With the integrated 3D engine, you can create unbelievable sounds unlike any other synth, and even enjoy them with traditional stereo headphones thanks to binaural support. And you can enjoy wide-ranging traditional synthesis with subtractive filters, a huge modulation matrix, and support for modern FM synthesis.\u003cbr\u003eSkyDust 3D includes a complex yet intuitive arpeggiator section with polyphonic sequencing, parameter sequencing, seven arp modes, and forced scale shifts, for sequences that properly match your composition. You can use pitch effects to create unique sounds, and the included mixer and sound effects allow you to add up to four effects at once and balance your oscillators for the perfect sound. This virtual instrument is available in AAX, AU2, and VST3 formats for Windows and macOS computers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMultiple Presets\u003cbr\u003eNo time to program a synth?

All by using an EG with the integrated 3D renderer.\u003cbr\u003eSpatial LFO\u003cbr\u003eNotes moving everywhere, with azimuth and elevation controlled by LFOs. Give your LFOs a new, three-dimensional life.\u003cbr\u003eIndependent Oscillators\u003cbr\u003eEach oscillator can have its own spatial settings, with independent starting positions and movements, for fantastic 3D sounds.\u003cbr\u003eMovement Modifiers\u003cbr\u003eUse movement modifiers to obtain interesting movements in a fast way, from crazy rotations to smooth movements.\u003cbr\u003eDivergence\u003cbr\u003eDo you want all notes to start in the same spot, or should the synth create slight positional variations between notes? With SkyDust 3D, the choice is yours.\u003cbr\u003eDolby Atmos\u003cbr\u003eSkyDust 3D is able to output audio in numerous multichannel formats, from 5.1 to 9.1.6, perfect for your Dolby Atmos music.\u003cbr\u003eAmbisonics\u003cbr\u003eAmbisonics users will love the fact that SkyDust 3D supports up to 6th order Ambisonics.
