H. G: Fortune has released X-Wheel of Fortune II Pro. Based on the free X-Wo II this is the widely enhanced Pro version of their integrated, partly algorithmic VSTi music system - a tool for easy track creation for most types of electronic music.

Based around 8 independent instrument parts, it allows you to create complex tracks and atmospheres. Each patch/preset is a complete musical track arranged easily by means of the inbuilt sequencers, 42 different musical scales and harmonical steps within these scales. There are 64 editable presets/patches available which will take you around six hours to listen to in full.

• Pad 1 and Pad 2 Synthesizer featuring a special vLFO for even more versatile modulation on Pads.
• Lazy buttons within Pad 1, Pad 2, Bass and HiSq Synthesizers to randomize different sets of parameters.
