Description
Altair 4 - The SciFi Sounds Lab is best suited for creating soundtracks for movies or games in the genres of SciFi, Suspense, Horror, Fantasy and similar, that need special, spacey, wobbly FX sounds.
It can do more than these, e.g. bell-like stuff, and it even fits well in fairly conventional songs. Altair 4 is also an homage to the movie 'Forbidden Planet' from 1956, it being the first movie with a complete electronic soundtrack using sounds that could have been done with this plug-in. 2 oscillators with two sound-sources with one (B) driving the other (A) to resonate. Each oscillator with three mod inputs and extensive control options. 3 LFO: L1 (7 waves) with key restart on first key pressed, L2 (8 waves) and phase modulation. L3 (7 waves) with optional modulation by sub LFO. 2 hidden LFO: L12 = mix of L1 and L2, L13 = mix of L1 and L3. 1 Sample & Hold (6 modes). 1 VCA with AR EG (with pan for un-delayed sound at Rev section). 1 Main Volume with level control: fixed, Velocity, and even Aftertouch, or Wheel. 1 Delay (BPM-synced) and dedicated pan. 1 Bass Boost. 1 Reverb with predelay. 1 Hold button to hold last played key. 1 Joypad with 3 balls to control 6 destinations. 8 Voices. 256 Patches (2 Banks).

HG Fortune at his best
Altair was designed by HG Fortune (RIP) as an ambient and evolving textures synth. Primary use is for film scores and ambiances but can be integrated in a music project with a little work. Thanks to Gunther for this huge tool with an unique character.
I use it sometimes in my composition.
