A percussive Drumsound I made with Reaktor 5's Steampipe 2 Ensemble is processed in this patch. Channel A processes the sample with a Waveshaper and a Supercomb Filter, Channel B carries the same sample without the Supercomb. Crossfade between the Channels using the Modwheel and control the release time with Macro 1. A Ringmodulator in the Master section can be added using Macro 5 assigned to it's Balance. The Ringmod Pitch is controlled with Macro 6 and also via Velocity. The Resonator in the FX section is controllable with Macros 9/10 (wet / time).

new upload: Heatwave
Absynth 5 only - filesize 4,2 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and two samples (wav/48khz/24 Bit - 1 stereo and 1 mono) This patch processes two cricket samples, one recorded some years ago in the Tuscany the other one some days ago when trying to capture a thunderstorm (which didn't quite make it) following an incredible heatwave. Channel 1 carries the more recent recording, actually the cricket was barely audible in the sample which mainly consisted of wind and distant rumbling so I used iZotope's RX to isolate the cricket sound. The Oscillator runs in Granular mode, time set to 5%. Control the Random Frequency parameter with the Modwheel. An LFO and velocity controlled Allpass Filter and a Ringmodulator process the signal, turn up Macro 7 to hear the Ring Modulation. Channel B carries the looped Tuscany crickets in normal Sampler mode. The signal is also processed by a Ring Modulator, it's Balance is also assigned to Macro 7. Channel C carries a waveshaped Sine Wave to add some more tonal body to this patch, processed by a LFO-controlled LPF 8 Pole Filter. Each Channel has a Macro assigned to it's volume (Macros 1-3). In the Master section a Cloudfilter adds some shimmering, Filter Quantization is controlled with Macro 5. Absynth's sample engine is reknown for it's bad aliasing artefacts when transposing samples, especially downwards so a key controlled LPF 8 Pole Filter reduces some high Frequencies in the lower regions of this patch. You can also control the Cutoff with Macro 6. The Aetherizer in the FX section adds a mysterious space and can be tuned down an octave with Macro 10.

3 samples (C0-C2-C4) I made with a combination of Reaktor and Alchemy split and spread out over the entire keyboard range. All Oscillators are set to Granular mode, control the sample speed with Macro 1 and the release time with Macro 2. Processed by Cloudfilters (Balance assigned to Macro 5) with LFO-cotrolled Filter Hz and a Lowpass Filter that rises in the attack phase if you turn Macro 7 down which is assigned to the first Breakpoint of the Filter Rise. Enhance the Filter Resonance with Macro 8. A Supercomb Filter in the Master section can add more body and strangeness to the sound if you turn up it's resonance with Macro 6. The following LFO-morphed Ringmodulator can be made audible by turning up Macro 3 which is assigned to Ringmod Balance. The Modwheel activates a temposynced LFO-pulsation. Macros 9-12 control various parameters of the Aetherizer in the FX section. Check the envelope, Midi and LFO page for further modulation sources and targets.

This patch processes a recording of chattering kids and teenagers in a verby gym which I recorded years ago during a workshop. All Oscillators are playing in Granular mode, A+B play the entire sample, sample playhead position/speed are controlled by envelopes. Osc C plays a looped fragment back and forth, the scream of a girl. With Macro 1 you can control the Breakpoints of the sample envelopes, so you can speed up the samples by 75%. Channels A+C process the sound using Supercombfilters with a negative Feedback transformed by a LFO-morphed Frequency Shifter in the FB section. Control the Balance of the Freq Shifter with Macro 2. Channel C also has a Waveshaper inserted, control the Input level with Macro 8. Channel B uses a HP Filter to reduce some low Frequencies. In the Master section you'll find another Waveshaper and a Cloudfilter, a slow LFO assigned to it's Balance. Control the Cloud Filter Hz parameter with Macro 3. Macros 5-7 control the individual volumes of the 3 channels, Macro 4 is assigned to the Attack time. The Modwheel controls a randomized Pitchmod of all Oscillators. The Aetherizer in the FX section adds a big space, Macros 9-12 are assigned to various FX parameters. Check the envelope and LFO page for further modulations sources and targets.

