This latest plug-in effect from d16 group is part of the Silver Line series. It is a double analog delay line chorus similar to the ones found on Solina, Juno and Synthex analog synthesizers. Its familiar GUI is borrowed from its other siblings, like the Devastor and Decimort, which have a very easy to navigate and simple to operate interface. Syntorus is all about the sound and implementing the right delay module is top priority according to d16. The implementation of a precise model of a high quality analog delay line gave this plug-in its true, unique chorus sound without the unwanted digital artifacts. It dons two delay lines, unlike other chorus units, giving users a much fuller sound. Labeled Path 1 and 2, both delay lines have the same identical knob, slider and switch controls to suit your taste, including Depth, Offset, Tremolo (adds dynamic and moving sound), Waveform (sine, triangle, square, etc), Stereo Phase and Path 1 and 2 Volume, Rate and Tempo Sync (full, dotted, triplet). Each path's LFO can be sync'd to the host application, which enables users to sculpt the sound rhythmically. A great way of adding interest to your sounds. Additionally, there is a Bucket-Brigade Device (BBD) emulation switch available for adding extra analog warmth and character to your sound. Turn this switch off and Syntorus will evert back to a clean and pristinesounding effect.



I auditioned Syntorus with a bunch of audio materials and was impressed with the result I was getting. It added life to a thin bass sound with a nice touch of a creamy and wide effect. I find Syntorus to be a good alternative to synthesizers with lackluster chorus effects. If you're looking to add richness to anemic and dull sounds, Syntorus is a sure bet to be useful in your tracks in many ways. I particularly love it when used to thicken a guitar sound, especially a clean Strat guitar. Good job, d16.
