thank you

well, today I was lucky to find a long forgotten archive with some demotracks for Shuniji & Laserblade ... will be up soon in a playlist on my website.

Hopefully there are some tracks for ProtoPlasm too ... there are several foldes to be checked ...

V'ger - Sun Nov 13, 2011 3:16 pm

Thanks for this offer.

Nothing better for deep ambient than your synths with Valhalla Shimmer on top.

Fortune - Sun Nov 13, 2011 7:19 pm

though my website is currently down but as the 90 votes limit for the first to set free has been reached here you go:
winning is Shuniji Pro 2011 Cǎihóng bǎo (= rainbow treasure / free edition 2011

http://www.mediafire.com/?h7swtcv77rzh197

please remind the poll (& run) is still on for a second one to be set free

Enjoy

dbz - Sun Nov 13, 2011 7:25 pm

Judging from the free versions which I've tried, my vote is for ProtoPlasm Pro (TSM Version - pretty please??), as Shuniji Pro has too much of an asian flare and LaserBlade I find is mainly suited for FX. Where is everyone else's votes?

Thanks for the link... I see I'm a bit late to the party, as Shuniji's already the winner.

---

Fortune - Sun Nov 13, 2011 8:27 pm

no you're not too late as there is still a good chance for a 2nd one to too

---

dbz - Sun Nov 13, 2011 10:03 pm

---

Well, like I said - my vote's for Protoplasm TSM - it's my favourite out of all the ones I've tried. Sad to say, my computer doesn't run your newer plugins so releasing a couple of your older ones as freeware really makes up for it.
Thanks so much.

---

Fortune - Sun Nov 13, 2011 11:08 pm

---

Well, it will be ProtoPlasm Pro not PP TSM as this is still part of the HGF Classic bundle which is really cheap.

As of the newer plugins not running this is most likely due to your host which might not support the internal patch select and managing like e.g. old Logic for Windows. So this updated freebie might not run on your system either. You might crosscheck in testing with a small host like VSTHost.

P.S. my website is still down for an unknown reason ... probably an update of the server OS did cause this hassle. So please stay tuned.
P.P.S it is accessible via extended link below ...

only 9 votes needed for the 2nd one to be set free ... so keep it going ...

Any chance these will appear on a different server/host at some point in the future? Mediafire hates me for some reason.

Thanks anyway.

Hi, HG, good to see the interest in your family jewels If you get the chance,
or are interested, I'd like your opinion on my idea of selling products on
temporary dongles, (in the 90 day dongle topic) and the possibility of Indie Dev Collective members using something similar, to sell bundles at a price that would offset the cost of such a device/scheme, and hopefully buy some purchase time before the products
hit the torrents.
Cheers

---

Fortune - Sat Nov 19, 2011 10:03 am

---

well, as of dongles I have more than one reason to abstain from such a measure. Also this is not topic of this thread and I'd not like it to be discussed here.

cheers
HG

---

glokraw - Sat Nov 19, 2011 11:07 am

---

Of course. I meant to imply using the other thread here:

http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=334238

Back on topic, I enjoyed your Plutonia SF2 player plugin,
and since you have great sound collections, that might be
a good item to include in future sales of SF2 samples.
Cheers

Thanks for these! Your synths are by far the BEST synths I have ever heard for out of this world Soundscapes, Atmospheres and Textures!

Thank you, H.G.

I have been lost in another dimension for weeks now, exploring, creating sonic textures I had only imagined. Returning briefly to this plane of existence, I find two more treasures you generously share. I say to myself, "No, This can't be. This is too good to be true!". But, resistance is futile as they say.

You are the best, H.G.

My voyage continues...

YO! HGF..just grabbed me 5 synths, so i guess i arrived at

always love your work, so thank you. sounds like your latest
project is taking things even deeper. a justification for VST
in itself.

Thanks a lot!
I grabbed only the very best version of Protoplasm ever which is the 1st one. None of your other plugs comes near my taste of sound.
But there was a huge surprise: Laserblade S. Although I don't like the other LB version, this one is ... yum

Have nice Holydays

Basspartout - Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:50 pm

I downloaded and tested Laseblade, Serenity, Shunji, UltraSwamp, Plutonia, Protoplasm, ArracisGold and SilverOrbit and to my ears they all have a similar basic character. They all look very nice indeed, but I was disappointed about the basic tonal character. Harsh digital sound with many noises and "artifacts"? , aliasing?, let's call them noises I had the feeling they dont belong there. The only exception is Protoplasm. With a chorus added (Tal Chorus 60) it sounded very good and much warmer as the others. Also with this one there were no audible distortion noises like with the others.
Just a friendly honest observation/feedback.

---

jdt - Sun Dec 11, 2011 3:09 pm

---

Wow, that's kinda strange. I've got a bunch of H.G.'s freebies and have never had any artifacts" or noticed any "noise(s)" that weren't supposed to be there.

I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but you do understand the concept behind these synths right? I mean they're not supposed to be played like a piano...there are some presets on some models that are thinner, so to speak, but for the most part they use lengthy samples loaded in the oscillators and are meant to be triggered, tweaked and left to evolve over a period of time producing ambient textures, PADs and soundscapes.

If you try to play chords from your MIDI keyboard or an intricate melody line, you most definitely will not be pleased with the results in many instances.

Like I said, I'm not trying to be a wise a$$, just curious if you understand these instruments.

---

Basspartout - Sun Dec 11, 2011 3:35 pm

---

Yeah, sure. Testing so many of them I soon figured out the concept which I still think is very nice. But to be clear: Apart from them not meeting my general sound taste (xcept Protoplasm as I said) I noticed some really nasty "artifacts" that to my ears shouldnt be there. Too bad I uninstalled all of them again already.... I noticed it especially in atmospheres/soundscapes/pads that had a high frequency stringsound character or part of it. If I played two or three notes, then suddenly there were some audible distortion noises like I'd say about two octaves lower. Not loud, but audible. This didnt occur with Protoplasm.

Thanks

---

DJ_Bach - Fri Dec 16, 2011 4:55 pm

I solved the problem. The Shuniji 2011 Asian Touch fxb bank was created by P. Amca. When I tried to open this bank, it pointed to a location on P. Amca's computer for the SF2 files. Consequently, Osc 1 and Osc 2 would not load.

I'm sorry for posting this reply later than I should have, I can't post on this forum much anymore. :/

@Fortune:

Thank you for the free synths. You might already know I have had Solar Orbit but will use Silver Orbit now because it has the better patch-management system. Also downloaded and checked out LaserBlade-S and Shunji Pro.

Checked out that strange soundset by JohnDoe for Shunji Pro, those clashing rhythms and synth sequences had me pressing for a song of my own along those lines!

Peace everyone.

Hi, i hope someone can tell me what is this.
I got a new "issue" since i'm using these new freebies from HG Fortune.

I'm using FL Studio, and where it should show the parameters changes, numbers, etc (the info panel) i can see a "Patch Mem - Float Out X.X" (Where X are cyphers oscillating down/up and up/down from 0 to 9.9)

This is the first time i see this in my whole life.
And this is a constant info, so i can't see the info when i choose another parameter/knob/slider and change their values.

What is this Patch Mem - Float Out? There is any way to quit out?
I would like to use them, but the info panel is crazy with these numbers.

EDIT: Fixed now, i just unchecked the "Notify about parameters changes" in the Settings Tab/Automation. In case someone has the same issue.

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas
