Fantasize is a high-quality sampler generator software that enables you to load SoundFont instruments and drum kit collections in SF2 format. This software is uniquely designed to create music on your VST Host, making it an ideal choice for sample composers. Its superior sample-playback engine ensures top-notch sound quality.
One of the central features of the software is the Load SoundFont button, situated in the middle of the interface. Simply click this button and select a SoundFont2 instruments/drumkits bank file to load (*.SF).
Another built-in function is the Bank section that enables users to set the patch (instrument) number to be played by the generator. Additionally, users can easily set the preset number to be used by Fantasize.
Another useful feature is the Instrument section, which shows the name of the selected instrument. Users can click this area to view a full list of all instruments and drumkits available in the currently loaded SoundFont collection.
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) is another section that offers modulation Depth, Frequency, and Offset. Meanwhile, the ADSR envelope generator includes Attack, Sustain, Decay, and Release parameters, as well as several modulation targets.
With the Distortion Unit, users can apply a wave distortion effect which maps input to output values using flexible spline-based graph. Users can distort input depending on a transfer function you can draw just by dragging the control points with your mouse.
In terms of MIDI functionality, the software includes a MIDI Channel selector and Master Volume control, along with a built-in Delay Effect (Feedback amount & Modulation knobs) and Reverb Effect (customizable with user controls for: size room, width room, damping factor & mix).
Another exciting feature is the Display Signals Harmonic Spectrum (Freq. analyser), which enables users to view on-screen MIDI keyboard that can be played with the mouse, or keyboard (Q is Middle-C, Z two Octaves lower). Users can modify the pitch transitions with the GLIDE control.
Finally, the software includes MIDI Automation, which means that MIDI Continuous Controllers (MIDI CC) are recognized and affect 15 parameters. Overall, Syntheway FAN is an impressive piece of software for musicians and music producers.
