Homegrown Sounds Ammonite, virtual synth from Astralis series

Homegrown Sounds has released a beta version of Ammonite, a virtual synthesizer instrument for Windows.

I’m pleased to announce the release of Ammonite, the latest Astralis Synth which builds on Bion but with a lot more power and functionality. Firstly, the TerraNova effects engine has been included which gives the synth a unique, diverse and powerful effects section.

Ammonite features (in comparion with Bion and Orgone)

Modulation Matrix – Now has 7 destinations.
Terranova FX Engine – Has up to 5 effects at once, 3 General purpose Modulators which can be many effects such as Flanger, Phasers, Pitch Shift, Filters, Mod Delays, Chorus, FM etc… Also includes SoundScaper, Stero Delay, Compressor, Drive with 4 modes, Graphic EQ, HIgh/Low Excfiters, Low Cut, Hi Cut and drag and drop Routing.
A second LFO – Has two dedicated Destinations, used outside of the Modulation Matrix.
Vibrato – With adjustable time and level, with a selectable source controller.
Modulation Destination Quantizers – Allow each Modulation Matrix destination to quantize the signal to a defined amount, for glissando type effects.
