This might be the least convincing of the FB offerings. Doesn't sound very good and I seem to be getting a lot of clicking noises from it.

A rather unusual but amazing synth for unconventional tones.

This thing is fantastic! I am loving it, and I haven't even started programming my own sounds. Really great work!

You can get some good sounds out of this with programming, kind of unpredictable though. Automation has led to some speaker and ear blowing noise that really shouldn't have happened. Use a Limiter or compresser on this always.

That's what the "CLIP" switch is for: To limit the output of the scrooo.

An average freeware synth, a few sounds might appeal to you.

A variation of Blooo. Still sounds good, but the controls are a bit different. Low CPU.
