HG Fortune releases AlioNoctus VSTi Synthesizer

The new AlioNoctis VSTi Synthesizer by HG Fortune adds up many of the benefits from his prior ProtoPlasm, STS and Atonoise VST/i with the ease of use many still love with the STS-21. Soundwise it goes beyond all the aforementioned ones with vivid athmos, complex textures and pads but also some rhythmicated sounds, all of those can be enriched by the out-of-this-world flavour of Inferno, Spooks and of course the highly efficient Bass Enhancer. AlioNoctis a new milestone in the VSTi synthesizer development by HG Fortune.
