Two brass sounds.
That's the whole point.

Two saxophones walked into a beige office in 1986. Only their sound walked back out, and it now lives behind a window that refuses to be resized. It ships with a cheese. We're not joking about that part.

The sounds

Two sounds. No menus to get lost in.

Every other synth drowns you in a thousand sounds. Gonnec gives you two. They were chosen carefully. Press play.

Sound 01

Brass 1

The signature stab. Bright, punchy and unapologetically synthetic — the sound of a saxophone that has never seen daylight. Add a touch of chorus for instant 1986.

Sound 02

Brass 2

Warmer and rounder, with more body in the low mids. Pull the filter down, add a little vibrato and it turns into a surprisingly expressive lead.

Under the hood

Everything you need to shape the sound.

A full set of controls hides behind that humble face. Tweak, sweep and dial it in until the brass sits exactly where you want it.

01

Filter

Open it up for bright, cutting brass or close it down for something soft and dark. It has its own envelope, so the tone moves as the note plays.

02

Envelope

Shape how every note begins and ends — from sharp, punchy stabs to slow, swelling pads.

03

Reverb

Place the brass in a small room or a vast, cinematic space. Off by default, on whenever you want the air.

04

Chorus

Thickens and widens the sound — the secret behind that lush, shimmering 80s spread.

05

Vibrato

Add a wobble to the pitch, with control over how deep it goes and how soon it kicks in after a note.

06

Portamento

Let notes glide smoothly from one to the next for those expressive, sliding leads.

Claim your cheese

Every download includes real cheese.

This is not a metaphor for a bonus preset pack. We mean dairy. The plugin has a Claim your cheese menu. Where it leads is between you and the synth. *

* Cheese availability, type, freshness and physical existence are not guaranteed in any jurisdiction. Lactose intolerance is your own responsibility. The brass, however, is very real.
