How to win a Pro version: The 1st one to decipher that angled, cryptic looking message at the bottom of the GUI correctly will win a Pro version. Post the deciphered message here as reply!
Ok, that one has been solved already: 'turns your sonic dreams beyond imagination'.


Jesse James Allen did a nice demotrack (incl. info on the patches used)

Astral Dreamer is an incredible "Human Machine". The mp3 is only made with only one little preset without anything else and there is absolutely no realtime control (except of course on the keyboard....) All is played in real time and gives impression that the sound is in constant progression (various moods, various speeds, various strings, ....too gooooood !!!
Astral Dreamer on new ways for the special sound of HGFortune synthesizers!

There are dedicated routing options starting right at the oscillators which can be routed to one of the two filters, a flanger, or direct to the VCA.
So you can have a dedicated soundmodifier for each oscillator allowing a wide variety of multicoloured sounds within a single patch very much like multilayered sounds. Each oscillator has got an Additional Harmonics Shaper (AHS) to enrich sound in generating shapeable upper harmonics from the selected wave.
The character of this additional sound ranges from rich choruslike to metallic sounds and can be mixed - also via modulation - to the original wave.
The new waveset coming with Astral Dreamer does contain carefully processed waves to provide a wide variety of soundsources: Synth waves from real analog, virtual analog and digital synths, complex waveforms, soundscapes (mostly image generated sounds), plus some XFx sounds. Besides the routing possibilities there are a lot of modulation options to shape the sound into some intricate motion. And the straightforward GUI provides instant access to all controls for quick editing and tweaking to shape your sound.

Features (based on Pro version):
Soundsources:
3 PCM wave Oscillators each with 128 waves plus Additional Harmonics Shaper

Filters:
1 x 24 dB resonant Lowpass filter with ADSR EG and 4 channel mod mixer
1 x 12 dB resonant Lo, Hi or Bandpass filter with ADSR EG and 4 channel mod mixer
Filter Routing: parallel or serial possible
1 x Flanger

Mod sources:
2 Aux ADSR EG (3 & 4)
3 bpm synced LFO
1 bpm synced Sample & Hold
1 bpm synced double LFO with phase shifting

Output:
1 VCA ADSR EG
1 Pan for direct signal
1 Pan for delay signal
1 Delay
1 Stereo Reverb
1 Saturate/LoBoost (4 modes)

Other:
Lazy System with 8 buttons
Velocity Sensivity knob
visual display of LFO motion (can be hidden)
12 voices, 4 patchbanks (512 patches)
MIDI Learn/CC Edit for most control elements
inbuilt MIDI CC display

Thank you for access to this public beta, Fortune! You never fail to amaze me!

HG,

Looks fantastic, as always.

So, your stuff was in a Blofeld - NICE!

Good luck with this.

Thanks Mike ;-)

Yes, there is a soundset 'Alien Vanguard' including 256 patches and a waveset to push the Waldorf Blofeld deeper into space. So in some way you have a HG Fortune hardware synth :D
Demos here: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=374675

Soon there will be two more commercial patchbanks and a free patchbank.

Thanks HG for another great VST plugin. I was wondering if you were going to stray off of doing more VSTI plugins, this answers my question.

The sounds I went through are great. As others said, GUI is great also.

Looking forward to add this to my HG sound collection.

DaveT :)

Downloading now, thank you. :)

Doing patches for Altair 4 was a blast. I might try it on here... see how it goes. :) Any sub by date?

By now I estimate release will be around 27th this month.

meanwhile I did some additions/changes:
did improve (and raise) overall output level as well as added four modes to Saturate (1, 2) and LoBoost (1, 2)

Changed / Added Routing: Each osc can be selected to be send to Flanger and LP:MM Filter Mix can be send to Flanger or Bypass Flanger so this does offer some more options for sounddesign

Added SnH- to Filter mod sources so one can have opposite SnH on the filters.

Added Appendix 3 to manual about AHS with some images about waves and their related harmonics.

Addes two more Lazy buttons - now:
Osc waves, Osc AHS, LPF, MMF
Osc mod sources/routings, Aux EG, LFO, All

Some minor bugfixes.

With 128 waveforms for each OSC, I guess there are more than 2 million possible combinations, that's a good start for a synth :D

Getting some really nice pads with the MemoryString and Orchestral forms.

But would like OSC's that go lower than -1. Can that be expanded?

technically that would be possible but at this stage the entry to the list would have to go after +2 in order not to affect patches already done as these would be 1 oct up then.
I'll think about that.
