Where's my Protoplasm?

German soft-synth manufacturer HG Fortune Synthesizer recently released two new, sleek, silver VSTi's for your morphing, atmospheric pleasure. The Protoplasm looks like an interesting concept allowing controllable transitions between three sample players to create atmospheric evolving textures.

One interesting feature of this appears to be the SMOD controller which will allows the oscillators to act as a modulation source for many of the parameters, or at least that's how I read it. The FM parameters on the two filters also look interesting.

This synth comes in a free and a pro version, with the pro version allowing more wave types as oscillators, and more voices.

The free version is available at http://www.hgf-synthesizer.de/.

The other synth that was released is the STS 24 which again seems to be a synth that builds atmospheric textures by fading between the oscillators. The modulation sources are different to the first synth, but it allows 4 oscillators and a method of transition that includes a "Torsion" control that ring and cross modulates the oscillators.

Functionally the two synths look similar with the STS-24 having more of everything and a more complex modulation system.

Again, a free and a pro version is available.

If the GUI's are anything to go for, these will be great for chrome plating my tunes :)
