new trigger. With drum kit and keyboard modes, adjustable pitch tracking, and a host of other options, this could be the most versatile emulation of the mighty Syncussion we’ve ever seen.