Two virtual steel string samples I made with AAS String Studio (actually for my new Kontakt Patch Steel String Monster which will be available soon) run through various Tubes and Saturators. Keyboard split happens at C3. These samples are both run through a Supercomb Filter with it's Feedback modulated by an envelope controlled Frequency shifter (the Feedback is very velociy sensitive) and then through a Waveshaper. The LPF 4 Pole in the Master section is also very velocity sensitive. An Aetherizer in the Master section adds a huge space controllable with 3 Macros. You can also control the Sample speed with Macro 1, Release time with Macro 2 and the envelope break point for Sample Grain size with Macro 5, turning this Macro down will make the samples sound very gurgly. The Modwheel is assigned to LFO1 Master depth which adds a strange Pitch- and Combfilter Frequency modulation.

Absynth 5 only - filesize 18 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and two samples (wav/48khz/24 Bit)
I had an extensive sample session yesterday draging rubber balls over various metal objects and hitting a big metal plate with those balls. Chan A carries a sample containing various hits in temposynced, retriggered Sample jump mode. The sequence was programmed at 60 BPM, the higher you play the sound the less the sample jump sequence will become effective as the hits in the recording will actually play before the next sample jump point comes in. This sample is then processed by a velocity sensitive Cloud Filter (Modwheel assigned to Balance) and a LFO-morphed Ringmodulator (Macro assigned to Balance). Chan B carries a sample in Granular Mode (Playhead position controlled by a temposynced, retriggered envelope) dragging a rubber ball over that beautiful plate processed by a Comb Filter (Reso assigned to Modwheel) and a LFO-morphed Frequency Shifter (Feedback assigned to Modwheel, velocity controls Mod Pitch). Both Channels have Macros assigned to their volumes.
In the Master Section a LFO-morphed Waveshaper adds strange Distortions (turn the WS off if you prefer a clean sound) and a LPF 8 Pole FIlter (Cutoff assigned to a Macro) gives you control over the high Frequencies. The Aetherizer in the FX sextion has Macros assiged to Wet Balance, Grain duration and Feedback amount so you can vary the space size/amount. The Random Pitch Parameter in the Aetherizer is assigned to a looped envelope in order to add occasional detuning of the space. The Patch uses a microtonal Tuning (8ve/24 - semitone=quatertone). Check the Midi and LFO page for further Modulation sources and targets.

A Cloudfilter adds some galactic shimmering (quantized Cloud Grains) which you will only hear if you turn up the Modwheel. A LFO-morphed Waveshaper then deconstructs the signal. Chan B in normal Sample mode is processed by a LFO-controlled Supercomb which adds voicelike screaming textures. Chan C in normal Sample mode hits the Master section unprocessed. All Channels have a Macro assigned to their volumes. The Attack time of all samples can also be controlled with a Macro. A LFO-morphed Ringmodulator in the Master section can be added with the assigned Macro and a LPF 8 Pole Filter with envelope controlled Resonance cuts some of the high Frequencies. Control the LPF Cutoff with the assigned Macro. The wet/dry parameters of the Resonators in the FX section are controlled by temposynced envelopes resulting in a subtle pulsation of the space.

A LPF 8 Pole FIlter with high Resonance processed by a Waveshaper (control the Waveshaper's amount with the Modwheel) processes the signal before it hits a Waveshaper. Control the Cutoff of the LPF with a Macro. Chan B adds a kickdrumlike sequence processed by a Waveshaper and a LPF 4 Pole Filter. Chan C plays the same melodic sequence as Chan A, it's Amplitude is linked to the rhythm of the Kickdrum. In the Master section a Frequency Shifter and a Comb Filter do their job, control the Feedback of the Frequency Shifter and the Feedback of the Comb with the assigned Macros. Chan A+C have retriggered envelopes assigned to their stereo pannings. A short Multitap delay in the FX section adds some spaciousness. The individual Volume of all 3 sequences can be controlled with the assigned Macros.

