The Tiger Synthesizer
The Tiger Synth is a highly versatile and flexible synthesizer being capable of complex multilayered sounds
with some specific extras from the Aux oscillators, as well as groovy rhythmic sounds you would hardly expect
from a synth, and, if you want, fairly typical synth sounds (brass, bass, strings PPG, DX, lead etc.).
There are a lot of modulation options, and, even more there is an easy way to integrate 'hardwired' controllers
like joysticks, touchpads or ribbons via the 4 UCC knobs (User assignable MIDI CC) which can be selected as mod sources
too. Alongside with Aftertouch, Velocity and Modwheel you have many options for realtime interaction at performing live
Two 16 step Rhythmic Pattern Gators (RPG) and a 16 Step Modulator can turn pads into complex rhythmic sounds. While two
Aux oscillators can add some additional spacey sounds (a little like with Altair 4), or, can be used as mod source for
a wide range of Amplitude Modulation. Even more both usages are mixable.
There is a lot under the hood of The Tiger to enhance Your creativity!

Testimonials:
Jesse James Allen mailed: "I just came home from a Hollywood recording project today and tried out The Tiger, absolutely incredible! You have really taken
it to another level with this one; the interface is great and the sounds are just stunning. I haven't been able to stop messing
around with this since I fired it up hours ago.
... I will most certainly be using this one on upcoming tracks!"
Bev Stanton: "HG This is your best synth yet!!!!!!! I absolutely love it!! I am finding so much inspiration today ..."
