The Music Radar site is asking their audience “What are the best VST-synths you can buy?“. Swiss DJ and music producer  - and Symptohm:Melohman enthousiast – Dominic Reamonn answered their poll and copied us on his mail to Music Radar. You can guess his vote, but not necessarily his very own emotional reasons to love this powersynth

“My vote goes to Ohm Force’s Symptohm. Why? Because of all the synths out there that I have tried, Symptohm is the only one that:

• Has an Ape’s ass as part of its interface
• Has envelopes and LFOs per parameter (excluding Minimonsta, of course)
• Contains 4 banks of filters with a total of 30+ filters
• Has an Ape’s ass as part of its interface
• Has delay times that can be LFOed for total glitch fests
• Scares cats
• Is fairly unknown, which makes me look different, and thus better
• Was made by a sandwich company.
• Can produce totally unique and expressive sounds with next to no effort at all.
• Has an established YouTube fanbase centered around the works of Jack McOck and Professor Von Schwarzenberg.
• Doesn’t crash any more.
• Has an Ape’s ass as part of its interface.

And of course, because it has an Ape’s ass as part of its interface, I can spend less time purring over animal porn and more on making music. Ça va de soi!”
