Homegrown Sounds has released Cassetto, a synthesizer emulation for Kontakt with a unique character.
At its heart it has multi-sampled oscillators sampled from Cassette using the raw oscillators of an Analog Four synthesizer as the sound source. It is a full featured synthesizer with a built in preset system and the ability to save your own.
It makes full use of the larger GUI size (1000×700) that Kontakt 5.6 introduced, so that all parameters are on the screen to make creating sounds easy.
There is also an advanced Arpeggiator which runs as a standard ARP, but with an additional 6 sequencers for targeting parameters such as pitch, step length and pan. Each sequencer can have its own independent step size which can lead to some complex polyrhythms with little effort.
Cassetto is being launched with a ‘no brainer’ Group Buy for $14.99 and for every 50 people that sign up a free product of your choice will be added to the deal from the HGS Kontakt and Synth Preset Releases.
