🌌 The soundset is inspired by sci-fi movies, soundtracks, dystopian stories, urban landscapes, noise ambient albums, experimental modern art and sound design.

🧿 Perfect for genres like Dark, Noise, Ambient, New Age, Cinematic, IDM, Electronica, Dub, Deep, Techno, Industrial, Minimal, Psy, Trance, Garage, Progressive, Dubstep, 2-Step, Experimental, Breaks, D'n'B, etc.

These timbres also work well for movie soundtracks, games, apps, digital art, sound art lives, VR landscapes - anywhere a dark atmosphere is needed.
🔮 Craft an entire ambient or cinematic track with just a few (or just one!) performances. Or, create a couple of albums with the entire soundset.

🎛 Each Performance features 4 Layers that can be mixed using the Vector Envelope joystick. Explore each layer individually or blend them for unique combinations.
🕹 The Vector Envelope joystick is, by default, in the middle position - all layers are mixed equally. You can also disable some layers by double-clicking on layers' (A, B, C, D) buttons.

🟤 ModWheel opens all layers' filters, enhancing the brightness of the sound.

The presets follow a unified (with some exceptions) mapping system for the 8 Mod Knobs/Macros:

MPC Hype Synth 2-OP FM Tones! A pseudo FM synth?

video upload by Fortress of Sound

"Part of a quick and dirty tips series, a quick look at the MPC Live and the new VST plugin Hype which features a FM synth but it's not very obvious. Behind the curtain there is a full fledged FM synth, but unfortunately it's quite limited currently. There are many creative ways it can be used though, and I go over a few of those here."

"I ride my bike to random locations and play my Volcas sometimes. This was one of those times. Korg Volca Keys, and Korg Volca Beats, and some Telecaster added later in my studio. Just a quick little sketch for spring. Cheers!"

READYdot's Experiments: The Ice Fortress (small How-To make an Icy Pad on the SK-5 & Jam)

Published on Mar 10, 2019 R E A D Y d o t

"Hello! Good to have you back (- stole that one from HAINBACH, go check his channel: Awesomness!!!). This week is all about the Icy Pad from last videos jam. I have made a little tutorial at the beginning of this jam so you can see how such a sound can be made without a lot of skill and material. A cheaper Reverb will do almost the same thing as the Empress Reverb. There's also my newly acquired Digitakt and Beatstep Pro. That last one is the Master-Clock and also controls the BitRanger. The rest is icy magic..."
