Homegrown Sounds has released Astralis C, the 3rd synth from the Astralis VSTi synth pack.
Astralis C uses either 16 or 24 bit mono/stereo samples as it’s sound source. The samples are stored in banks of around 50 in a custom samples folder which can be installed anywhere on your PC. Each folder in the main samples folder becomes a bank of selectable samples from within Astralis. Astralis C also comes with 2 banks of high quality samples and a bank of 128 presets.
