The partner to Monoment Bass (7/10, 274), Softube’s Statement Lead is another sample-based synth that draws on a library of lovingly captured recordings of “rare and expensive synths and built-in effects of the highest quality” as osc sources, and makes it easy to turn them into polished lead sounds. 90 waveforms are onboard, usable individually or in any mixed pair; and a variety of Analog Dirt layers can be dialled in. The analogue-style filter incorporates a built-in modulation sequencer, and if more transient attack is needed, the Punch control is your friend. Then there are effects, the Aging control (for “noise, grit, drift, mayonnaise and mojo”) and the versatile Auto-Glide pitchbend function. €99.
