Statement Lead is Softube's five-octave polyphonic synth designed for lead sounds with an organic, analog feel. Rather than synthesizing from scratch, it draws on carefully recorded and processed sound sources from rare and expensive hardware synths, which is where the character comes from — the pickups of unusual instruments rather than generic oscillator waveforms. High-quality effects are built right into the plug-in, so sounds can be finished inside it rather than patched together from external processors. Three versions ship together: Statement Lead, Statement Lead for Modular, and Statement Lead for Amp Room — extending the instrument into Softube's Eurorack platform and its guitar and bass platform, so the same sound sources can be used in different contexts. The interface is deliberately approachable: an intuitive user interface and presets make it easy to get started, resulting in polished sounds in no time. It requires macOS Sonoma 14, Sequoia 15, or Tahoe 26, or Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11, plus Softube and iLok accounts, with AU, VST, VST3, and/or AAX host software. Supported sample rates are 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz, mono and stereo, and Softube recommends VST3 over the older VST format. #StatementLead #Softube #PolySynth #LeadSynth #AnalogSynth #Synth #Synthesizer #SoftubeModular #AmpRoom #SoundDesign #ElectronicMusic #Pop #HipHop #VST #VST3 #AU #AAX #FLStudio #AbletonLive #LogicPro
