| Product: | Astralis A and B |
| Developer: | Homegrown Sounds |
| Type: | Synth (Hybrid) |
| Price: | £30 |
| OS&Formats: |   |
Astralis is described as a "tweaker's synth", great for ambient pads/sounds as well as rhythmic effects and very long evolving tones. Aside from having 2 independent synths with dual and spectral oscillators, 2 cascadable filters (8x), 2 Modulation Sequencers, a Gate Sequencer (TranceGate), and a comprehensive FX section, Astralis also includes a unique Microtonal Scale System. This system uses patches created using the included Microtonal Bank/patch manager. Custom scales of up to 24 notes can be created, and scale entry is designed with scala files in mind using either ratio or cen... [more]
| Product: | Astralis Baby Bion |
| Developer: | Homegrown Sounds |
| Type: | Synth (Analogue / Subtractive) |
| Price: | Free |
| OS&Formats: | |
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&Formats: | |
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: | HGS WAV Recorder |
| Developer: | Homegrown Sounds |
| Type: | Audio Recorder |
| Price: | Free |
| OS&Formats: | |
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&Formats: | |
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&Formats: | |
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... [more]
| Product: | SoundScaper |
| Developer: | Homegrown Sounds |
| Type: | Delay / Echo |
| Price: | Free |
| OS&Formats: | |
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]
