Astralis Orgone is a "Dual Sample" based Synthesizer. It is the next generation of the Astralis Range and is highly optimized with great improvements in CPU use and especially load times. It is a rounded synth capable of sounds ranging from Trance Style Rhythms to Hard Leads and excels at Pads, Atmospheres and FX. Great care has been taken into developing a logical layout and many useful control features, such as double click resets and CTRL fine control adjustments. It comes with 128 presets and 150 samples, though you can add your own samples very easily.

Astralis Orgone Lite is the free version of Astralis Orgone with a reduced feature set. It is free, fully functional and a feature packed synth in its own right. It includes 128 presets and the diversity of sound created from 25 samples demonstrates the power of the Astralis System. Great for creating atmospheric Pads/Ambience/FX as well as Trancegate, Modulated and Arpeggiated Rhythms. The synth is free to use but donations are always appreciated to support future developments. More details here.

Product: Astralis Baby Bion
Developer: Homegrown Sounds
Type: Synth (Analogue / Subtractive)
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Astralis Baby Bion is a free lightweight synth using the oscillator from the forthcoming Astralis Bion. It was designed primarily with SoundScaper in mind, the free FX plugin from Homegrown Sounds, which can create complex undulating collages. Baby Bion adds a synth to create the sound source, as well as flanger/filter, a complex LFO and a couple of 32-stage envelopes. Although it specializes in soundscapes and atmospheres it can also be used as a general lightweight synth. The uniquely developed dual oscillator provides over 3,500 different waveforms which can be mixed in many flexible ways i... [more]

Product: Astralis Bionic
Developer: Homegrown Sounds
Type: Synth (Analogue / Subtractive)
Price: £15
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Like Baby Bion, Astralis Bionic is based around the Bion Oscillator and SoundScaper, but adds an Arpeggiator, Modulation Sequencer and Gate Sequencer (Trance Gate). As a result it is capable of everything Baby Bion does with the addition of complex Tempo synced Rhythms. It uses slightly more CPU than Baby Bion but is still a lightweight Synth considering its features. The uniquely developed Dual Oscillator provides over 3,500 different waveforms which can be mixed in many flexible ways including FM, giving many more possibilities. The Oscillator and Filter code has been highly optimized for ex... [more]

 
Product: Astralis FX

Type: Multi FX
Price: £10
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Astralis FX is based on the effects section of the the Homegrown Sounds' Astralis range of synthesizers and offers a world of sound transformation, ranging from lush pads to industrial destruction. The effects in Astralis synths play a large part in shaping their sound, the idea with Astralis FX is that the same can be applied to any live sound source sent through the plugin such as drumloops or Guitars etc. It also includes a Modulation Sequencer and Programmable Gapper for creating tempo-based rhythm effects. It can be used as an insert or send and the effects can be used in 127 different po... [more]

Product: HGS WAV Recorder
Developer: Homegrown Sounds
Type: Audio Recorder
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
HGS WAV Recorder is a simple plug-in that performs a single role, recording the incoming signal directly to a WAV File. It can be used either in an insert or as a send effect. The sound output can either be direct through, muted or the recorded signal to ensure maximum flexibility. It is a useful plug-in for recording spontaneous improvisations, or providing realtime record functionality in hosts which do not support this directly. Each WAV is named by the date/time the recording was started so there is no danger of recording over any existing wavs and all are sorted by date. The recording fol... [more]

 
Product: HGS WAV Recorder X
Developer: Homegrown Sounds
Type: Audio Recorder
Price: £15
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
HGS WAV Recorder X is a VST Plug-in that adds advanced features to the freeware HGS WAV Recorder. The main new feature is the ability to do multiple simultaneous recordings throughout the host, either when record is enabled or a second mode allows it to only record whilst the host is in playback mode. A usage example is that you could put a recorder on insert strips of multiple channels, start playback and record each track to a separate WAV which would all be synchronised. This is ideal for recording many tracks in a project simultaneously and in realtime, ready to import into a different seq... [more]

 
Product: Homegrown Piano
Developer: Homegrown Sounds
Type: Piano / Keys
Price: £35
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Homegrown Piano is based around 88 samples of a Steinway B Grand Piano which were recorded at medium velocity. It was developed like many other HGSounds products to be great for Ambient/Atmospheric music, though is useful as a standard piano. The 128 presets cover a diverse range of sounds from Standard, Honky Tonk, Bright, as well as many echo landscapes, high resonance/distorted, and synthetic instruments. Though it is primarily designed as a piano, it is still a synthesizer at heart and as a result has plenty of experimental potential. The plug-in uses 2 duplicate piano layers, the second o...

Product: Introjector
Developer: Homegrown Sounds
Type: Sampler (Loop Tool / Slicer)
Price: Free / £40
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Introjector and Introjector Lite are lightweight VST Instruments for Windows, designed as a sidekick to Homegrown Sounds' Black Magic. The simplest use is to load an existing Loop, and then Re-Sequence it using the onboard Sequencers. This can then automatically be recorded out ready to import into any other application which uses Loops. The Recordings are named by time created and stored in folders by BPM. However, Introjector is capable of much more than that, it can load up to 8 WAVs and then 16 slices of any combination of the WAVs can be made into a kind of Kit. These can then be played l...

Product: SoundScaper
Developer: Homegrown Sounds
Type: Delay / Echo
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
SoundScaper is capable of Reverb, Echo and Comb effects. It was designed primarily as way of creating atmospheric landscapes in the tradition of past HGSounds creations. It has almost infinite feedback time for many modes, and so is capable of producing rich and complex drones when used with a continuous sound source. It can also be used as a traditional reverb or echo suitable for any application. SoundScaper has a diverse range of sonic possibilities using 300 datasets of comb/allpass timings, each providing a different effect model. Each of these modes can then be set to one of 33 different... [more]
