An instrument with a more electro-acoustic character than the usual synthesizer, thanks to the use of a network of filters to excite the resonators. The sound is then injected into a spring reverberation tank.

SERAPHIM’s distinctive synthesis is backed up by radical choices to promote the experience of expressive, nuanced playing. To make the most of SERAPHIM’s typical sound engine, the instrument can be played lightly, favoring fine, airy tones, or, on the contrary, it can be played more forcefully, allowing for sharp, massive nuances.

Either way, SERAPHIM has a strong, recognizable identity, making it the ideal companion for creating basses, leads and drones.

Using 4 oscillators with continuously variable wavetables, SERAPHIM is capable of producing metallic tones as well as surprising woody sounds. Each oscillator has a PWM function with its own dedicated LFO, a tuning control ranging from -3 to +3 octaves, panning and gain control down to slight saturation.

SERAPHIM is based on a number of concepts that are uncommon in the world of regular sound synthesis, but which are highly prized by users of modern modular synthesizers. SERAPHIM is also different in its commercial approach, offering an unusual instrument at a friendly price. What’s more, when you buy SERAPHIM for Kontakt (full version), you’re making a financial contribution to the development of the hardware version. It’s a win-win situation.

Barbarian Cello is based on the ground-breaking engine and bowing techniques used in Lux Violin. View Lux Violin here.

Rebowing Engine: Barbarian Cello employs a one-of-a-kind rebowing engine, meticulously designed to minimize note repetition in extended bowing sequences. It achieves this by incorporating up to 5 variations per note, effectively eliminating the “machine gun effect.” Furthermore, the repetitions are extracted from phrases, ensuring a natural and authentic performance.

The legato engine: A legato which has two different types of transitions that are activated depending on your performance and that make this instrument especially good with fast passages. The regular transitions have been meticulously recorded up to an octave both up and down and the fast transitions have been recorded up to a perfect fourth so you can seamlessly do fast ornaments and runs.

Many options: Barbarian Cello features a wide variety of articulations covering the lowest to the highest dynamic ranges. Legato, harmonics, flautando, 3 types of swells and much more. In addition, the long articulations feature soft and hard attacks for added expressive possibilities. The short articulations have been extracted from phrases for a greater naturalness and better connection between them, highlighting the spiccato with 12 round robins and 5 dynamic layers.

The interface has three different modes

1. With keyswitch mode you can change the articulation using the red keys located in the highest register of the keyboard.
2. The split mode will allow you to divide the keyboard into two different parts, for example being able to play legato on the right side and sustains on the left.
3. With morph mode you can transform an articulation into another that you want, very useful for example to transform the flutando into harmonics or any other combination that you like.

Individual patches are also available if you like to work this way or you want to save resources.

Volt II is packed with deeply sampled and highly playable sounds including hard hitting and gritty bass sounds, ethereal pads and strings, arpeggios, distorted other-world textures, alien atmospherics and dreamy uplifting chordal synths.

Volt II uses our Volt Meter controller which allows for multiple dial manipulations on the interface with just one dial movement. Essentially the Volt Meter is an advanced Macro. Assign your modwheel to the Volt Meter automate the parameters on the fly.

Volt II is perfect for all kinds of electronic music from ambient, abstract electronica to Techno and is also great for writing breakdowns for your next electronic masterpiece.

Comes with over 130 snapshots preset and we also included a collection of MULTI’s.

Audio demos are made with just a few instances of Volt II using simple chords etc – Volt II does the rest with slow evolving textures and gritty bass and distorted arpeggios etc.

Volt Meter

Volt has a special Volt Meter dial that is the centre of the action. Most of the controls on the front panel can be controlled by the movement of the Volt Meter.

Simply select from the front panel which controls are to be controlled by Volt Meter and then select the depth/range of the control – Moving the voltmeter will then control those active dials. You can also assign the Volt Meter to your Modwheel or any other external controller dial and control many dials with the Volt Meter.

The two sliders under each dial are to set the min and max movement that the volt meter will have on the dial ie they set the range that the dial will move, if it did not have those range dials then all the dials would move the same range from 0 to full which would not be that exciting. Also it is worth noting that the left slider can also go higher then the right slider and this will create an inverse movement when the volt dial is used. ie if the left slider is taller than the right slider then when the volt meter is used the dial will move in the opposite direction – good for using on Cutoff and res with an inverse set of sliders.

Most of the included snapshots have already been setup to respond to the Volt Meter – Give it a whirl and experiment.

It is easy to create stunning patches with Volt, and by clicking the Volt symbol in the centre of the interface you can randomise patches and let the chaos of the universe play a hand in the sounds you make.

Synthetic Materials is a simple, but powerful KONTAKT instrument fuelled by a rich assortment of modern-day classic analog and wavetable synthesiser sounds, complete with a scale-quantised semi-generative sequencer and support for user samples.

