SH Studio £60

A multisampled (for Kontakt) and polyphonic take on the rare and raucous Roland SH-7 synthesiser, SH Studio includes the original’s weird additive oscillator (with the addition of saw and sine waves), plenty of filtering, modulation and effects, and an External Input module for mixing in one of 40 additional sampled waveforms from various Roland and Korg instruments, plus the Jennings Univox and – crivens! – Logan String Melody II! One of the Robot’s best yet, this thing makes some amazing noises and comes in at a very reasonable price. www.rhythmicrobot.com
