  • Cardinal

    Virtual modular synthesizer plugin

    • Do check out Cardinal. That thing is fucking monster. I'd recommend going for the Lv2i version, because it's more stable & less resource-hungry than it's VSTi counterparts. If you're on Windows or MAcOS, Reaper has Lv2i support, regardless of OS(CLAP too - Reaper's cool like that).
