H.G. Fortune
has announced that three Pro versions of nearly

renaming & managing (Load/Save), wave selectors as
popup.
Internal Sf2 with 2 banks (incl. original bank for
patchcompability).

edition 2011) with some more tweaks:
patch selector, patch renaming & managing
(Load/Save), CG with free run / retrig mode,
different CG design showing current position, CG
with Soft-Stepped slider and more tempo options (1/1
to 1/64), wave selectors as popup, new knobs,
modified output section with a little reverb added.
Internal Sf2 with 2 banks (incl. original bank for
basic patchcompability).
LaserBlade features
a versatile sound-engine with modulatable XTorsion,
Filter FM (frequency modulation of filter like in
the Sequential synths) and a Metallize section. This
enables you to achieve quite 'sharp' or digital
sounds as well as a variety of short percussive Seq-sounds;
LaserBlade can also generate soft, bell-like sounds,
and more.
Features:
Two digital PCM-wave oscillators powered by
170 different waveforms.
Each oscillator has a Harm+ knob for
enhancing the upper harmonic structure.
XTorsion with selectable modulation source.
One filter (24db Lowpass with resonance).
Filter-FM feedable from both oscillators
separately.
Two ADSR-style envelope generators.
Three LFOs (one BPM-synced; one with 42
pattern-style waves; one with shapeable waves).
Metallize section for more metallic timbres
incl. two modulations.
BPM-synced Stereo-Delay.
The VST instrument plug-ins are
available to download for Windows PC.
