The story behind the real, original H.G. Fortune dates back to the early 1800s. Fortune was a publishing tycoon and became heavily involved in philanthropy, but one day, he was found murdered in his mansion parlor in a case that was never solved. To this day, his mansion is deserted, and it is said that his ghost still haunts the place.

Nowadays, the name H.G. Fortune has been adopted by a musical software enterprise, and this H.G. Fortune just released the STS-33 which stands for Space Transition Synthesizer. It's packed with atmospheres, soundscapes, pads and textures presented in a no-nonsense interface.

One unique feature is that the STS-33 contains 10 "Lazy" Buttons. These buttons aren't only for the lazy, but also neurotically indecisive people like me who rely more on chance than anything else. They randomize different sets of parameters for instant programming.

The STS-33 also incorporates a transition method and a super modulation X/Y control pad. These give you actual control in case you don't want to leave your tone in the hands of the sometimes cruel spires of fate.

Fast Features:

• The basic features: New: Super Modulation X/Y Control Pad to modulate up to 8 destinations simultaneuosly!
• New: Step Modulator -- even driven by keystroke on non legato play
• New: Enhanced LFO Section with 6 LFO and SH&H with 5 being syncable to keystroke
• New: Frequency Split -- have lower fequencies to midposition (enhancing bass!) while the freqs. above can be panned
• Four digital PCM-wave oscillators powered by 128 selectable waveforms (256 waves in Pro version!)
• Two resonant filters (24db Lowpass and 12 db Highpass)
• Three ADSR-style envelope generators
• Two output channels (F & D) with LoBoost, Saturate, Delay (+ modulation) and Pan to stereo sum
• 10 dedicated Lazy buttons
