While an Embracer may sound like a character from an Arnold Schwarzenegger film, in SX it’s a new polyphonic synthesizer that specialises in producing pad and atmospheric sounds. On the whole, Embracer features a relatively simple and unfussy user interface, and it’s capable of producing some very usable sounds. However, perhaps its most intriguing feature is the surround sound output option, of which more in a moment.

Monologue is a monophonic virtual analogue synthesizer based on physical modelling technology and primarily intended for producing bass or lead sounds. It features two oscillators, with choices of sawtooth, square and sub waveforms for Osc 1, and sawtooth, square and triangle waveforms for Osc 2. Oscillator 2 also features PWM control, which adjusts the pulse width of the square wave. The Sync button synchronises the pitch of Osc 2 to that of Osc 1, and when this is active adjusting the pitch of Osc 2 alters tone rather than pitch.
