discoDSP has released Corona, a virtual analog / wave synthesizer plugin for both Windows and Mac OS X. The description doesn’t say that much, and I don’t have a demo right now to tell you more, but here it is:
“32 and 64-bit, virtual analog and wave synthesizer for Audio Units, VST hosts featuring 3 VA + WAVE oscillators, up to 14 combine modes between oscillators resulting in extensive timbres, 8 destination matrix modulations, 3 LFOs, 3 ADSR envelopes, unison, chorus, delay and limiter effects with high-quality sound and analog modeled filters using a straightforward and easy to use interface.”
