FORBIDDEN PLANET is EastWest’s new revolutionary hybrid synth that allows you to instantly morph between synth layers and acoustic instruments to create new instruments as you’ve never heard before, from dreamy cinematic soundscapes to hard-hitting EDM bass lines.

It includes over 600 expertly crafted morphing synths across categories such as Arpeggiator, Bass, Drones, FX, Leads, Pads, and Polysynth. Forbidden Planet is simply a composer’s dream, perfect for all genres.
