SkyDust 3D is the first spatial synthesizer plugin in the world, which allows you to play a note and get instant 3D sound in any immersive format. It’s fantastic for stereo and exceptional in 3D.

Immersive version includes ALL OUTPUT FORMATS

Presets

Easy to use presets, with the power and flexibility of sub-presets.

Spatial

The fully integrated 3D engine allows you to create unbelievable sounds.

  • Imagine a Sequencer where you can pan each step note in 3D space... 3D arpeggios for everyone.
  • A note that starts at the back, attacks to the center, sustains at the right, and releases to the ceiling. All by using a EG with 3D render.
  • Notes moving everywhere, with azimuth and elevation controlled by LFOs.
  • Each oscillator may have its own spatial settings, with independent starting positions and movements, for fantastic 3D sounds.
  • Use movement modifiers, to obtain interesting movements in a fast way, from crazy rotations to smooth movements.
  • Do you want all notes to start in the same spot, or should the synth create slight position variations between notes?
  • SkyDust 3D is able to output audio in multiple multichannel formats, from Dolby Atmos to Ambisonics up to 6th order.
  • No immersive studio? Don't worry, use the synth with 3D sound over Headphones, using our Binaural engine.
  • Define your output format and snap your sound specifically to a speaker of your choose with ease.
  • We created a special 3D panner, that merges the advantages of sphere-based panners and cube-based panners.
  • Multiple 3D views, for you to see what is happening in terms of space: 360º view, top view, rear view, sphere view, and more...
  • Use our built-in HRTF datasets, or your custom SOFA file (with your HRTF profile), and you will have a great 3D experience with headphones.
