* The manual is easily accessible from the panel's 'menu' button. * Lots of effects: delay, reverb, chorus, distortion, rotary speaker, EQ, compressor/limiter/expander, frequency shifter, vocoder * The Distortion effect has pre- and post-EQ, good for guitar amp simulation. * Just about everything can be modulated by just about everything, and in a simple and intuitive way. * 2 'scenes' (voice partials), each containing 3 oscillators and 2 multi-mode filters * Highly versatile oscillators: classic, wavetable, FM, a unique variant of wavetable called 'window', Karplus Strong string synthesis, additive, and more, all with a wide variety of ways to modulate the timbre, ideal for LinnStrument's Y-axis control.

Why? * Extremely versatile, enabling highly complex and beautiful sounds * MPE compatible * FREE and open source * Runs on Mac, Windows and Linux, both as a plug-in and as a standalone app. Unless I need samples, it's my new go-to synth. Surge XT is my new favorite synth and the new official synth for LinnStrument.

A scale-out architecture to provide the resiliency and scalability required to meet the rigors of production carrier environments.Surge XT: an excellent, free, open-source, MPE synth And the official LinnStrument synth.

Simplified management, configuration and deployment of new software, hardware & services.

A platform and a set of applications that act as an extensible, modular, distributed SDN controller.

By moving intelligence into the ONOS cloud controller, innovation is enabled and end-users can easily create new network applications without the need to alter the dataplane systems.

ONOS supports both configuration and real-time control of the network, eliminating the need to run routing and switching control protocols inside the network fabric. ONOS was designed to meet the needs of operators wishing to build carrier-grade solutions that leverage the economics of white box merchant silicon hardware while offering the flexibility to create and deploy new dynamic network services with simplified programmatic interfaces.

Open Network Operating System (ONOS ®) is the leading open source SDN controller for building next-generation SDN/NFV solutions.
