Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sound Particles 3Dust Collection for Windows? ▾
The 3Dust Collection is Sound Particles’ complete virtual instrument bundle for Windows — combining SkyDust 3D (the world’s first spatial polyphonic synthesizer with 8 oscillators per voice, 256 voices, and 30+ immersive output formats), GrainDust (a 4-layer granular synthesizer with 500+ samples, MPE support, and motion sequencers), and MiniDust (a streamlined dual-oscillator spatial synth with 9 FX types and 250+ presets) — all powered by Sound Particles’ Hollywood-proven 3D audio engine. Available as VST3 and AAX for Windows 10 and later.
What makes SkyDust 3D unique on Windows? ▾
SkyDust 3D is the world’s first polyphonic synthesizer with a fully realized 3D sound engine for Windows — you play a note and the sound instantly exists in three-dimensional space. With 8 oscillators per voice, 256 polyphonic voices, subtractive, FM, and hybrid synthesis approaches, 11 movement modifiers, and support for over 30 output formats including Dolby Atmos, 9.1.6, Ambisonics up to 6th order, and Binaural, SkyDust 3D gives you spatial audio as a creative tool — not just a mixing afterthought. Use MIDI aftertouch to control 3D position, LFOs to change elevation, or arpeggios that fly through space.
Does 3Dust Collection work in stereo or only immersive formats? ▾
All three synths in the 3Dust Collection work perfectly in stereo on Windows — and they sound fantastic in standard stereo. The 3D and immersive output formats are additional capabilities on top of full stereo support, not a replacement for it. You can use SkyDust 3D, GrainDust, and MiniDust in any standard stereo DAW session and get outstanding results immediately. The 3D features become available when your DAW and monitoring setup supports immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos or Ambisonics.
