VST: REFX Claw



REFX’s Claw is VST that is used more for leads rather than basses. It has only 1 oscillator which doesn’t give much room for a good sounding bass. It has a very small interface with about 10 knobs that include: delay, cutoff, wave, drive and a few others. The small interface is good due to the face that it never gets in the way while sequencing. As for the colors, and design, well, its pretty boring to say the least. Despite its small size, lack of oscillators and knobs, it gives off a pretty decent sound. Another downside of this VST is the minimal amount of presets that are given. There is about 20 different presets that contain average sounds. Its CPU usage high for a 1 oscillator synth, which is not good for users who are using more powerful VST’s simultaneously. It uses about 3-4% CPU and has yet to ever crash my system. I would personally recommend this VST to everyone mainly because of the fact that it is free. It is definitely one of the best free-ware VST’s that I have used.
