Title: STS-24
Manufacturer: HG Fortune
The STS-24 plugin from HG Fortune is not just another virtual synthesizer. It’s a powerful tool for creating utterly unique soundscapes, atmospheric pads, and complex textures that come to life in your music. At its core lies the innovative Wave-Transition method, which allows sounds to evolve smoothly and unpredictably, adding depth, movement, and true originality to your compositions.
Unleash the Potential of Sound Transitions
The Wave-Transition method is the heart of STS-24. It goes beyond standard oscillator mixing, creating dynamic, ever-changing sounds. Imagine a texture slowly transforming from one state to another, revealing new harmonic shades and rhythmic patterns. This is the perfect tool for creating background music, ambient tracks, film or game soundtracks, and for adding atmospheric elements to any genre. Thanks to Wave-Transition, your pads and textures will never sound static or boring.
Simplicity and Depth: The Perfect Combination
Despite its unique sound design capabilities, STS-24 has an extremely simple and intuitive interface. Developer HG Fortune has ensured that the sound creation process is as enjoyable and quick as possible. The presence of three “Lazy” buttons is especially noteworthy. These buttons allow you to randomize different sets of parameters with a single click, instantly generating new and unexpected sounds. This is a great way to quickly get inspired or create complex textures without diving deep into programming details. But if you like precise tuning, the synthesizer offers all the necessary controls for full control over the sound.
Detailed Feature Overview
Under the hood of STS-24 lies a flexible architecture that allows you to create a wide variety of timbres:
- 4 digital oscillators operating on PCM technology. They provide access to a library of 127 diverse waveforms, from classic synth sounds to more exotic and experimental ones. This choice is a great starting point for any sound you want to create.
- X-Torsion function for oscillators. This function adds additional capabilities to change and deform the sound of the oscillators, allowing you to obtain more complex and interesting timbres.
- 2 resonant filters: 24db Lowpass filter and 12db Highpass filter. These filters are essential tools for shaping the timbre, allowing you to cut off unwanted frequencies or emphasize certain sound elements using resonance.
- 3 ADSR-type envelopes. They are used to control the dynamics of different aspects of the sound, such as volume, filter frequency, or other parameters. The presence of three envelopes gives great flexibility in creating complex movements over time.
- 2 LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators) with project tempo synchronization (bpm-synced). LFOs add modulation to various parameters, creating vibrato, tremolo, automatic filter or volume changes that are perfectly synchronized with the rhythm of your track.
- 1 additional LFO with variable waveform and 40 patterns, also tempo-synchronized (bpm-synced). This LFO is a real gem, allowing you to create complex, rhythmic, and unpredictable modulation patterns that can completely change the character of the sound, adding pulsation and movement to it.
- 1 Sample & Hold module, tempo-synchronized (bpm-synced). Sample & Hold creates random values at specific time intervals, synchronized with the tempo, which is ideal for generating unpredictable melodies, rhythmic sequences, or step-by-step modulation of parameters.
STS-24 by HG Fortune is an inspiring tool. Its unique Wave-Transition method, combined with ease of use and rich functionality, makes it a valuable addition to the arsenal of any musician or sound designer looking for new and original sounds. Immerse yourself in the world of ever-changing textures and atmospheres with STS-24.
