If interplanetary excursions are your thing, you will love Astralis, a synth to lose yourself in.

Astralis is packed with soundscaping features, an intuitive hands on professional sound design environment.Ideal for any style of music though particularly suited to Ambient, Psy, and styles requiring atmosphere. It is a tweakers synth though be warned whole nights can vanish very easily!

Aside from having 2 independent synths with dual and spectral oscillators, 2 cascadable filters (8x), 2 Modulation Sequencers, a Gate Sequencer (TranceGate), and a comprehensive FX section, Astralis also includes an impressive Microtonal Scale System. This system uses patches created using the included Microtonal Bank/patch manager. Custom scales of up to 24 notes can be created, and scale entry is designed with scala files in mind using either ratio or cent values. 160 patches are included as default including a wide selection of eastern tunings. Unlike many other microtonal systems Astralis does not rely on the pitch bend which remains fully functional.

Homegrown Sounds is known for producing unique pads/textures through its range of sample CDs and Astralis was designed to put this sonic creating power into the hands of the user, making complex sounds easy to produce and lots of fun in the process. The sonic potential of Astralis is huge and the synth has been painstakingly optimized. The user interface has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use, the controls being well organised in a logical manner.
