X-Wheel of Fortune 4: Discover New Horizons of Musical Creativity
In a world where standard instruments seem limited, X-Wheel of Fortune 4 emerges from the legendary developer HG Fortune. Welcome to a world of unpredictable but harmonious sounds with this unique VST instrument. This is not just another synthesizer or drum machine, but a complete integrated algorithmic music system, created specifically for inspiration and generating completely original tracks and soundscapes.
Forget about routine programming and searching for ideas in template approaches! X-Wheel of Fortune 4 allows you to create complete musical compositions or complex, adaptive accompaniments for live performances, using up to 8 different instrumental parts that interact with each other. Each preset in this powerful plugin is not just a set of sounds, but a potentially complete musical idea that already contains structure and development, ready for further refinement or use “as is”.
Intelligent Generation Modes
At the heart of X-Wheel of Fortune 4 is its intelligent system, which works on the basis of complex algorithms and offers two main, contrasting modes of music generation that satisfy different creative needs:
- Algorithmic Wheel mode: This mode is ideal for creating free-flowing, organic, non-linear musical structures. It generates patterns and melodies that constantly evolve, creating a sense of unpredictability and live improvisation. This is great for ambient, experimental music, or creating background textures.
- Scale step mode: In contrast to the “Wheel”, this mode allows you to generate harmonically structured compositions. You choose the main tonality and scale (from a huge list available), and the plugin generates musical phrases and patterns that correspond to these rules. This mode provides much greater predictability and control over harmony, making it convenient for creating basic melodies, bass lines, or chord sequences in more traditional musical genres.
Rich Sound Palette and Unlimited Expansion Possibilities
X-Wheel of Fortune 4 comes with an impressive and carefully selected library of built-in sounds, including:
- 180 high-quality PCM waveforms: These unique samples were masterfully taken from the archive of previous, very popular HG Fortune developments, such as STS-26, ProtoPlasm21 and ‘shuniji’. They serve as the main sound base for Pad synthesizers, offering rich and atmospheric textures.
- Around 200 various drum and percussion instruments: A large and flexible collection of rhythmic sounds that allows you to create any beats and percussion patterns, from classic to experimental.
But the real power of X-Wheel of Fortune 4 is revealed thanks to its impressive expansion and integration capabilities of your own sounds:
- Loading Sf2 (SoundFont) files: You can easily import your own collections of sound fonts. This allows you to use any instruments and sounds in Pad synthesizer parts, significantly expanding the available sound palette to literally unlimited sizes.
- Loading wavefiles (Wavefiles): Add your own recorded sounds, samples, or entire loops to use them in percussion parts. This opens the door to creating completely unique and personalized drum kits and rhythmic elements.
- More than 250 built-in scales: An incredibly rich selection of scales, modes and musical systems for Scale step mode. This is not limited to just major and minor, but includes exotic, jazz, ethnic and other modes, which opens up endless possibilities for harmonic experiments in any musical styles and genres.
