H. G. Fortune has released LaserBlade v2.1, a compact synth VSTi for Windows. It features a versatile sound-engine with modulatable XTorsion, Filter FM (frequency modulation of filter like in the Sequential synths) and a Metallize section. This enables you to achieve quite 'sharp' or digital sounds as well as a variety of short percussive Seq-sounds; LaserBlade can also generate soft, bell-like sounds, and more.

Features:

• Two digital PCM-wave oscillators powered by 170 different waveforms.
• Each oscillator has a Harm+ knob for enhancing the upper harmonic structure.
• XTorsion with selectable modulation source.
• One filter (24db Lowpass with resonance).
• Filter-FM feedable from both oscillators separately.
• Two ADSR-style envelope generators.
• Three LFOs (one BPM-synced; one with 42 pattern-style waves; one with shapeable waves).
• Metallize section for more metallic timbres incl. two modulations.
• BPM-synced Stereo-Delay.

LaserBlade is available in two versions: a free 2-voice version, and the full 8-voice version, which also features switchable velocity to both ADSR EG, and a 'Lazy'-button. The full version costs €25.
