The Muon TAU PRO is the pay version of the cutdown freeware TAU they offer.... I never used this synth, but their other stuff is quality, so this should deliver too!..... here's some site info on the Tau Pro:
The Muon Tau Pro is bursting with character and individuality, packing everything you need to create storming lead riffs and basslines.
We’ve taken the classic monosynth design of the Tau, added a second oscillator, PWM, sync, ring modulation and a fantastic effects engine to bring it bang up to date.
Two incredible 64-bit waveform oscillators with a choice of ten waveforms each, pulse-width modulation, sync and ring modulation mean that the Tau Pro seriously delivers - without noise or digital artifacts.
Superb lowpass resonant filter, with 18dB Classic, 24dB Hi-Q and 36dB Phat modes.
Built-in FX unit for warm overdrive, chorus, flange and vintage-style delay effects.
Full MIDI control. Draw cutoff curves right in your sequencer or use a hardware controller!
The Tau Pro is more than just an acid bassline synth. Its flexibility means that it is equally happy delivering seriously chunky lead riffs, deep junglist sub-bass or dubby textures. Whichever kind of electronic music you make prepare to want one!
