MHC Fatsondo v2.0 VSTi WiN

Team BEAT | 17 February 2004 | 3.79 MB

Fatsondo is one of very few VST instruments (and AudioUnits), which has been tailored made for the creation of fat sounds. And it has a built-in chorus, flanger, stereo delay, comes with 64 factory patches and a 17 page manual (Adobe Acrobat). Fatsondo got a 5 star award at the Softpicks network and has been rated high on other sites (for example Srialware River who rated it 5 out of 5 and FileHungry.com who gave it 4.5 out of 5).  On Windows Fatsondo was tested with Cubase SX 1.02, Cubase VST 3.7 and 5.0, Muzys 2.11, Orion Pro 3.03, Acid Pro 4.0, Magix Music Studio 7, Audio Mulch 0.9 and SONAR 2.0 using the ToneWise DirectiXer and FXpansion VST-DX adapters. It should work with all VST compatible hosts as long as they follow the VSTi spec.

Features :
Fatsondo is, compared to other plugins, an unusual synth in the sense that it has a couple of features, which are not always seen in the more traditional VST instruments and AudioUnits. For example it has a chaos oscillator, filter banks, a flanger with a random mode and performance keys. The main features are a polyphonic unison mode, a unique processor module, which can switch between different functions, a warm and resonant lowpass/highpass filter, 3 oscillators per voice (which can be extended with the unison function) and built-in effects.

Oscillators
Fatsondo has 3 oscillators per voice, which can be further multiplied using a unique polyphonic unison mode. For example, you might create a patch, which is based around 3 oscillators. Then the Unison section can be used to go one step further and multiply these settings, creating even more multiples of these, say 6 or 9 oscillators per voice. Each group can further on be detuned. Thus, the detune slider works as a detuning setting for each group of the three oscillators. However, the synth is quite powerful even without this nice feature. Incredibly thick and fat sounds can be created using just say 2 or 3 oscillators per voice in combination with say the envelope controlled flanger, the chaos oscillator or some of the processor’s filter banks.

Resonant Lowpass Filter
There’s a traditional resonant lowpass/highpass filter, with an envelope, in Fatsondo. As in most synths, it has settings for cutoff and resonance etc, but in addition it also features an LFO of its own. It can be used to modulate the plugins cutoff frequency.

Multi mode Processor
Fatsondo contains a unique processor, which can switch between different functions such as formant filters, filter banks, a chaos oscillator, ring modulation and pitch shifting etc. The processor can be modulated using its dedicated envelope. For odd effects, the envelope can be inverted. The processor module can also be modulated using Fatsondo’s Performance Keys.

Performance Keys
With the Performance Keys, the user can play the characteristics of the processor. For example, if the processor operates in filter bank mode, then the sound of the filter bank can be modulated by playing the keys on the lowest octave of the keyboard.  If you’re capable of playing with both of your hands, then you can modulate the processor by pressing these keys with your left hand and performing a solo with your right hand. Or you can program the performance keys in your sequencer afterwards of course.

Built-in Effects
On top of all these features, the plugin has built-in effects, which can be programmed for each patch. The effects are chorus, flanging and stereo delay. The flanger has its own LFO, but if the processor is switched to flanger mode, flanging can be controlled by the processor’s envelope.

Evolution – algorithmic editing
Fatsondo makes it possible to create patches by using the Evolution section. Basically, you select a preset and then get instant access to 16 variations of it. By choosing which of the variations you like and generating a new generation of sounds (variations) based on these ones you can refine the patch step by step until you have found one, which you like.
