SOLO: The Ultimate World Synth
Unleash your creative potential and embark on a sonic journey with SOLO, the cutting-edge cross-platform virtual instrument plugin (PC / MAC / VST3 / AU / AAX) designed to transport your music to new horizons. Featuring a unique blend of hybrid synthesis, microtonal scales, and world music sounds, SOLO is the ultimate tool for composers, producers, and musicians seeking to infuse their compositions with captivating global flavors.
World Sounds at Your Fingertips
SOLO takes inspiration from diverse musical traditions around the globe, curating an exceptional collection of world music sounds that transcend cultural boundaries. Immerse yourself in a library brimming with unique presented sampled instruments blended with a hybrid synth engine featuring analog and phase distortion modeled oscillators to provide modern sounds.
Drag & Drop MIDI Phrases
SOLO now includes a library of authentically played MIDI phrases in the appropriate microtonal scales. Audition and then just drag and drop the phrases directly into your DAW to use in your productions. Use them with the pre-selected sound or any sound within SOLO or other plugins.
Explore Microtonal Maqam Scales
Break free from the twelve-tone scale by dialing in world microtonal scales with an “oriental-style” scale converter. SOLO ships with a huge library of the most popular scales used throughout the Middle East and the world.
Take Expressive Control with MIDI
SOLO combines advanced performance control, MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), and deep modulation capabilities to unleash your creative potential. Infuse your performances with lifelike expressiveness.
Deep Sound Editing
SOLO allows you to dive deep into sound editing by allowing you to pick which oscillator types you want, filter types (Ladder & SEM style filters) along with a suite of studio-quality effects (Distortion, Phaser, Delay & Reverb).
Cross-Platform Compatibility
SOLO works on both PC / Macs on any DAW that supports Audio Unit, VST3 and AAX instruments (Cubase, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Reaper, Studio One to name a few!). Our Mac version is also M1 Native.
Integrate KMP & SF2 Samples
SOLO allows you to use Korg KMP and SoundFont2 samples within our sample oscillator providing you limitless capability to create new sounds. Just add the search path to the Global tab and start sculpting!
Activate On Up To 5 Devices
Our licensing system allows you to activate SOLO on up to 5 devices per license key. No more dongles or other third-party tools are required.

First of all, i would like to tell you that this is the BEST synth plugin i have ever used.
I think this will be the best synth in the industry for every balkan/oriental composer, arranger or musician.
I am so grateful that there are sound designers and software engineers like you that deliver high quality plugins, that respect and emulate the Balkan and Anatolian sounds at the best level .
Sounds are SO accurate and the GUI is really user friendly that makes the sound design process so easy and enjoyable!
The effects put a brilliant color to the sound especially the delay and reverb.
Keep up your great work guys you really help me becoming better at composing with your sounds
Greetings from Greece

My search for perfect middle eastern sounds ended here. These patches not only sound great but also inspire you to come up with some melody that sounds very authentic to its roots.

This Synth is great! I have been looking for a middle eastern synth for such a long time, so when it came out I jumped onboard.
would be nice to have a pianoroll in the GUI that also shows the pitch and modwheel, hope to see that in a future update.
taqsim truely is the gateway for middle eastern music !!!!

I’ve been looking for something like this for ages and I’m already having great fun with Solo and Micro Toner. Apart from sounding great it’s helping me learn the microtonal adjustments for the many included scales in a ‘hands on’ way which I haven’t come across till now. Well done! – Patrick Wilson

As a Hip-Hop and Bass Music Producer who loves to incorporate ethnic sounds into my songs, this plugin was a must have as soon as I saw it. Having bought it, and tested out the sounds, I am extremely happy with the tonality of the instruments, particularly the flutes and plucked instruments. I love how easy it is to mix and match the tones as well, so sound designing is really fun. Amazing job by Taqsim! I love SOLO!
