Synapse Audio introduces a new software synth to its product line. The EKS-9 is a unique VST/AU plugin, dedicated to creating powerful electronic bass drum sounds, reminiscent of vintage hardware. Its virtual analog engine is not only capable of authentic recreations of the sounds from such machines, but can synthesize new kick sounds with lots of punch too! For this reason, it should not miss in any electronic music producer's plugin arsenal.

The EKS-9 is available for Windows and Mac OS X. A free demo version can be downloaded from our Download page. It is fully functional, except that patches cannot be recalled and that periodic white noise is introduced every minute. The full version can be purchased from our shop page.

System requirements:

Windows: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7

Mac OS X: OS X 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

A host software which supports VST or AudioUnits

The OS X version is a universal binary and thus functions with Intel-based Macs as well as with older PPC-based machines.

As an introductory promotional offer, the EKS-9 can be purchased from our shop page for only $39 during the first month; regular price is $49.
