Twin 2

Earlier this summer, I was totally set on Zebra.  It was modular, could do a wide range of sounds, and there were a lot of great presets showing it off.

But I'm glad budgetary restraint kicked in as there were 2 hitches:

I was waiting to buy Zebra (mainly waiting for some more clients to pay up) but fate intervened.  Last weekend Fabfilter had a promo on a Mac software site to buy Twin 2, Timeless 2 & Volcano 2 for $99.  I missed the deal, but bought Twin 2 anyway because the interface is absolutely brilliant.  Zebra & Imposcar both remain on the wishlist, but I've got my hands full with Twin 2, Filterscape VA and a number of free VSTi that I dig.
