Sound Dust Releases Pendleonium4
After a period of evolutionary advancement, Sound Dust launched the new PENDLEONIUM4. Compared to the Version 3 Sound Dust did redesign the control panel. The modern look is clear and deliberate and the layout of instruments and functions is intuitive and user friendly. A total of 6 sampled source instruments are arranged left to right across the main panel – two baritone guitars, two infinity guitars, Spring Viola, and an additional instrument based on samples created with a vintage Roland Space Echo.

Each individual source instrument comes with considerably improved editing tools, offering wave shape, ADSR, effects, and volume. To the right of the instrument panel is a dedicated editing bay offering yet more capability. Here you will find reverb and delay sends, reverb, rotor, EQ, and dirt for gnarly lo-fi effects.
A second interface window can be opened for velocity and round robin.
The best thing about the Pendleonium4 is playing it. With its unique sounds and easy editing, Pendleonium4 is an absolute pleasure to perform and tweak as you go. It must be stated that this instrument is not attempting to sound like anything else or even to offer any faithful reproduction of its source instruments.
It is a Pendleonium and as such, it sounds like only a Pendleonium can.
