Description
The synthesis-versus-sampling debate has a practical answer: it depends which side the character lives on. In Fraction, the character lives in the recordings. Eraform Audio and Prototype Audio built this instrument around multisampled hardware sources, then engineered the playback layer – velocity mapping, filtering, modulation – that turns raw recordings into a responsive musical instrument. The architecture is honest about its trade-offs: enormous library, small preset files, and tone that originates in circuits rather than code.
MixMasterPlugins offers it at €49.99 instead of €99.00 – 50% off – with your own license key and a secure download link sent to your email.
The architecture, and why it matters in a mix
Because the source is recorded hardware, Fraction’s sounds arrive pre-colored in the way analog gear colors things: slight tuning drift across the keyboard, harmonic content that shifts with velocity, noise floors that glue layers together. In a mix, this means less corrective processing – the bass already has sub weight, the pad already occupies its space, the lead already cuts. The shaping engine gives you the control a session needs: filter and envelope response that feels like a synth, with source material that sounds like a record. Plan for disk space – the factory content is large, and anyone on a modest SSD should read the requirements first.

Session integration
Fraction behaves like a good session player: it shows up sounding right and stays out of the way. Total recall with your DAW project, consistent rendering across systems, and presets that translate between the writing room and the mix room. For producers delivering finished work, the recorded-hardware foundation means fewer surprises at mastering – the tone was finished before it left the instrument.

What do I actually get when I buy Fraction here?
The complete plugin with factory content, your own license key, and a download link sent to your email – the same full product, at 50% off.
How is this different from a modelled analog synth?
The tone comes from multisampled hardware recordings rather than oscillator algorithms – the character is captured, not computed.
What are the disk requirements?
It is a large library – check the requirements section before buying, particularly on smaller SSDs.
Mac and Windows?
Both, via VST3, AU and AAX.
Delivery?
By email, typically within minutes of checkout.
Circuits, recorded. At 50% off, analog tone has never been this accessible.
