Sonic Elements has released the Dragonfly Bundle, a collection of 164 patches for Lennar Digital's Sylenth1. It contains all patches from Dragonfly volumes 1 and 2.

Features :

• 164 presets for Lennar Digital's Sylenth1.
• Compatible with Sylenth1 v2.2+.
• Modwheel, Aftertouch, and Velocity mapped on every preset.
• Emphasis on creating new and unheard of sounds.

The Dragonfly Bundle is available for electronic distribution at $25. Volumes 1 and 2 can also be purchased separately for $20 and $15 respectively.
