Xhun Audio LittleOne is a really good emulation of the Moog Little Phatty analogue synthesizer, including a really nice effects section,
a 16-step sequencer, a 16-step trancegate and a factory library of about 400 factory presets...

It sounds fantastic... I have been a user of Moog hardware synths for many years now, and with Xhun Audio LittleOne you have
a BRILLIANT instrument on your hands that meticulously carries on the work of Bob Moog in a software form!

During my 40+ years career with my long project in electronic music called 'Neuronium', I have been using many
analogue and digital synthesizers but as hardware. Actually I still use Moog brand hardware as they are unique.
But as a plug-in offering the great 'waves' of electronic 'feelings', LittleOne is in fact a huge step forward for
all of us playing concerts around the World and taking with us a laptop full of virtual instruments. Now, LittleOne by
Xhun Audio fills the gap between virtual instruments and the lovers of real analogue touch. LittleOne is just the name
because it is just HUGE! Huge in possibilities and also huge in ease of use if you are familiar with Moog or with any analogue
control panel. For me now this software is called HugeOne! It is now totally integrated in my Kore 2 world by Native Instruments,
and without any trouble I can access all its sounds and possibilities in a breathe. Bravo!

As the owner of sixteen vintage hardware synthesizers, I can say LittleOne is one of the most realistic, authentic sounding analogue modeling synthesizers
I have used yet. A real game changer...

with a very warm and bold sound that other synthesizers do not have...

With ZeroBox, it was very important to Xhun Audio that it was about more than emulating the circuits and signal path.
To do a 303 properly you had to capture all the quirks and weirdness that turned a bassline synth into a little box of magic.
How have they done that? Well, something to do with physical modelling, Advanced Component Simulations and various bits of cleverness -
suffice to say you'll find that it works as you expect a 303 to work including various circuit bending along the way.
All in all, ZeroBox looks like a tidy 303 plugin that will keep your Acid glands satisfied for hours...

ZeroBox is an authentic, solid emulation of the legendary Roland TB-303 Bassline Synthesizer from 1982 - it uses physical modeling to mimic the hardware,
sound and behaviour of the original unit. However, it is more than just a software clone...

Great Sound and excellent development! I love LittleOne and its direct interface.
Getting a new sound is very smooth and you always feel as a musican, not as a software engineer.
And the included sequencer is a very special tool. It will be a pleasure for me to use it in my
future Studio/Live projects!

With LittleOne version 3, Xhun Audio has made its Moog emulation even better: the synthesizer comes with a warm and full analog sound,
a wide range of inspiring presets and an attractive price. Like its hardware role model, the plug-in impresses with crisp basses, leads and
thanks to the included sequencer, trancegate and multi-effects, achieving modern sounds is child's play...

Xhun Audio has a new instrument on the grid, but one that is very special...
The strength of ResonHeart is to recreate the familiar tones and flavors of acoustic instruments as well as
very experimental sounds that are not possible to achieve with usual electronic synthesizers...

How does it sound? Rich, deep and smooth with a certain ’je ne sais quoi’ :
LittleOne captures both the essentials and the character of the Moog's analogue synth:
in a mix I think that most people would be hard pressed to say whether you had used a real
Little Phatty or LittleOne. So, kudos to Xhun Audio for a superb, very usable synth...

LittleOne comes with a warm and rich sound, an elegant look and great presets. In the
making of this inexpensive plug-in, the developers took great care for the details, such
as a faithful controller scaling, the convincing filter self-oscillation and a natural-sounding overload...

IronAxe is an amazing, inspiring instrument which lets me perform in a Realistic, Expressive
and Natural way, both leads and accompaniment parts with a true real-time control on different
guitar playing techniques! I can customize my virtual Electric Guitar easily and in a few steps,
moreover the built-in FX section is a great added value. If you need a plug-n-play Electric Guitar
plugin, you've got it! IronAxe gives Power to your fingers and Expression to your music ideas!

For several years I have been burning midnight oil on designing presets and
comparing different instruments construction's concepts
and their versatility. I had several chances to put my hands on
different 'Analogue Legacy' simulations and I was at a loss for words when
launching LittleOne for the first time, willing to explain myself how come
such an insubstantial software gear can make your mind blow. I just couldn't
resist to compare it with its hardware twin, and realized we have been
blessed with LittleOne as it brings literally everything from the Analogue Warmth
and Filters of Robert Moog's concept. I would love to mount my virtual rack with
some other analogue babies from Xhun Audio...

After deeply checking out Xhun Audio LittleOne I have to say: well done, my friends!
This synth sounds really fine and it's fun tweaking sounds with this lovely GUI! Tons of
different patches included, a built-in 16 step sequencer, full MIDI CC# mapping,
nice details implemented. LittleOne is everything you need to have an easy-to-use but
good-sounding synthesizer!

I'm an electronic music producer since the mid-1980s - I tried any single synthesizer ever created -
and I have to say that LittleOne is a great instrument, it impressed me for its incredible dynamics and
for the beauty of its presets. I start every new project with a couple of LittleOne, it drags me back to
the Analogue Age...

LittleOne is a succesfull attempt from Xhun Audio to recreate the looks and sound of the Moog Little Phatty.
Its rich, well crafted sounds make it a fantastic VST for everyone who wants to give an analogue touch to their
productions. The warm bass-sounds, leads, pads and fx can be altered with ease.
Although the GATED presets seem to be primarily handy for trance productions, the majority of presets and
sounds are really usefull for my kind of electro(nic)/techno-music.
I really like the simple layout/GUI and how everything works. And all is MIDI-mapped! More VST's should be
that straightforward and effective. It also comes with a clever section were
you can program and adjust the sequencer/trance-gate or onboard effects like delay and reverb.
There are other VST-replicas of Moogs available, but the first time I heard the LittleOne I immediately
saw its use. I love this VST and will use it in many future projects for sure!

Well, first of all, I could name this astonishing virtual analog synth as 'BigOne', because 'Little' is not the appropriate adjective for it!
LittleOne impressed me scrolling the Factory Bank presets! It includes a collection of big and warm, deep and powerful,
clear and definite stunning sounds. A real analog sound invasion! The beauty of a real synth is here collected in a light plug-in
that I can use over years and on tons of new productions, from Pop to Rock, from New-age to Metal... no limits for the LittleOne!
The most important thing is that each single sound is wonderfully playable, any of that inspire me a totally new song. Playability
is a feature I always look for in a synth, and usually I get disappointed. Instead, the LittleOne features that lovable playability
that makes the difference between a muffled-synth and a spectacular-instrument! Among others, Leads, Pads, and Arp categories are, in
my opinion, absolutely extraordinary! I never had such big collection of playable sounds in a single instrument, neither in the
hardware versions. Select a sound and you could play it for hours!
I'd like to mention the 'Theremin' patch, such beautiful, warm, realistic and heavenly... I was looking long time for that sound;
I finally found it in its best expression.
The graphic interface makes any changes or sound creation so simple that could not be simpler... and that's it what musicians always
are looking for when inspiration comes true... it isn't?
I could continue with adjectives and comments but, as always and especially for the LittleOne, the only thing to do and the only words
to say are: you must play it!

LittleOne is a great instrument, very simple to use, with a BIG, clean, very rich sound.
Presets cover from huge Basses, Leads, Pads and what I like most, SFX area.
Very transparent, clear GUI. Great build. It's not CPU hungry and fits perfectly into huge projects.
I like to quickly realize my musical ideas in my productions and this synth definetly helps me a lot.
I like it very much and I will use it in all my future projects...
