Description: Astra has been in development for a long time and is a versatile software synthesizer capable of reproducing a wide range of unique timbres.
When we thought about creating this tool back in 2018, we wanted to provide the widest possible range of functionality – expanding the technical possibilities as much as possible – without making it overwhelming or unique. For me, the sweet spot with a tool comes when the creative process is simplified rather than complicated by too many options or menus.
Ultimately, the speed with which the end user can create high quality sounds is the most important factor with Astra; cumbersome preset load times and slow interface graphics are nowhere to be found. Almost all Astra functions can be viewed simultaneously in the open interface without having to navigate through complex menus or multiple tabs. The interface can be freely resized by dragging the lower right corner.
