H.G. Fortune Spills The STS-26 VSTi Synthesizer
H.G. Fortune has unmasked the STS-26 VSTi Synthesizer. The STS (Space Transition Synthesizer) -26 is meant for creating intricate, developing soundscapes utilizing their Transition synthesis philosophy.
The new STS-26 comes with a new set of 128 waveforms + 21 percussion loops for low octave loop play (LOP) as part of the synthsound. Also two Contour Generators have been added with a Realtime Hyperdraw function to create complex LFO-waves that result in lush pads and thick atmospheres.
New Features:
• Complete new soundset with 128 waves + 21 perc. loops
• Two contour generators can be drawn with mouse at realtime
• Stereo flanger with flexible modulations for depth and feedback per channel
• Both filters with Filter FM driven by selectable osc. source each
• Low octave loop play (LOP) as part of the synthsound
• Four PCM-wave oscillators powered by 128 selectable waveforms
• Two transition sections
• Two resonant filters (24db Lowpass and 12 db Highpass)
• Three ADSR-style envelope generators
• Two LFO (bpm-synced)
• One Sample & Hold (bpm-synced)
• Space rotation for sound rotating in stereo width
• Stereo Delay (bpm synced)

The H.G. Fortune STS-26 VSTi Synthesizer costs €39 for the 8 voice version. Now the versions/options get a little screwy… There’s a Free version with built-in internal waves that can’t be modified. The registered (paid) version comes as an open system i.e. the waves are supplied as SF2 file and wave files up to 24 Bit can be loaded into each Oscillator slot. The free version is supplied with 128 patches – the €39 Pro version comes with 384 patches. Sort the mess out for yourself at their horrendous website: H.G. Fortune STS-26 VSTi Synthesizer.
