Greetings wonderful people, It’s my great honor to present to you guys, Astral Shine for Parawave Audio's Rapid synthesizer! As always, I’ve truly had a blast working with this amazingly powerful and beautiful sounding synthesizer. It is most definitely one of my favorite synths as an artist and a sound designer. I put a lot of love into this soundset and recorded many samples using my audio technica microphone.

The soundset is full of lush sounding pads mixed with beautiful sounds of nature, from the woods, sea creatures like whales and dolphins, and otherwise a wealth of calm and relaxing sounds. There are also around a dozen One Note tracks, mini songs, that can help start a new track.The vocal pads are exceptionally unique and sound beautiful playing lush chords. There is also a wealth of tastefully designed plucks and leads. Overall, I feel this is our best soundset yet for Rapid. Listen to the audio showcases, over 170 of them, and decide for yourself.

Astral Shine" for Parawave Audio's Rapid synthesizer contains 116 presets (over 300 layers) and 1GB of original multisample and wavetable content. The presets are suitable for modern contemporary electronic dance music production, chill out, ambient, breakbeat, future bass, future house, future goa. Each patch has extensive modulation settings for velocity, modulation wheel, and nearly all macros are assigned. Great care went into making sure these presets sound dynamic and lively when played on a midi keyboard. There is also a MIDI expansion version which contains 17 presets of over 70 merged patterns, a ton of awesome leads and pads from the audio showcases for an additional $5.

Oh quite a few already. Alas Parawave doesn't allow Favouriting yet, but quite a few already caught my ear.
I definitely prefer this to your previous two Rapid banks that I have (and don't tell Parawave, but I think I prefer this to the factory bank too :))

Btw they way they are some patches (found a few in Lead for instance) where your description of the patch says what modwheel does, but it does nothing and when I trace it down it is assigned in the mod matrix but has a value of zero.
Was that done on purpose?

As an example:

Nope! I went back and tweaked them, plus added some extra goodies beyond the cutoff. Should be much more interesting now. I'm uploading it now and will send it over when it's done.
