MIDI effect dedicated entirely to arpeggiated/sequenced instruments. This deal ends on October 4th, don't be late to the party!
Instruments & Multis
In the design of ARPOLOGY, Sample Logic felt that it was important to
use a wide spectrum of instrument recordings spanning all genres and
sound types such as: choirs, woodwinds, brass, strings, world
instruments, sound effects, various field recordings, industrial tools,
machinery, synths, and much more. Sample material was carefully and
selectively hand picked from key sample sets from the entire Sample
Logic vault of over 200 gigabytes of already recorded material used in
SL's previous products. Once gathered and selected, this material was
then used as the clay, which now has been morphed and animated into a
series of never before heard instruments that will blow anyone away.
The instruments are divided into 3 main categories:
Cinematic / Organic
Electronic / Effectual
Percussive
Multis are also divided into 2 categories:
Instrument Stacks
One Note Glory
TECH SPECS

50% off “StereoSavage” by Plugin Boutique (AU/VST/AAX)
“StereoSavage” provides an innovative stereo
toolbox, combining tried and tested studio techniques with emulations of
modern and classic tools that will bring your mix to life!
Are you tired of producing boring, flat, lifeless mixes? Then look no
further… with this plugin you can finally achieve the stunning stereo
image your mix deserves!
Stereo Image Control & Creativity Plugin (AU/VST/AAX)
Designed and coded by the Credland Audio for Plugin Boutique, the unique tools of “StereoSavage” will bring your mixes to life like never before!
The StereoSavage GUI is split into five different sections that allow
you to control and be creative with every aspect of the stereo image:
Generate stereo signals from mono using the: VOX, DELAY, EXPAND and SPLIT programs.
Place sounds precisely in the stereo field with the adjustment tools: WIDTH, PAN and ROTATION.
Create movement and chorus-like effects with the LFO
Retain a solid low end with the adjustable BASS BYPASS.
INPUT/OUTPUT – Use the input and output peaks to help keep things balanced.
Also included is a comprehensive METERING SECTION
“StereoSavage” includes all of these features in a single plugin,
offering the flexibility to enhance your track with dramatic effects, or
add the perfect subtle finishing touches!
Feel The Width With the Stereo Adjustment Controls!
This might be considered the “main” module, but don’t let that detract you from the others to come!
Width – Make it wider, make it wider than wide… Or bring it in so other sounds draw focus.
With this you can either go full mono or full on -1 phase, which means
only stereo signal with nothing in the middle. This can be fun, but can
be a bit tricky to deal with in the mastering stage. Usually you will be
somewhere between the two extremes.
Pre – Move the panning before widening for super-wide auto-panning.
Rotation – Super-natural panning. This is designed to sound more natural than normal panning.
LFO – Add modulation to key controls for
movement and excitement. Use the sync to ensure all modulation happens
in time with your track. Check out the audio demos to hear this in
action. You can add an LFO to some of the parameters—Pan, Rotation,
Level, Delay, Width, Size. You have control over the LFO’s shape, rate
(synced/time), phase and amount.
Bass Bypass – Essential for maintaining a
solid low end signal by allowing the bass to be passed through the
plugin unprocessed. The gain knob can be used to compensate for
differences in level that may arise as a result of the stereo
processing. The bass bypass allows you to control the lower end of the
signal, which is crucial for a good mix. You can either completely cut
it out or just trim it back.
Effects – A Whole New World of Sound Manipulation!
This is where Stereo Savage starts to set itself apart from similar
plugs. From here you can add a specified amount of stereo width that can
be generated in 1 of 4 ways. Each has its own set of tweakable
parameters as well. So it’s like four separate devices in one!
Vox – Get that classic wide vocal sound:
huge leads or rich backing choirs. It’s also brilliant on synths,
guitars and has hundreds of other uses.
Delay – Use a simple delay on a channel to
pan or widen a sound, this is great for percussive parts. It also has a
huge benefit for club mixes where you want to pan some percussion
without making either channel quieter! This effect goes up to 40 ms
(Haas effect), so, it can even do the “outside the speaker” trick.
Expand – Add some aggressive early
reflections to make sounds stereo and engaging without adding any
unwanted movement. Works pretty much as the Roland Dimension D vintage
hardware, you can add a fixed low pass filter using the Warm button.
Split– Splits the sound up into multiple
frequency bands and pans those bands left and right. Compared with the
other three modes it is exceptionally natural sounding.
Each of these effects has an FX Amount control, so you can dial in precisely how much FX do you want to apply.
Total Control With Input Routing and A/B Comparison.
This section allows you to control what is fed into the device and
control and compare the eventual output with the original source
material. Input Routing
You can solo the left/right channels, swap them, or sum to mono.
