To some it will bring up car doors slamming. Perhaps an airplane flying by. However, we've taken it to a different level. Here you will find deep soundscapes, mysterious noises that are hauntingly familiar, yet melt away from memory.

The concept of the X-Poly is based around two oscillators, each containing four special sub-oscillators spaced one octave apart. Both oscillators can be blended seamlessly between a square and a sawtooth-type waveform and can be freely panned in the stereo field. The six-stage envelopes controlling the amplitudes of the oscillators provide a linear slope for the first five stages and a semi-logarithmic release for the final stage.
A global filter applied to all voices simultaneously as well as a stereo noise generator and a sophisticated chorus effect complement the unique sound of this instrument plugin. As a result, the X-Poly is particularly great for warm backing sounds, leads and atmospheric pad sounds, that fit nicely into the mix.

Additionally, automation and a redesigned user interface with direct access to every parameter, make it much more user friendly and accessible, than the original unit.

The concept of the Poly-850 is simple: 2 oscillators, one filter for all voices, 3 envelopes, a modulation generator and a chorus effect.

The plugin offers two modes, 808 and 909, each with their own, characteristic sound. It goes far beyond the capabilities of vintage analog hardware, however, and introduces new parameters, most importantly it offers precise control of the pitch. Additionally, despite the fundamentally different models employed, all parameters apply equally to both the 808 and 909 mode.

The convergence of rhythm and noise in smooth, precisely calibrated flow patterns provides the backbone of contemporary abstract electronic music. Iced: Minimalist Electronica brings a virtual cryogenic life support system to your desktop that will match your heart rate, mimic your brainwaves, and provide auditory feedback in multiple modes, from chilled dub to glacial dirge, crisply melodic to moonscape static, syncopated and bouncy to completely flatlined.

Synthesis is a DVD course dedicated to anyone who wants to learn how to program synthesizers, either Analogue Subtractive or Frequency Modulation. Using complex waveform analysis every individual element of a synthesizer is broken down giving the viewer a much deeper understanding not only of the parameters but also the frequencies that are generated and adjusted by the various controls that adorn a synthesizer.

The Classical volume in our Orchestral Series collection contains original music composed in a tribute to the most beloved baroque and romantic period composers in the history of classical music. Our team worked closely with gifted composers and musicians steeped in the long history of European music to produce compositions that sound pure and authentic, capturing the full range of symphonic instrumentation.

The Vibe loop series was created to bring more “Vibe” to your tracks. None of the loops found in this series are “traditional” acoustic drum loops. Down Tempo Grooves (DOD Vol. 15) was inspired by both a sound and playing technique. The playing approach is minimalistic. Simple fills and grooves at tempos between 40-105 BPM. This approach gives the user a great deal of space to play with and room for the sounds to develop and “speak.” Down-tempo grooves features a very soft playing style. Massive amounts of tape compression were used to “gain” the drums back up to a normal volume. The end result are drum tracks that have an “in your face wet punch” with the sound of smooth tape compression. A kick drum with great low end makes these loops a perfect match for Soul, RnB, Hip Hop, Pop Ballads, Retro, etc. You’ll love the sound and find a ton of uses for “Down-tempo Grooves.” Download now! Or select shipped on disc.
