Essential Information About Sektor Software
- Polyphonic wavetable synthesizer with a hybrid engine (wavetable + multisamples) delivering a massive sound with low CPU load.
- Ultra-smooth modulation via drag-and-drop with envelopes, LFO, ADSR, and an "Expression" page (velocity, aftertouch, etc.).
- Advanced unison "OSC+": per-voice control of waveform, phase, pitch, panning, level, and detune.
- Two built-in effect racks and MPE compatibility for expressive playing and a visual workflow.
What Sektor Is For
"Sektor" is a virtual instrument designed for modern sound design: punchy basses, sharp leads, evolving pads, bright plucks, or cinematic textures. Its intuitive modulation chain and advanced unison make it an ideal choice for EDM, trap, hip-hop, urban pop, dubstep, DnB, and scoring. Both beginner and experienced producers quickly achieve professional results.
Main Features
Hybrid Engine and Advanced Editing
Combine wavetable synthesis with the multisample engine from "Heat Up 3" to blend realism and digital aggressiveness. The integrated wavetable editor allows you to import, create, and sculpt your own waveforms for a unique sonic signature.
Real-Time Modulation & Expression
Assign envelopes and LFOs via drag-and-drop or through the contextual menu. The "Expression" page grants access to velocity, aftertouch, and other sources to animate every parameter musically, with permanent visual feedback and helpful tooltips.
OSC+ Unison for Massive Layers
Create up to 16 unison voices per oscillator and shape each voice individually: waveform, phase, fine tuning, stereo width, level, and detune. Achieve wide pads, supersaw leads, or dense basses without stacking tracks.
Creative Effects and Routing
Two effect racks include reverb, delay, distortion, chorus, phaser, trance gate, compressor, stereo shaper, and 4-band EQ. Rearrange effect order by drag-and-drop to instantly reshape tone and dynamics.
Interface, Customization, and Sequencer
Customize the interface (colors, backgrounds, skins) and speed up your workflow with the integrated sequencer/arpeggiator to create patterns and rhythmic variations. Add your own samples, create presets and packs to share.
Library and Extensibility
The factory library offers over 750 presets, 200 wavetables, 100 multisampled instruments, and more than 250 samples, as well as sequencer presets. Expand your collection with official or third-party expansions. Lifetime updates included.
