Presets
Easy to use presets, with the power and flexibility of sub-presets.
Multiple Presets
No time to program a synth? No problem; simply use one of the hundreds of presets available.
Random Presets
Looking for happy accidents, or endless combinations? Use the dice to create random presets, for infinite sounds.
Sub-Presets
With sub-presets, you can save/load only parts of the synth, and reuse them a lot: sequences, pitch effects, FM settings, spatial movements...
Easy Preset Selection
Large preset buttons on the main panel, allowing you to easily pick the right preset under the pressure of live concerts.
Filter Presets
Sometimes is hard to find that preset that you like. Filter presets by artist or sound type, to find them more quickly.
Random Lock
With random presets, sometimes you simply want to change a part of it. Lock the modules that you want to keep unchanged.
Spatial
The fully integrated 3D engine allows you to create unbelievable sounds.
Spatial Sequencer
Imagine a Sequencer where you can pan each step note in 3D space... 3D arpeggios for everyone.
Spatial Envelope
A note that starts at the back, attacks to the center, sustains at the right, and releases to the ceiling. All by using a EG with 3D render.
Spatial LFO
Notes moving everywhere, with azimuth and elevation controlled by LFO.
Independent Oscillators
sounds
Each oscillator may have its own spatial settings, with independent starting positions and movements, for fantastic 3D.
Movement Modifiers
Use movement modifiers, to obtain interesting movements in a fast way, from crazy rotations to smooth movements.
Divergence
Do you want all notes to start in the same spot, or should the synth create slight position variations between notes?
Dolby Atmos
SkyDust 3D is able to output audio in multiple multichannel formats, from 5.1 to 9.1.6, perfect for your Dolby Atmos music.
Binaural
No immersive studio? Don't worry, use the synth with 3D sound over Headphones, using the Binaural engine.
Ambisonics
Do you use Ambisonics? Great, because SkyDust 3D supports up to 6th order Ambisonics.
Special Panner
Sound Particles created a special 3D panner, that merges the advantages of sphere-based panners and cube-based panners.
3D Views
Multiple 3D views, for you to see what is happening in terms of space: 360º view, top view, rear view, sphere view, and more...
SOFA
Use the built-in HRTF datasets, or your custom SOFA file (with your HRTF profile), and you will have a great 3D experience with headphones.
Oscillators
Multiple oscillators and wave modifiers, to obtain fantastic sounds.
8 Oscillators
With 8 oscillators per voice, SkyDust will allow you to create rich and fantastic sounds, using subtractive, FM or hybrid approaches.
Polyphonic Synth
With up to 256 voices, the synth is able to play an huge number of notes. And if you need to past the limit, the synth will handle it gracefully.
Anti-Alias
With anti-alias technology, the synth will prevent the ugly artifacts typical of some digital synthesizers.
Waveforms & Noises
From traditional waves to crazy noises, pick the right waveform for your oscillators.
Waveform Modifiers
Use one of the multiple modifiers to create unique waveform sounds. Or link them with an LFO for even more interesting results.
Multiple EGs
Do you like ADSRs for everything, or do you prefer more complicated ones (e.g., DAHDSR)?
Arpeggiator
A modern approach to the Arpeggiator and Sequencer.
Arpeggiator + Sequencer
The Arpeggiator and the Sequencer will allow you to create fantastic note sequences for your new music piece.
Step Keyboards
With a keyboard for each step of the sequencer, for you to stop thinking about semitones, and simply create fantastic music.
Polyphonic Sequencer
Yes, old synthesizers only had monophonic sequencers, but with a polyphonic sequencer the results can be even more interesting.
Parameter Sequences
Add parameters to the sequencer to create even richer sequences, changing their values through time.
Arpeggiator Modes
Pick one of the 7 arpeggiator modes, add extra octaves, and get great results.
Major / Minor Chords
Wouldn't be nice for the sequencer to adapt to major/minor chords? Force a scale for the sequence to know when to play which.
Frequency Modulation
Add modern FM synthesis and create amazing sounds.
FM Operators
Do you prefer subtractive, FM, or hybrid? Use the 8 oscillators as 8 FM operators, and add filters on top for hybrid results.
FM Matrix
Create custom connections between operators with the FM matrix - the sky is the limit!
Operator View
Check the connections between operators on the operator's view, to make sure you are doing the right FM routing.
Filters
Subtractive synthesis, with independent filters, to obtain wonderful results
Filters
If you like subtractive synthesis, use filters (with EGs and LFOs) to obtain the sound you are looking for.
Oscillator Filters
Each oscillator may have their own filter, controlled by their own EG and LFO, allowing you to create even better sounds.
Keyboard + Velocity Mapping
Do you want your filters to adapt to the keyboard notes and their velocity? No problem.
Pitch
Use new pitch effects, to create unique sounds.
Pitch EG + LFO
From smooth vibratos to crazy pitch variations, each oscillator may have its own EG and LFOs.
Pitch Convergence
Use random pitch values on the Pitch EG to obtain amazing pitch convergence results (and in 3D).
Random Behaviors
Pick one of the available random pitch behaviors, to obtain very interesting results, from horror to enlightenment.
Effects/Mix
A Mixer and audio effects that help you to shape the sound.
Mixer
The mixer will be your friend: from Solo to focus on a single oscillator, to volumes to shape your sound, or simply to check levels.
FX Square
Use one of the 4 FX slots available to add effects like delay, reverb, EQ, bit-crusher, among others.
Dry/Wet
Control the dry/wet of each effect, to achieve the best results for your sound.
Matrix
The maximum flexibility for the ultimate power - anything is possible.
Matrix
Use the Matrix to use any parameter to control any parameter. Pitch-bend for elevation? LFO for resonance? Anything is possible.
Filter by (Source/Destination)
A matrix list can grow fast. Use "Filter by" to show entries by either the source (MIDI, LFO, EG) or destination (Spatial, Pitch, FM, etc.)
Curve Editor
Use the curve editor, to obtain even more control over the parameters - sometimes, the best results require fine-tuning.
Extras
Envelope Generators and LFOs are never too many.
Extra EGs
8 extra envelope generators, to use with additional parameters of the synth. Maybe a single EG to rule them all.
Extra LFOs
Additional 8 LFOs, for you to play with more parameters. Maybe you want to add some extra noise LFO on top of a regular vibrato.
Curve Editor
Use the curve editor with the extra EGs and LFOs, to fine-tune the desired sound.
All SkyDust 3D Panels
and more...
MPE Support
Use your Osmose, ROLI, or any MPE keyboard to fully control any SkyDust parameters.
Resizable Window
Feel free to resize your window, because the graphical interface will adapt: from extra small to extra large views.
XY Pads with Snap
Use 2 XY pads to control parameters easily. With snap (and snap time), the results will be even more interesting.
Mono/Legato
If you like monophonic synths, choose between "Mono" and "Legato", and adjust the glide time that you desire.
Macros
With 4 macros available, it's very easy to control multiple parameters at once. And "Macro A" it's the easiest to reach.
Virtual Keyboard
Sometimes, you don't have a keyboard, but you simply want to play synth sounds. Use the virtual keyboard and have fun!
