new upload: Meta Vox

Absynth 5 only - filesize 16,7 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and one sample (wav/48khz/24 Bit)
This patch processes a vocal sample I made for my Sound Bank Metaphysical Function Eternity. A one minute long ostinato on B2 sung by my wife Andrea, processed in Melodyne for formant shifting. It plays back in Granular mode, sample playhead controlled by a looped envelope. Velocity will determine the sample start point, the harder you hit the key the later the sample will start. Channel B+C add synthetic voices, please check the Controller page, as there are many ways to tweak this patch around.

new upload: Combchimes

Absynth 5 only - filesize 11,4 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and one sample (wav/48khz/24 Bit)
In this patch a Chime sample from my Kontakt Library Chimeland available on patchpool is processed in Channel A. The Osc is set to Granular mode, sample playhead controlled by a looped envelope. Control the time of the envelope breakpoints/sample speed with Macro 4. The pitch of the Chimes can be controlled with Macro 7. The sample is run through a Supercomb Filter with LFO controlled Feedback and a Cloudfilter, control the Filter Resonance with Macro 5 and the Cloud Balance with the Modwheel. Osc 2 runs in FM mode processed by a HPF and a Lowpassfilter, it's amplitude modulated via the the Audio Mod function by the loudness of the Chime sample. Osc C runs in Ringmod mode processed by LPF and a Cloudfilter. The Lopwpass Cutoff of Channels B+C are controlled by the inverted Modwheel. In the Master section an Allpass 4 Filter and a LPF 8 Pole Filter are processing the texture, control Allpass Cutoff with Macro 8 and Lowpass Cutoff with Macro 6. Macros 9-11 are assigned to the Resonators in the FX section. The individual volume of each channel is controllable with Macros 1-3. Please check the envelope and LFO pages for modulation sources and targets.

new upload: Cloud Scape

Absynth 5 only - filesize 19,5 MB - zip folder contains the ksd and one sample (wav/48khz/24 Bit)
This cinematic Soundscape uses a sample I made by sending 2 Soprano Sax phrases into 2 differently tuned Shimmer Reverbs, then processing the Shimmerverbs with crusherX and sending everything into Aether Reverb as well. Channel A carries the sample in Granular mode, sample playhead controlled by a looped envelope. A LFO-driven Notch Filter adds LFO-controlled sweeping to the sample, control Filter Resonance with Macro 6. Osc B in Double Mode is send through a LFO-morphed Frequency Shifter and a Cloudfilter. Control the Cloudfilter's Balance with Macro 5. Channel C also in Double mode adds a fat and warm Bass Drone processed by a Waveshaper and a LPF 8 Pole Filter. Control the Filter Resonance processed by a LFO-controlled Frequency Shifter with Macro 7. A Waveshaper in the Master section glues everything together and a LPF 4 Pole can reduce high frequencies if you tweak Macro 8. The Aetherizer in the FX section can be tuned up an octave with Macro 11. The Modwheel adds a temposynced square wave pitch modulation. The individual volume of each channel is controllable with Macros 1-3.
