Astralis C is the 3rd Synth from the Astralis VSTi synth pack and uses either 16 or 24 bit Mono/Stereo Samples as it's sound source. The Samples are stored in banks of around 50 in a custom samples folder which can be installed anywhere on your PC. Each folder in the main samples folder becomes a Bank of selectable samples from within Astralis. Astralis C also comes with 2 banks of High quality samples and a bank of 128 presets. All Astralis Synths are based on the same system and the shared synth features are listed here. Additionally Astralis C has the following features:

Astralis C Main Features
The major difference with Astralis C is that it allows custom samples to be used as the sound source. The samples are stored in Banks which are simply a folder containing samples within the installed samples folder. The only limit to the amount of samples within a bank is the characters which make up their names. Any samples beyond a thousand characters will not be visible inside Astralis. This is due to a limitation in Synthedit.
Astralis C can use Mono/Stereo 16/24 bit samples at any khz and there is virtually no limitation to size, although bear in mind that samples are loaded into memory. Also with large wav files loop points may not be represented accurately due to floating point calculations within Synthedit.
