What is SkyDust?

SkyDust 3D is the first spatial synthesizer plugin in the world, which allows you to play a note and get instant 3D sound in any immersive format. It’s fantastic for stereo and exceptional in 3D.   

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 that we have 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 Generators

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 LFOs.

Independent Oscillators

Each oscillator may have its own spatial settings, with independent starting positions and movements, for fantastic 3D sounds.

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 our Binaural engine.

Ambisonics

Do you use Ambisonics? Great, because SkyDust 3D supports up to 6th order Ambisonics.

Special Panner

We 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 our 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 our 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 our 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.