All the factory instruments (60 in total, approx 5GB compressed) have been sampled in 24 bit super-wide stereo, and include plenty of interesting content for long, evolving and atmospheric pads. The instrument comes with 100 snapshots plus 25 sequencer demos, but Synthetic Materials is really about making those sounds your own. There are also 50 Multis demonstrating what can be achieved by layering Synthetic Materials instruments plus five 4-track demo “songs” comprising 20 sequencer snapshots.

Instrument

Refine your sonic creations selecting from two different types of low pass filter (with envelope and LFO) or add some grit with a drive effect that has its own dedicated envelope. Further enhance your sounds with the instrument’s built-in effects, including 4-band EQ, stereo ping-pong delay, rotary, chorus, reverb and compression.

Add pitch-based expression with a unique velocity threshold legato glide, vibrato and an effects pedal inspired pitch shifter. The pitch shifter allows you to generate up to two additional notes for each one you play, for octave or chord effects, including velocity scaling, automated pan and subtle detuning. You can even emulate analog-like instability with variable pitch and velocity drift that randomly alters the pitch and tone of every single note.

Configure all of these parameters from a single screen on the instrument’s GUI or from your NKS controller.

Synthetic Materials also has its own percussion instrument, the “DM 78” which includes over 200 analog drum samples showcased by 100 “vintage” and “modern” sequencer snapshots of readymade beats for your projects.

User Samples

Synthetic Materials also supports user sample import giving you access to the same sample zone mapping design used by the factory sounds. Simply drag and drop your audio files, tweak your sample and loop points, then save custom instruments as snapshots. You can even share your creations with other Synthetic Materials users.

Sounds

All the base sounds (60 in total, approx 5GB compressed) have been sampled in 24 bit super-wide stereo, and include plenty of interesting content for long, evolving and atmospheric pads. The instrument comes with 100 snapshots plus 25 sequencer demos, but Synthetic Materials is really about making those sounds your own with its flexible sound design engine.

Powerful Sequencer

Last but not least, the Synthetic Materials step sequencer has been designed to be fun, creative and musically inspiring. Despite having only 16 steps maximum, the sequencer is driven by a generative probability-based engine that allows you to develop patterns that will never sound the same twice. Step length for each sequence can be set from a sixteenth note to a massive 8 beats in length for evolving soundscapes and simple chords. Velocity and gate is adjustable for each step, and steps can be optionally sub-divided for old-school “ratcheting” effects. Gate times can also be overlapped for glides between steps. 

But the fun really starts when you explore some of the sequencer’s more unusual features… 

The A/B options allows you to configure musical variation with alternative or combined pitches for each step. Add anything from subtle direction shifts to all-out chaos by assigning steps to “bump” or “jump”. All of this is probability-based of course! And finally, you can even sketch out musical ideas using the sequencer’s “shift automation” feature that auto-transposes your sequence while it’s running, with everything staying perfectly in key and in tune using built-in scale quantisation.

Kontakt Player & NKS

Synthetic Materials is compatible with the Free KONTAKT player, so you don’t need the paid full version of KONTAKT to use the library.  Synthetic Materials is also compliant with Native Instrument’s NKS standard, with categorised snapshots and parameter mapping, allowing you to browse and edit sounds from any NKS-compatible controller.

Magnetic|Duo puts you at the controls of a hybrid instrument combining strange acoustic pianos, bizarre synthesizers, electronic organs and other unlikely keyboards. All at the same time.

Based on the sound research that produced Subliminal Keys, Magnetic|Duo takes a more direct approach while retaining the strangeness of its bigger brother.

For Inquisitive Composers

Magnetic|Duo is aimed more at inquisitive composers than fussy sound designers.

This collection of instruments gives you access to two worlds, allowing you to create your own parallel universe: a textured piano form on one side, a related instrument on the other.

Each proposal oscillates between the concept of a digital sampler or an electronic keyboard and the Mellotron-ish approach. DACs and tapes interweaving to create new sounds.

Stretch the piano to an ethereal layer, turn it into stringy violins, reduce it to a delicate, corrosive powder. All with a minimum of fiddling.

TRUE HYBRID DRUMS

Konstruktor is a hybrid drum designer and kit builder that blends acoustic sound sources with synthesized waveforms. Together with both fully acoustic and fully synthetic elements, this kit builder creates truly hybrid drums with a unique, fresh new sound.

CONVOLUTION COLORS

Model each kit component with its own convolution plugin: almost 400 custom impulses that color, shape, distort, and augment the drum samples. Thicken kick drums, smear and widen snares, turn hi-hats into mini rhythm engines. Glitchbomb, Drumrust, Echoglitz, Boomscope…

ROBOT OR HUMAN?

Control the amount of randomization that is applied to velocity and quantization—separately for each kit component. Make those snares and hi-hats extra trashy. And with 6 round-robin layers for every articulation, even fully synthetic kits can find a new groove. Let those kits run loose.

PERFORMANCE CONTROL

Adjustments to tuning, sample start points, decay envelopes, and sample width can also be used to control how different convolution impulses color an instrument. Subtle tuning changes, in particular, will often reveal new and unexpected frequency effects that can help to shape a whole kit.
