Not impressed with this one. Some of these FB synths are great tools for making all sorts of styles of music but some have a really specific tone to them that's really only suitable to certain genres. This one (and the korg fury VST) feel very much like they're of a specific point in music history and are only really useful if you want to sonically reference that moment in time.
Ironically, for a string synth, I think the pads on this aren't that great and it's actually the organ sounds where this one really shines.
Not a great synth IMO but it's very well made, like all the FB VSTs are.

The Korg Delta was my very first synthesizer back in the 80ies. It was my only synthesizer for a long time and I used it every day. This plug in is really great. Amazing how it emulates the sound of the original.

The Nabla, as with the Korg Delta it emulates, is a very basic synth, nothing special... except the sound that is great ! Everybody should have one of those re-creation of those old but mighty "strings synth", and the Nabla is the one for me, good UI, nice presets, MIDI learn, classic strings synth sound !

This is one of my favourite 70s style string synths. I actually prefer this to Arturia's string synth (great though it is) for many uses. This synth makes sounds with real character, the presets need playing with to get the best out of it. Makes some great warm pads if you spend a little time on it. Thanks Full Bucket
The Delta was my first synth, and while the paraphonic operation on this is a little wonky, the sound is really good.

Thanks yo.! Both raw and thick sounding, very nice!
Very good VST, lush sounds. If you are looking for '70 string sounds, try also 'The Deputy II' from same editor.
Is there a place to get presets?
beautiful VST, love it! <3
I had a Korg Delta and miss it greatly! The moment I heard this VST, I flipped out - he caught it perfectly! It's exactly the sound I remember from my Delta, except it didn't have delay... Good job! If you like retro synths, this is a must have.
