Sampleson - Things
Intuitive Synth Sound Creator
THINGS allows you to create hi-quality synth sounds even if you have zero experience in synthesis. Sampleson implemented what they called "Descriptors" which are objects and ideas that will help you understand the effect of a knob and the kind of sound it will produce.
All of the parameters can be assigned to a CC contoller (right-click over the desired slider/knob) and automatable via DAW.
