Tone2 Audiosoftware has set free its FireBird 2 software synthesizer instrument for Windows.
Firebird is not just another subtractive synthesizer, it uses a unique synthesis architecture to deliver next-generation sounds.
After seven years of faithful service, the time has come to set the bird free. Firebird itself has become vintage and even though it’s no longer profitable to remain a commercial product, we feel that more people should deserve an opportunity to enjoy this sometimes heavily underestimated synthesizer.
Which is why we decided to release one last update and turn the product into freeware (previously $79). We want to say a big THANK YOU to all customers who supported the development of Firebird and other Tone2 products, by purchasing our software.
Please feel free to share Firebird 2 with all your friends! We hope you’ll enjoy working with Firebird for many more years.
