The Sound Board

.
One my favourite soft synths, the AAS Chromaphone, has just been updated to v2:

Here's what's new:
- NEW Factory library
 - The completely renewed factory library has well over 600 production-ready sounds classified for fast and intuitive exploration.
- NEW Drumhead resonator
 - This new model reproduces precisely how a real drumhead vibrates resulting in super realistic and responsive drums and percussions.
- NEW Envelope mode
 - The envelope generator for the noise source is now equipped with an AHD mode for carving precise one-shots.
- NEW Noise filter bank - The noise source spectrum can now be tailored with a 10-band filter bank for fine control of the tone.
- NEW Low-cut filter
 - Resonators have been complemented with a low-cut filter to control the clarity of an instrument response.
- NEW Arpeggiator
 - Add motion and give a new perspective to sounds with the new built-in arpeggiator module.
- NEW Source mixer
 - Fine control of the mallet and noise sources to shape the attack and sustain phase of sounds with precision.
- NEW Compressor and equalizer
 - These new additions are perfect to add punch and definition to your sound, letting you cut through any dense mix or stage.
- NEW Limiter - 
The new output limiter protects your ears and monitors during experimentation with the synth’s parameters while providing a maximum of distortion-free dynamics.
- NEW Streamlined interface
 - Redesigned from the ground up, the new interface now divides Chromaphone 2 into three panels: Play presents shortcuts to the performance and effect parameters including bypass switches for quick edits; Edit lets you tweak and create your sound; while FX supplies equalizer, compressor, multi-effect, and reverb processors for a final sheen.
- NEW Microtonal tunings via Scala scale files - 
Chromaphone 2 now supports the Scala scale file format for microtonal music making.
- UPDATED Overhauled effects
 - Reinvigorated and polished, Chromaphone 2’s multi-effect processor features our best sounding chorus, delay, phaser, flanger, distortion, notch filter, wah-wah, auto-wah, and reverb to date!
- NEAT Backward compatible with Chromaphone 1 presets - 
Simply copy your banks from Chromaphone 1 in Chromaphone 2‘s bank folder to convert them.

Looks amazing—I love Chromaphone so this is definitely a tempting upgrade.

More than fair upgrade price as well. Instant buy from me.

The noise filter is a great addition.

Sweet...
