Mille is a 1000-oscillator swarming droning synth to delight your ears and hurt your eyes

Composer-developer Giorgio Sancristoforo continues to deliver complete hardware sound laboratory experiences in standalone software form for your Mac or PC. The latest provides some 1000 oscillators, 200 filters, and 200 LFOs in a massively epic synthesis experience. (Or even 2000 oscillators.) Get ready for a wall of sound unlike any other.

That makes this worth a look whether you’ve got a hardware Eurorack rig or are just getting started in software.
