Im a big fan of Izotope products. Having bought stutter edit, alloy 2, trash 2 and ozone 5. When i was at Xenophorm studios recently i was introduced to Dynamic eqs so was pretty excited to see it included as a module in the Ozone 6 previews.

Soniccouture are well renowned for their meticulous sampling of sought after and unusual instruments, and this time is no exception.

UPDATE : I was going to write a review, but i've just seen this review by Ask Audio Magazine which gives a great overview of the instrument. There are also some really interesting interviews with Chris Watson & a few of tutorials from Soniccouture which i'll post below. Chris Watson...
