What it does
Amazynth is a sample-based preset instrument for urban music, built around "booming 808s and heavy basses" plus melodic and atmospheric sounds. The developer names producers such as Johnny Juliano, Cardo Got Wings and Zaytoven as its inspiration.
- Presets: about 230 sounds in 15 categories; the store lists 20 808s, 16 basses, 23 bells, 20 keys, 20 strings and 20 synth leads among them.
- Melodic and atmospheric sounds: 19 ambient sounds, 19 pads, 13 plucks, 11 organs, 10 woodwinds, 5 choirs, 10 textures and 11 reversed sounds.
- Envelope and filter: an ADSR envelope and a filter for shaping each preset's attack, decay and tone.
- Movement: LFO parameters and glide, so 808s and leads can slide between notes.
- Level and pitch: Low and High Amp controls, panning, volume and pitch.
- Effects: a built-in reverb.
- Library: a sample library behind the plugin.
It is delivered as an instant download. No demo is mentioned, only a demo video.
When to use it
Amazynth is a fast, cheap palette of trap sounds rather than a sampler: you pick a preset and tweak the envelope, filter, glide and reverb. Compared with Kontakt 8 or HALion 7 it has no sample editing, mapping or scripting, and you cannot load your own samples. Against SampleTank 4 it is far narrower in scope but aimed squarely at 808s, bells, keys and pads for beats. Next to its sibling Xpectre, it has more presets and more 808 and bell sounds, while Xpectre leans more towards atmospheres and EDM. Omnisphere 3 costs much more but adds real synthesis on top of a much larger library.
- Best for: beatmakers who want ready trap 808s, bells, keys and pads with basic shaping.
- Genres: trap, hip-hop and R&B.
- Look elsewhere if: you want deep sound editing or your own samples; Kontakt 8, HALion 7 or Omnisphere 3 offer much more.
