Residue – Drone/ambient software synth.
Residue is a 6 oscillator drone/ambient synth that can create a wide range of sounds. The sole focus of Residue is to keep all controls on one page and offer enough to be able to realise a variety of interesting sounds, textures and effects.
The Residue demo is available to download here.
An activation key for Residue can be bought from my Etsy store.
