X-Wheel of Fortune 3 (X-WoF 3) is a multipart integrated algorithmic VSTi music system
for creating tracks based on 8 instruments-parts: Pad 1 synthesizer, Pad 2 synthesizer,
Bass synthesizer, Hi Sq Synthesizer, Kick, HiHat, Perc3 to Perc5 and Variable Atmospheric Oneshot Sq.
Each patch/preset may be a complete musical track, a track for backing a live performance etc.
All this can be arranged in two different ways using the algorithmic Wheel mode for free floating
or the Scale step mode for harmonically prestructured tracks.
There are more than 80 selectable PCM waves for the Pad synthesizers, over 200 Percussion
instruments and drums. In addition wavefiles can be loaded at pad parts and for percussion.
Also featured is an inbuilt quickhelp system covering the most needed topics including
a quicktutorial with resp. patch.
It's a tool for incredibly easy track creation for many types of electronic music.