Summing to mono means taking both the left and the right channels and
feeding them into both the left and the right together instead of
separated. The ø buttons swap the phase of the L or R channel. A/B Comparison
This is becoming more common these days, as it should. Stereo Savage can hold two states at once. They you can switch between the two on the fly to see which fits your project best. There are 33 presets to choose from which are a great place to generate some inspiration and ideas.
Metering – Adding the Final Touch To Your Masterpiece!
Metering
While a stereo imager’s goniometer is essential when dealing with stereo width, the phase correlator
is fundamental, yet most plugs dealing with the widening of sound don’t
have them. You usually have to load a second plug to do the metering
for you. Not with Stereo Savage, which has them both built right in!
Goniometer – Ultra precise goniometer for
visual display of the stereo placement of your sound. The goniometer has
two settings. A precise pixel producing display and a more general
display where the pixels of a given area are averaged and shown as
thicker lines. You can switch between the two by clicking the display
area.
Phase Correlation – Keep a close eye on this to prevent any potential phasing issues.
Input/Output – Use the input and output peaks to help keep things balanced.
Last, but not least, you can even scale the plug in as you
wish. When you have a screen full of plugins working away on your latest
mix it’s the little things like this really add StereoSavage’s appeal!
As you would have seen and heard in the examples above “StereoSavage”
is a truly comprehensive stereo imaging toolbox that can produce
everything from subtle widening to crazy over the top auto panning and
detuning/phasing.
The potential applications of this plugin are many and varied. Here are just some possible uses:
Electronica/EDM – keep your tracks exciting with crazy panning effects and sound mangling possibilities!
Cinematic Underscore – subtly widen your mix to bring out individual instruments and add real depth to the performance space.
Rock/Pop – Enhance vocals and guitars, giving them own unique place in the stereo image.
… and these are just a few of the possibilities!
Normally €68.99 – get it at 50% before its gone!
Absolute no-brainer at 50% off the normal price (normally €68.99)!
Create stereo from mono sources for richer soundscapes.
Control the placement and width of stereo sources. Separate instruments within the stereo field.

This library is the ultimate culmination of many hours of work, study and tweaking. The choir has a very impressive, big natural sound which makes it perfect for all types of film and trailer music as well as classical orchestral writing!
11GB of Elegant & Powerful Choirs for Kontakt!
Aurora Choir is an elegant and powerful choir sample library for Kontakt, and represents somewhat of a milestone for Aria Sounds, being the culmination of many hours of work, study and tweaking.
The library contains both Sopranos and Altos (separate instruments for maximum control), with stunningtruelegato built in.
On top of this, it has 24short syllables, arranged into a very conveniently playable sequencer. Simply arrange your phrase in the sequence, and play away – the choir will automatically sing the syllables you enter.
Beautiful Sopranos & Altos With 3 Distinct Playable Modes
Aurora Choir has 3 distinct modes: true legato syllables, polyphonic mode and syllable shorts mode. True legato syllable mode allows you to play “aah“, “eeh“, “ih” or “oh” in true legato (sampled with two dynamics), providing 8 full sets of legato intervals – perfect for realism and variety. Polyphonic mode allows you to play full chords in unison. The dynamics for both this and the true legato modes are controlled by the modulation wheel (CC1).
Also included is the syllable shorts mode, allowing you to playtwenty four different syllable shorts, each of which has three dynamic layers, sequence-able in the GUI, giving a total of 72 variations per short note.
Create Your Own Epic Phrases With The Built In Sequencer!
The sequencer section allows for the creation of extremely realistic and powerful spoken lines, with the 24 included syllables. You can also control the speed or “tightness” of the sequence, so you can make it sound more loose and drawn out, or very quick/urgent/powerful/epic…
The default sequence spells out the “Dies Irae” text, but you can easily customise or completely change this. Simply click on any syllable, and select a different one from the 24 options on the drop down menu that opens. Each syllable was recorded at three dynamics, which respond to velocity.
The low G# (in yellow) can be used to reset the sequence to the beginning, in case you don’t want to use all twenty four steps every time, allowing for even greater variation.
4 Mic Positions in Pristine 48Khz/24 bit Quality
The choir was recorded in a mid sized hall, for a pristine and clear sound, using four mic positions at 48kHz/24 Bit to ensure that no part of the vocalists’ glorious sound was lost.
A variety of mics were used, including Neumanns, DPA’s & Coles 4038 mics. Choose from each of these, or create your own personal blend from the four available positions (close, ribbon, mid & far)
The positions are ordered from closest to furthest, and you even have the option between close condenser mics, and close ribbon mics (for a darker and warmer sound).
If an even more reverberant sound is what you are after, there is a reverb slider on the interface, and you’ll also be pleased to know that this library takes external reverb very well.
