Swierk

Swierk is a classic VA subtractive synthesizer, with plenty of modulation sources and destinations to make your sounds move and grow. Swierk has a classic architecture and layout for ease of use allowing the user to get sounds up and running quickly with minimum fuss. If you are after a classic unison lead or squelchy bass Swierk can do the job however, if you wish to dig deeper this instrument provides the parameters and functions to push you sound design to different places.

System Requirements

• Saltline plugins are 32 bit VST instruments and effects for windows and as such require a VST host program to run.
• PC: WinXP or later
