Serenity is a synthesizer aimed at creating various choir and string pad sounds.
It is not meant to emulate a specific vintage string or choir machine, although you might find sounds resembling the flavours of the old machines.
Serenity is a fully fledged synthesizer with filters, LFO, various effects and the "Twin Etherify" effect. In addition the internal waveset has been carefully selected to provide you with a wide range of string, choir and vocal waves plus some more complex pad sounds. Most of these waves have been processed widely from prior versions and several new waves have been added.

If you google "Presets4HgFortuneEngines" and look for "NFG-SP" you'll be in for a pleasant surprise!

The best pad synth I've ever seen, maybe the best by H.G.F.

Amazing pad synth. You just can draw and drag a looooooong note in your DAW's piano roll and relax – the presets are production-ready and can be used for meditation or relaxation.

Hmmm tried it, not impressed at all, every patch is just a mixture of the others, most are very pale and lack depth with way too much reso. Nice interface but even that is too pale in color so that you're guessing what to tweak and what to leave alone. The very best string/organ vst I've spotted this week is the "night flight" vst which walks all over this thing...
I've heard some amazing music made with Serenity. A bad workman always blames his tools ;)
e mi consecto eres un pobre mediocre sin creatividad y al careser de creatividad y talento al no poder explotar tan genial erramienta y trabajo, te dedicas a la critica que mediocre eres, que tiene que ver el color de un aparato con su musica

Oh My God!! I bought the pro version the instant I heard it. Esline and Krakli S3 used to be my faves, but this is the most awesome sounding string machine I have ever used and I have used most of the VST's and quite a few real ones.
Same here. Needed full polyphony so I purchased Pro version right away - my only HG Fortune purchase. Glad I did since it looks to be NA now.

For a free synth, awesome features and sounds. Also there are some amazing realistic choirs, rare. :)
