new upload: Metal Space

Absynth 5 only - filesize 23,8 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and one sample (wav/48khz/24 Bit)
This patch processes a sample I made from timestretched metal sounds recorded in a workshop in my cellar, actually rummaging around in a box of screws, then isolating a segment of that recording and granulating/timestretching and filtering it in Alchemy. Then sending it through a huge Aether Cloud, then importing that into Kontakt and transposing it down 8 octaves. Channel A carries that sample in Granular mode, sample playhead position controlled by a retriggered envelope. The 90 second sample is played back in 8 beats of the host tempo creating a strange sort of loop. This is then processed by a Highpass and a Cloudfilter, both are envelope controlled. Channel B carries that sample also in Granular mode, sample playhead also controlled by a looped envelope but this time at about the original speed. Channel C in Double mode adds a synthetic sound processed by a Lowpass Filter with Filter Resonance processed by an envelope controlled Frequency Shifter.
In the Master section you'll find a LFO-controlled Waveshaper and a Lowpass Filter, then the signal hits the Aetherizer, random pitch of the FX is controlled by a LFO. Macro 1 controls the attack time, Macros 2-4 control the individual levels of each channel. Macro 5 controls the Cutoff of the Lowpass Filter in the Master section and Macro 6 the Input Gain of the Waveshaper. Macro 9 controls the level of the dry signal and the Modwheel adds random pitch modulation to Channel A+B and changes the frequency of the Mod Oscillator in Channel C. Check the envelope and LFO pages for further modulation sources and targets.

new upload: Come and go

Absynth 5 only - filesize 19,7 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and one sample (wav/44.1khz/24 Bit)
A Soprano Sax sample recorded in a church during one of my concerts processed with crusherX is used in Oscillators A+B in normal Sampler mode. Osc C uses a Single Wave which is processed by a Lowpass and a Cloudfilter. The samples are processed by various Filters and a Frequency Shifter in Channel B. Tune the Frequency Shifter with Macro 7 and turn up the waveshaped Resonance of Filter A with the Modwheel. A Supercomb in the Master section and a Highpass Filter process the signal furtherly. Control the Supercomb Resonance with Macro 5 and the HPF Cutoff with Macro 6. The Multitap Delay in the FX section has 3 Macros assigned (9-12). The individual volumes of all channels are adjustable with Macros 1-3. Please check the LFO and envelope pages for Modulation sources and targets.
