LaserBlade – Hybrid Synthesizer by HG Fortune
LaserBlade by HG Fortune is a powerful hybrid synthesizer that combines digital precision with unique sound-shaping capabilities. This instrument is designed for musicians and sound engineers seeking fresh, unusual sounds capable of cutting through a mix or creating atmosphere.
The plugin offers a multifaceted sound engine that includes innovative features such as modulated XTorsion, Filter FM, and a Metallize section. Thanks to this, LaserBlade can generate both sharp, “digital” timbres and percussive sounds in the style of classic sequencers, as well as soft, ringing or atmospheric textures.
Key features of LaserBlade:
- Hybrid sound engine with unique sound-shaping capabilities.
- XTorsion, Filter FM, and Metallize sections for advanced sound design.
- Wide range of sounds: from sharp and percussive to soft and ringing.
- Intuitive interface, despite the depth of functionality.
Detailed feature overview:
- Two digital PCM oscillators: The heart of LaserBlade is two digital oscillators, each of which has access to a large library of 170 different waveforms. This provides a huge palette of source sounds for experimentation.
- Harm+ control: For each oscillator, there is a Harm+ control that allows you to amplify the upper harmonic structure of the sound, adding brightness and saturation.
- XTorsion: The unique XTorsion function with the ability to select a modulation source allows you to dramatically change the character of the sound, adding interesting distortions and textures.
- Filter with Filter FM: The plugin is equipped with a 24db Lowpass filter with resonance. Special attention is drawn to the Filter FM (frequency modulation of the filter) function, which resembles the capabilities of classic analog synthesizers. Filter FM can be modulated from both oscillators separately, opening the way to creating complex, metallic and bell-like timbres.
- ADSR envelopes: Two standard ADSR envelopes provide complete control over the dynamics and time of sound development, allowing you to shape both short percussive hits and long, evolving sounds.
- Three LFOs: LaserBlade has three low-frequency oscillators (LFOs), which significantly expands the modulation capabilities: one LFO is synchronized with the project’s tempo (BPM-synced), the other offers 42 different pattern waves, and the third has shapeable waveforms. This allows you to create both rhythmic and complex, unpredictable modulation effects.
- Metallize section: The special Metallize section is designed to add metallic timbres to the sound, offering two additional modulation options for even greater flexibility.
- BPM-synchronized Stereo-Delay: The built-in stereo delay, synchronized with the tempo of your project, allows you to easily add space and rhythmic echo to your sounds, integrating them into the overall mix.
LaserBlade is ideal for electronic music, ambient, sound design, and any genre where fresh, unusual, and expressive synthesizer sounds are needed. Its unique features and flexibility make it a valuable addition to any producer’s arsenal.
