This is a new and completely rebuilt version of The Dreammachine featuring a largely increased functionality. Still it is a machine intended for slow motion providing complex evolving athmospheres and soundscapes. The concept of the Dreammachine is based on three synthlayers with slow wavesequencing and soundmodulations.

Version 3 of The Dreammachine has gone polyphonic now and can be used as a synth too, so there are three basic ways to play the machine:

1st using the inbuilt Note sequencer and if you like play along that one;
2nd Hold a note and if you like play along or edit;
3rd play the machine as 16 voice synthesizer with max. 6 oscs on one key.

In addition you can manually advance each part using MIDI keys/notes #24, #26, #28 and #29 plus #35 to advance synth parts simultaneously.
As the Note sequencer is hardlinked to the Bottom/Low Part this one will be advanced too.

There are three parts: Bottom/Low (or Bass), Back/Mid (or Pad) and Sparkle/High for three basic layers of sound plus a OneShot part to throw in some additional highlights such as vocal phrases, percussive sounds or Sfx. Each part has got a 16 step sequencer for waveforms to be played in succession with the One Shot part having 32 steps. The Note sequencer has an option to play even duophonic in adding a 2nd note selectable in 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 semitones up.

Also Back/Mid and Sparkle Parts can be set in semitones from -12 to +12. All in all you got very flexible means to set up sophisticated complex sound layers.
For most convenience the wave names are not only displayed at each seq step but also selectable from popup menus showing the names. And of course the famous HGFortune Lazy buttons are also present at each section or part (Pro version only) as small buttons marked with L

This is a versatile Rhythm machine for backing drums percussion so definitively not an 808 or 909 type thingie. It features 6 instrument parts / slots to choose from 512 inbuilt drum & percussions sounds. There are two step sequencers one for setting up the beat steps in groups of 4 x 8 steps (or 4 x half a bar) labeled A1, A2, B1 & B2, while the 2nd sequencers on the left allows you to control a sequence of the 8 step beat groups in 16 steps. Thus it is easy to get variations without having to program complete 16 step bars.
In addition to that there is an Auto Track Mute feature for tracks 4, 5 and 6 to have one or two tracks muted for a certain range.

The beat step sequencer does offer two additional features: StepMode and Play number of Beats i.e. Steps so you can have a 7/8, 6/8, 5/8 or even 3/8 beats while Step Mode changes the order of steps to play in jumping to every 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. step with setting at 7 steps playing the sequence backwards. This is a real playground
not only for the lovers of experimental rhythms.

The unit comprises 512 drum & percussion sounds in four banks which are sorted in a similar way:
1 – 16 = Kicks, 17 – 32 = HiHats, 33 – 46 = Snares, 47 – 52 = Toms, 53 – 62 = Cymbals,
63 – 66 = Tambourines, 67 – 75 = Shaker, Maracas etc., 76 – 80 = Rattles,
81 – 100 = Ethnic perc (Tabla, Udu etc.), 101 – 105 = Blips, Claps, 106 – 111 Conga, Bongo,
112 – 128 various percussion.

Waveshaper is a simple waveshaping plug-in with different shaping functions such as hyperbolic tangent (tanh), arc tangent (atan), hard clipping, saturation, fold-back distortion, as well as sine (sin) and sinc (sin(x)/x). The amount of distortion is controlled by the gain of the amplification prior to applying the shaping function (pre gain). The output level can be adjusted with a post gain slider.
