The sound of Sophistry is amazing! It is deep, textured, and evolving. Almost all of the patches evolve over time, even if it is a slow opening filter. And, as far as I can tell, they are all synced to your host’s tempo. The pads all beg to be held for a long time and they are willing to reward you for holding them. Don’t get me wrong -- there are none of the “hold-one-noteand-there-is-yoursong” type patches. And there doesn’t seem to be any morphing from one sound to another. But it’s not just slow LFOs on the filter either.

And to continue with the “not-a-one-note wonder” theme, you can play chords with almost all of the patches. The sound is thick but it isn’t that thick! There is plenty of room for your creativity. > >
