This week’s free plugin is a recreation of a cheap analogue synth from the 1980s. The Realistic MG-1 synthesizer sold in Radio Shack stores. The Surrealistic MG-1 Plus delivers fat analog tone in spades, along with a unique polyphonic oscillator section, "bell tone" ring modulation, glide, auto repeat note triggering, oscillator sync, and a number of improvements that tremendously expand its capabilities. Best of all, it's absolutely FREE!
