Es cierto que a diario hay novedades y no se comentan, a veces porque no tienen la calidad de lo ya existente, otras porque se nos pasa y otras porque sencillamente no lo merecen.
Sin duda, como recordar que hay sintetizadores como Cobalt que han sido reescritos y actualizados y nadie se ha acordado (o nadie le ha dado la relevancia que debería)...

Yo lo había usado pero como lo valoraba en el aspecto de sintetizador VA no le supe ver el punto interesante, y es que viene a emular a los sintetizadores híbridos digitales de los 80 que daban osciladores digitales y filtros analógicos. Sin duda, lo tengo que volver a probar y ver qué tiene de especial para que lo mencionen en BPB... y en KVR esté bien valorado.
Cobalt is a VSTi software synthesizer inspired by many of the digital synthesizers from the 1980s.
Alguien escribió:In the early 80s as digital technology became cheaper, many manufacturers designed synthesizers that combined earlier analog technology with newer digital technology. These were known as hybrid synthesizers. Well-known hybrid synthesizers are the Korg DW8000 and DW6000, the Ensoniq ESQ-1, and the Kawai K3.
In analog/digital hybrid synthesizers, the oscillators responsible for generating waveforms are digital while the filter section remains analog. This approach freed designers to use any kind of waveform; they were no longer restricted to traditional analog waveforms such as sawtooth, triangle, and pulse. However, by using an analog filter, these synthesizers retained the warmth earlier analog synthesizers were known for.
Though Cobalt is a purely digital synthesizer, its overall architecture is very much like those early hybrid synthesizers. It features a wide selection of waveforms, most of which were resynthesized from actual hybrid synthesizers, while providing traditional subtractive synthesis capabilities for sculpting its sound.
Key Features:

Key tracked envelopes.
Rich overdrive effect based on a custom algorithm.
Stereo delay effect with MIDI synchable delay times.
Easy to use.
No creo que resulte mucho más genial que otros, pero si consigue un toque especial pues ya vale la pena tenerlo.
