U-he Tyrell N6

In April 2013, we released TyrellN6 version 3, which now supports VST3. The new user interface was designed by Ryo Ishido. U-he Tyrell N6 is outstanding in the VST instrument plugin world. This free virtual instrument is a compact, extremely powerful subtractive soft-synth that is capable of producing and manipulating high-quality sounds on an unimaginable scale.  TyrellN6 is the software version manifestation of these ideas.