Huge tonal Soundscape with very low Frequencies
Absynth 5 only - filesize 20,6 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and one sample (wav/48khz/24 Bit)
A recording I made during a recent workshop dragging rubber balls over various Gongs and low Tomtoms, some tinkling metal chains are also played in the second half of the sample. Osc 1 in Granular mode plays back the first half of the sample, Osc 2 uses the tinkling chain part. Both sample playheads are controlled by looped envelopes, a Macros is assigned to the first segment of the playhead's envelopes. The Sample's granular size is assigned to the inverted Modwheel. Osc A is processed by a Waveshaper and a Combfilter, Osc B by a Waveshaper and a Supercomb, Filter Feedback modulated by a morphing Frequency Shifter. Control the Filter Feedback with the assigned Macros. In the Master section another Waveshaper adds more density and a Ringmodulator with it's Balance, Pitch control and Pitch Modulation assigned to Macros can be added. The Aetherizer in the FX section can be detuned and pitched with Macros. Check the LFO page to check further Modulation sources and targets. Your Subwoofers will freak out about this one!

Absynth 5 only - filesize 8,2 KB - zip contains the ksd - no samples used
Chan A carries a selfdrawn waveform in Sync Granular Mode, processed by a Cloudfilter and a Supercomb. Chan B caries a Double Osc. the Balan ce between Main and Mod Waveform is controlled by a temposynced, squareshaped LFO. Osc B is then processed by an envelope controlled Bandpass and a LPF 4 Pole Filter. Chan C carries a drony, waveshaped sound, it's Volume is controlled with the Modwheel. A LPF 8 Pole Filter in the Master section (Macros assigned to Filter Cutoff Frequency and Feedback amount) with LFO-morphed waveshaped Filterfeedback processes the signal furtherly before it his the Resonators in the FX section, FX Filter Frequency controlled by a looped envelope.

Very warm and ethereal vocal patch
Absynth 5 only - filesize 5,1 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and two samples (wav/48khz/24 Bit)
Two female vocal samples from a recent project edited in Melodyne played back in Granular mode, Sample Playhead position and speed controlled by looped envelopes. Chan A carries a single note, Chan B carries a higher phrase singing a straight note and moving up a semitone, the samples are tuned in octaves. Both voices are processed by envelope driven Cloud Filters, the wet/dry Balance is controlled with the Modwheel. A Supercomb in the Master section can be added by using the assigned Macro which controls the Supercomb's ringmodulated Feedback. A tuneable Aetherizer space provides the neccessary spaciousness, make sure the assigned Macro for the Aetherizer's pitch is set to where you want it to be, otherwise the Patch gets all detund which of course can be very desirable. Both Channels have their volumes assigned to Macros so you can balance between the two voices.

new upload: Barrelscrape
Absynth 5 only - filesize 8,4 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and two samples (wav/48khz/24 Bit)
The sample of a big Barrel being dragged over a stone floor is used in Channels A+B in granular mode run through envelope controlled Waveshapers. The playhead position of the sample is controlled by looped envelopes. Chan B has a LFO-morphed Frequency Shifter apllied, the temposynced LFO 1 switches between Chan A+B, LFO amount is controlled via the Modwheel. Chan C carries a similar looped Barrelscrape sample in normal Sampler mod set to a fixed pitch, pitch controlled by a looped envelope. A Macro-controlled Supercomb and a Cloudfilter in the Master section process the sound furtherly before an envelope controlled Multicomb in the FX section adds the final touches. Check the Macro, Envelope and LFO page for further Modulation sources and targets.
