The deal
$29.60 at Spitfire Audio (down from $33.02) - an ongoing 10% discount with no listed end date.
What it is
Entropy is a virtual instrument plugin from producer and sound designer Alex Epton (XL Recordings, known for work with FKA twigs, Bjork, and Arca), built for Spitfire Audio's free player. It's a library of chaotic, feedback-driven synth and percussion textures pulled from modular synthesis, granular processing, and found sounds run through custom gear and unusual impulse-response reverbs, including one captured inside an abandoned oil tank. Expect sweeping synths, pulsing bass drones, and multilayered sound-design textures that evolve, unravel, or detune as you play.
Who it's for
Producers and composers working in electronic music, sound design, or film and TV scoring who want unstable, organic-feeling synth and percussion textures rather than clean, static patches.
Key features
- 29 presets spanning synthetic, sound-design, and percussion categories
- Built-in reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, and phaser effects alongside a dedicated portamento control
- Sounds sourced from modular and granular synthesis plus custom-processed found sounds
- Designed to add tension, texture, and evolving movement to electronic and film-composition work
