MORPH by Audiomodern - REVIEW
REVIEW
Audiomodern states it was created with a variety of synths, tape deck re-sampling, and outboard processing to achieve that lo-fi vibe. I can't agree with them more- it sounds so authentic and fresh. The thing about Audiomodern is they have a style that can't be duplicated for the most part. I have heard some sample companies try to get that glitchy, mutated, rhythmic sound but it never sounds quite as good as Audiomodern. Their beats and loops are beyond this world when it comes to their sound design approach. You hear things sampled that you would never think could be created into such a powerful catchy groove.
There are more than 160 Loops and 30 One Shots in this collection. The key and tempo have been labeled and if you want to hear every 24bit wav file then watch the video below I created. If you are looking for samples that have that lo-fi, retro but with a current sound - get this! Whether you're doing ambient, chill-out, synthwave, or composing a hot underscore, you will find something here.
One other thing I need to point out, is that I took some of the wav files and imported them into Iris 2 and the almighty Omnisphere 2. I created some absolute stunning killer patches with limitless possibilities. So, sample packs can be turned into a sound of your own and something never heard before. Morph by Audiomodern is original, full of unique sounds and loops with a price that's right.
5 out of 5 stars

6 Distinct Modules – Complete Control of Your Sound!
Each multi instrument in “Hypernode” is called a “style” and can be seen like a whole song complete with intro, chorus, verse and so on. You can edit any part, any section and / or sounds of each multi to your liking.You have an accompaniment section where you can play up to three-note chords, a drum section as well as additional parts like bass, pad and harmony.

All instruments offer flexible sequencers, automation, five freely assignable insert effect slots, convolution reverb and more, you can even modulate insert effect parameters via the included sequencers!
The accompaniment module features 64 simultaneously running sequencers! Each sequencer can run at its own rate, number of steps (up to 128) and act as a one-shot phrase if required. There are also eight switchable patterns – which results in a total of 512 sequencing tables for the accompaniment module alone!
Accompaniment & Bass Modules
Accompaniment ModuleThe Accompaniment module is by far the most powerful and the true heart of Hypernode. All the magic starts when you press more than one note at the same time (e.g. a three-
Hypernode Accompaniment will then instantly sort all pressed notes from low to high as you play and map them to the three built-
Each Hypernode Accomp note section (low, mid, high) features a selectable output FX BUS, a harmony hold function which causes the first pressed note(s) to stay at the same pitch as long as the “H” button is pressed.
Furthermore there is a table loop button and a set of functions to edit and modify the current table. You can also quickly nudge tables left or right and erase or randomize them.
Each note section offers control over the amplifier and filter envelope, panning, volume, velocity to volume amount, filter cutoff, resonance, filter type (sweeping from lowpass to highpass) and filter envelope amount.
Sounds for the individual note sections can be chosen by category – Atonal, Wave(form), String, Wind, Pluck and Voice. Each note section can play two sounds at the same time.
Did we mention that for each of the eight switchable patterns sounds can be set individually?

62% off “Diversion” Synthesizer by Dmitry Sches (VST/AU)- Limited Time Deal !
Diversion
“Diversion” Synthesizer is a versatile, high quality software synthesizer, designed for use in any genre of professional electronic music production.
Diversion takes the full advantage of modern processors to bring you the perfect sound quality that fits standards of hardware synthesizers.
Computer Music CM173 2012: "Very full feature-set, Impeccable sound quality, Plenty of ready to go presets, Sounds incredibly modern, Arguably unparalleled tonal controls, Pushes current technology to the limits". Score: 9/10 |
Sound generation
Diversion
offers 4 oscillators with a wide range of different waveforms with a
near to zero level of aliasing. The oscillators generate sounds in
real-time by using our algorithms, which don't degrade the sound quality
at high frequencies. All waveforms have two independent parameters X
and Y allowing you to adjust the timbre of the produced sound. The
oscillators also feature such synthesis techniques as FM, RM, wave
shaping and filtering.
Since version 1.2 Diversion offers comprehensive Wavetable Editor,
which allows to load arbitrary single cycle WAV files. With new
Wavetable Editor it is possible to edit waveforms both in time and
frequency space as well as apply different effects. Since version 1.3,
Diversion provides sample playback with granular synthesis and output
audio recording.Bus processors
Two
bus processors in Diversion allow you to transform the oscillators'
output into a wide variety of possible sounds. Each bus processor
consists of a stereo filter with lots of different modes, distortion and
LO-FI section. We have implemented many filter modes and types of
saturation stages to bring you a great armoury for creating arbitrary
patches, including popular Trance, Psy, Dub Step and Ambient sounds.
Effects
Oversampling
Typically, after a non-linear processing of the waveform inside the oscillators and bus processors, digital aliasing can occur. Diversion takes care of this by using oversampling up to 8X within a whole processing path, excluding FX section. Models of all processing modules in Diversion are designed using at least 2X oversampling. This allows Diversion to achieve a perfect sound quality with an insignificant level of aliasing.Modulation

65% off “The Everything Bundle” by Audio Verge
Zero Dawn: Cinematic Loops
Extensive processing of analog synths, custom Reaktor instruments and manipulated audio to create 100 cinematic loops, ranging from dark and gritty to unnerving and glitchy.
“Zero Dawn” has been designed for the modern composer. Presented in Kontakt, WAV and Apple Loops format, this library is comprised of many elements including:
- Pulses.
- Percussion.
- Drones.
- Atmospheres.
- Sequences and more.
Extensive processing of analog synths, custom Reaktor instruments and manipulated audio give this library its cinematic feel, ranging from dark and gritty to unnerving and glitchy.
All loops inside of Kontakt or in Apple Loop format can be tempo synced to follow any tempo when applicable
Using “Zero Dawn” inside of your favorite D.A.W has never been easier, simply drag and drop the WAV files or Apple Loops inside of your project and manipulate to taste, meaning owning Kontakt or a full version of Kontakt is NOT required to use these sounds.
However a full version of Kontakt 5.4 or higher is required to use the loops inside of its Kontakt engine. (The patches will not run in the free Kontakt Player).
KEY FEATURES
- High definition audio quality
- 1.5 GB installed
- 100 Loops
- Custom Kontakt Engine
- 2 Banks of sounds inside of kontakt
- WAV Format
- Apple Loops Format
NOVA: Modern Scoring Pads
A huge collection of pads, atmospheres and sound design. Created from analog synthesizers and manipulated audio recordings.
Each instrument has been meticulously crafted, combining the power of analog synths and found sound. This results in 5gb of sounds almost 15 x BIGGER than Texture with 5x the samples.
More attention and emphasis has been put into the idea of tone, while each instrument has been created with the ability to play chords and melodies (some in their own kooky way) unlike Texture, which was based solely on found objects and sound design.
The custom designed interface allows you to sculpt any of the 100 patches to fit your project perfectly. With built-in effects such as distortion, phaser, rotary, reverb and more.
KEY FEATURES
- 100 instruments.
- 5gb of sounds (uncompressed).
- Custom designed GUI to perfectly sculpt any sound to your project.
- FULL version of Kontakt is required.
