Rich in harmonics and full of bite in the top end. Much like the minibrute the more you distort and saturate the sound the better it gets. For a soft synth to be compared to sounding like an analogue beast is quite a compliment. I instantly thought this sounds a little like my Arturia Minibrute, which if you've used before will know how good it sounds. Where the instrument gets interesting is how it sounds. Controls wise was very similar to everything else I've used, so navigation around the synth was simple.
So I downloaded, installed and was quite honestly blown away with how it sounded. I saw it was on sale at 40% off and figured at that price even if I use it only once it'll be worth it. Carbon Electra always looked to be very similar to everything else I had. There are exception like Xfer Serum that just take sound design to the next level.
I mean they all essentially do the same thing. The reason being is I thought how many synths do you actually need to own. I had seen Carbon Electra advertised a lot over the past year or so and never really took much interest in it.
