STS-33 features the Wave-Transition method best suited for atmospheres, soundscapes, pads & textures.

A straightforward user interface with 10 dedicated "Lazy"-Buttons for randomizing different sets of parameters makes programming easy. The Transition method plus the new Super Modulation X/Y control pad add a new dimension and motion for an evolving sound changing completely its characteristics.
  • 4 digital PCM-wave oscillators powered by 256 selectable waveforms.
  • 2 resonant filters (24db Lowpass and 12 db Highpass).
  • 3 ADSR-style envelope generators.
  • LFO Section with 6 LFO and SH&H with 5 being syncable to keystroke.
  • Step Modulator - even driven by keystroke on non legato play.
  • Super Modulation X/Y Control Pad to modulate up to 8 destinations simultaneously.
  • 2 output channels (F & D) with LoBoost, Saturate, Delay (+ modulation) and Pan to stereo sum.
  • 10 dedicated Lazy buttons.

It's awesome for Pads, Drones, Armospheres, but also for very 90s or early 2000s sounding Chords and stab Hits when you turn sustain down on some chord pads. Try out the other STS synths too, they all have different presets and PCM waveforms to play with. The first two have many very abstract and atonal Tones with sci-fi sounding patches. The newer ones have many different complex synth sounds, it's really worth listening through all of them. And when you discovered all the ones that you like and still don't want ro tweak all the parameters by Hand, then you can use the awesome Lazy Buttons for Oscillators, LFO, Filters or on everything and let the plugin generate new presets on it's own! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ and R.I.P. HG Fortune. Your synths are what amazed me about making electronic music on my own in the beginning many years ago. And I still use them with great fun to the day we speaking

Wonderful synth, great evolving textures, but it doesn't react to velocity (unless I'm missing a switch somewhere. Please tell me that's the case because I really want to use this, but no velocity is a dealbreaker.)

Try the AmpVel knob and the V on off switch.
