H.G. Fortune has released X-Wheel of Fortune 4, a multipart integrated algorithmic VSTi music system for creating tracks based on 8 instruments-parts.
Each patch/preset may be a complete musical track, a track for backing a live performance etc. All this can be arranged and composed in two different ways using the algorithmic Wheel mode for free floating or the Scale step mode for harmonically prestructured tracks.
New in v4.0 (free) / v4.1 (pro)
- 180 PCM waves (taken from STS-26, ProtoPlasm21 and ‘shuniji’) for the Pad synthesizers.
- More than 250 inbuilt scales (Pentatonic, Hexatonic and Heptatonic).
- GUI completely reworked for better overview and usability – now: switching between to pages only!.
- new and more efficient soundengines for Pad 1, Pad 2, Bass & HiSq Synthesizers.
