Folktek Mescaline - Mutable Instruments Elements + Edges - Reverbs, Delays & Instant Lo-Fi Junky

Published on Dec 21, 2017 isvisible isinvisible

"The Folktek 'Mescaline' is providing the percussion (everything apart from the quiet snare sound which is from Braids) and the low repeating lush reverbed sound.

The wonky continuous slightly phased sound is 'Edges' going through my 'Bistromath', a ZVex 'Instant Lo-Fi Junky', Mungo 'd0' and an SDS Digital 'Reflex Liveloop'.

The slightly orchestral-ish sound is a Mutable Instruments 'Elements' fed into a Tiptop 'ZDSP' and then fed back in on itself.

The struck bowl (more like clunky synth percussion to be honest) type sounds that come in towards the end are the Livewire 'Dalek Modulator' going through a Doepfer 'A-188-2' delay.

Some sequencing being done by a Polyend 'Seq' via the 'Poly' module, and some being done by a 'Turing Manchine' and a Doepfer 'A-155'.

Triggers and gates being provided by an ALM 'Pamela's Workout, Mutable Instruments 'Grids' and Iron Ether's 'Pithoprakta'.

Modulation being provided by Livewire 'Chaos Computer', Mutable Instruments 'Peaks', Ian Fritz 'Bistromath' and a few other things, along with some Doepfer envelopes."

ZenSound ORION II Repro-1 soundset

Published on Dec 21, 2017 ZenSound

"Available now at ZenSound: www.zensound.es/soundsets/repro-1-orion-ii/

Orion II is the second volume from the soundset Orion I. Which has been designed to capture the spirit of the Blade Runner 2049 and Stranger Things soundtracks.

Orion II replicates the sound from the well known synths Pro-One and Yamaha CS-80; like his predecessor you can expect nice analog synth sounds from the eighties, making this soundset a source of inspiration for producing cinematic, synthwave and ambient music.

All of the patches dive deep into the analog and warmth territory, which all the sounds have plenty of the pleasing low end frequencies.

Orion II is formed by sequences and arps with a renowned 80’s fell, lush cinematic leads and pads, unique and original keys, smooth and silky Vangelis style synths, dystopian ambiances, deep basses, bass loops and punchy percussion loops.

In a nutshell — simple ideas that will allow you to easily make whole tracks.

All the 128 patches are “ready to go” and are responsive to modwheel and velocity."
