for a large variety of pads, soundscapes, athmospheres or related FX sounds but can do other sounds like e.g. certain kinds of basses too. The 16 Step Modulator allows sounds to be fairly rhythmicated in various ways if wanted. Also you can have one section stepmodulated while the other is not as there are two complete sections with oscillators, modifiers, VCA EG, Delay, Pan and Reverb send, plus a grain processor and a filter to be inserted via different audio routings. In addition there are a lot of modulation options you might select from in order to taylor your sound. Twelve Tutorial patches have been created in order to help you exploring this synth. Ver 1.2: six selectable skins: Grey, Blue, Dark, Black, Metal and Steel Quote: Sound Sound wise the majority of the presets are in fact drones and pad like sounds. But this is where this instrument excels at. Also contrary to its competitors the sound of this instrument doesn't sound sterile or analytical. It's more close to a older hardware version which has the imperfections which gives it its charm. It has this crude digital grainy sound almost drowning in reverb. Hence why I compared it to the Wavestation. Because it sounds more like a Wavestation than the Korg Wavestation plug-in to me.

Two CDs recorded live by Dimitri Schkoda aka Inner Dreamer featuring Avatar ST VSTi Synthesizer only (no further FX used) And there is even one more free album by Steven Grace named Flow Flow is an experiment - unconventional music from an unconventional synthesizer. In March 2011 I discovered music by InnerDreamer (Dimitri Schkoda) that was created using only Avatar ST, I decided to create my own music using Avatar ST; Flow is the unexpected result. When I started working with Avatar ST I only wanted to find out what I could do with it. After I created 10 musical ideas the first day I started thinking about making an album. Unlike my other music, Flow was done very quickly. It was recorded during four sessions in March 2011 and was mostly improvised, with some editing afterward Flow by Steven Grace Note: This music is released under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Have Fun H.
