"In short, Aspect is a tweakers paradise. It is the type of synth I want to get to know better and better and I am finding myself firing it up
in just about every new project I start. Each time I use it I find new and unique sounds."

and Linux is now available. Click here to read more about Aspect.Fixed in 1.7.10 are the following issues:
