Tom Wolfe's Fractal for Omnisphere- REVIEW

FRACTAL FOR OMNISPHERE

Patch Library for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2

Fractal is a collection of 100 cinematic industrial patches for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2. This collection is heavily inspired by the scores of Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, and Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts I-IV album, but also draws from scores such as Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, A Quiet Place and Jigsaw.

For this collection, I wanted to focus on gritty, grainy and slightly obscure sounds. Using Omnisphere's incredible Granular engine, the extensive modulation matrix and the diverse distortion effects, this bank is full of lo-fi textures, serene pads, blistering leads and crunchy sequences. Fractal was created with unconventionality and uniqueness in mind, and provides the perfect solution for your industrial scores and compositions.

This collection requires Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2.4 in order to work. 

REVIEW 

Fractal  is Tom Wolfe's 3rd Omnisphere library release and contains 100 patches of gritty, distorted, industrial music inspired patches. 
Fractal is dirty and downright relentless. Tom really designed this library to a specific niche that really shines. This Omnisphere soundset is fun and uses the granular engine in a powerful way. These patches will surely please composers looking for that lo-fi, crunchy, post-apocalyptic sound design. The textures playable and textures soundscape category of patches would sell me on this library alone.  I really liked how Tom made use of the tremolo on the mod-wheel. I made a video below auditioning every patch in this library, so you can make your own assessment. Just make sure you listen to this library with headphones or a pair of good speakers to really hear the musical expression of these patches.
I think Tom has really outdone himself with this one. Fractal is original, experimental, dark, harsh, and marvelous all at the same time.
Well Done Tom Wolfe!

Introducing RX 7 Standard: Audio Repair for Music and Post Production

Visually identify and repair problems with the standalone RX Audio Editor application, or use the plug-ins in real time in your favourite DAW or NLE.
RX 7 Standard introduces new features and workflows that allow you to easily edit, repair, and restore audio to pristine condition both in post and music production. Instantly fix clicks, pops, hum, noise with Repair Assistant, rebalance music or isolate vocals with Music Rebalance, and surgically fix dialogue and musical performances using the editor or plug-ins.
Perfect for music and smaller post-production studios

• Remove instrument mic bleed with the De-bleed module
• Easily fix vocal issues like sibilance, breath, and mouth clicks
• Instantly repair multiple files at once with Composite View

Rebalance the musical elements of a mix
Are the vocals too quiet or the drums too loud? Can’t find the original stems to your song? With Music Rebalance, no mix is “final.” Using an algorithm trained with machine learning, Music Rebalance can intelligently identify vocals, bass, percussion, and other instruments and allows you to individually enhance or isolate elements of a stereo audio track, making remastering without multi tracks possible.
Isolate or remove vocals from your song
Not only can Music Rebalance be used to adjust the levels of musical elements in a mix, but it can also make once-impossible workflows like vocal isolation and vocal removal from a stereo mix a reality. In RX 7 Standard, you can easily extract an entire vocal performance from other musical elements or even remove the vocals, leaving only the instrumental elements.

Features

Music Rebalance [Standard & Advanced Only]
Music Rebalance is a powerful tool that intelligently identifies vocals, bass, percussion, and other instruments in a mix and allows for independent gain adjustment of each element—you can even isolate or remove vocals. Drums too loud? Vocals not loud enough? Are other instruments too present or is percussion not punchy enough? With Music Rebalance, you can easily reanimate a mix, create instrumental versions of songs by removing the vocal elements, or even isolate the vocal to prepare a remix without having access to individual tracks or stems. Also available as an AudioSuite plug-in.

Variable Time [Standard & Advanced Only]
Adjust the time stretch amount of an audio selection without altering its pitch.
Variable Pitch [Standard & Advanced Only]
Adjust the pitch of an audio selection while preserving the time and length.

Traveller for Omnisphere 2.5 by Triple Spiral Audio- Pre-Order

 

 

Pre-order active with an extra discount – release is estimated on the 20th of September. Pre-order price is €32.95, regular introduction price for one week after release is €37.95 and full price is €44.95

“My witness is the empty sky” wrote Jack Kerouac in his famous book On the Road. Traveller is a soundset that provides you a journey where dark and light meet eachother and where hardly anything stands still. Movement is one of the key features of this soundset. Dark and light ambient pads and textures, mysteriously moving soundscapes and guitar drones. Haunting arp’s and dark deep ominous basses.
The set contains 200 presets and 50 multis crafted for the new updated Omnisphere 2.5 and uses only soundsources from the core Omnisphere 2 library.
Traveller is a soundset that is perfectly suited for ambient music productions or to serve as underscore in film/game or library music
All the presets use the 4 layers in Omnisphere 2.5 and often the modwheel makes it possible to add or remove certain elements. For example to remove the pulsating movement in a preset and to turn it into a more static pad. Or to transform a soft plucked synth into a lush analog texture.
Traveller will be available on the 20th of September.

Taps Kontakt Guitar Instrument by Genera Studios- REVIEW

77% off ‘Floppytron Synth’ by Sampleso - Limited Time!

Sampleso are proud to present their unique take on the classic musical floppy drive, FLOPPYTRON.

Inspired by YouTube videos featuring floppy drives playing classic tunes from movies and video games, this basic yet complicated concept creates an instrument unlike anything else!

A Unique Take On The Famous Musical Floppy Drive!

This instrument is a true testament to Sampleso’s dedication to give their users the most unique and special instruments, so you can stand out and get a unique sound for your productions.

The Floppytron was inspired by YouTube videos featuring floppy drives playing classic tunes from movies and video games.

This basic yet complicated concept lead Sampleso to create an instrument unlike anything else ever seen before, including some features that are guaranteed to upgrade your productions, and spark your creativity.

      

A Brief History Of The Musical Floppy Drive

While the true origin of floppy drive music is uncertain, we do know that one of the first videos on YouTube of a “singing” floppy drive was posted on September 16th, 2007. The video features a Commodore 64 floppy playing “Daisy Bell” from a pre-programmed midi sequence.
In June 2008, a video of a floppy disk playing the Imperial March from “Star Wars” was featured on Hack A Day, Today & Tomorrow, Think Artificial, Buzzfeed and Make Magazine. The following year, artist Mike Kohn launched a section on his personal site to exhibit his floppy drive music work, featuring Bach’s Invention 13.
Since then, hundreds of different videos and tutorials have been posted all over the internet showing their floppy drive music creations and sharing coding tutorials to create your own playable floppy drive.

100+ Inspiring Presets & Total Control In One Stylish Package!

DESIGN
Sampleso has custom built and programmed the circuit that converts MIDI information from a keyboard controller to the necessary information for the floppy drive to play a musical note. This circuit was based on an Arduino Uno and was coded specifically for this project.
The drive was carefully sampled using state of the art equipment, using acoustic techniques to give the instrument a bigger, fuller sound.
After which Sampleso implemented the samples onto their signature custom Kontakt engine, and added some exclusive features to compliment the floppy drive sound, resulting in a one of a kind instrument that will definitely keep your creativity flowing.
All the controls in the main interface can be assigned a MIDI CC with a simple right-click.
PRESETS
Select a preset from the 100+  that Sampleso designed or create and save your own presets.
Filter your preset search by sections, tags, and category.
The preset menu also lets you preview each preset while loading it.
BEATS
This exclusive feature lets you sync the floppy engine cycles to your host’s tempo.
This gives the instrument such an amazing rhythmic effect, you won’t want to turn it off!
