Workflow & Aesthetics //
Fine tune your selection with the tagging system from the 500+ expertly designed factory presets to easily find the sound you need. Explore sound sources and adjust layer volume, tune, and dial in the macro controls unique to each of 500+ preset.

Sound Sources // [2:05]
Get inspired by 90 meticulously recorded sources with one-shots, pads, and tape loops broken down in three categories:

1. Orchestral Sources: We brought together a 60 piece & 22 piece string ensemble orchestra in the beautiful BMC Concert Hall in Budapest. Harmonic traditional violas and cellos to lush textures ready for manipulation with deeper production capabilities to choose between close or far microphone positioning (‘Close/Far’ Button).

2. Synths: We sampled the finest vintage analog synthesizers to redefine the power of classic synths to hybridize your sound.

3. Creative: We let our imaginations run wild. Bowed & plucked piano strings, tape echoes, processed guitars, time-stretching, granular synthesis… even playing a viola with the wrong side of the bow for new expressive techniques.
