Quantum Leap Forbidden Planet

Quantum Leap Forbidden Planet is a sample-based synth collection of more than 1,000 presets which allows users to combine, morph, process and modulate sample-based sounds in any way they desire.

Geared towards film, TV and game composers as well as hard-driving electronica, gothic punk, industrial and ambient composers, Forbidden Planet will "wow" composers with sounds that jump out of their speakers, and ease-of-use that will quickly make it an industry favorite. Forbidden Planet gives users the best of both the analog and digital worlds. The collection offers more than 1000 presets that are based on sampled analog waves, modulators and sampled filters recorded through a custom Neve 8078 console and vintage Fairchild 670 compressors. For added variety and flexibility, Forbidden Planet offers parallel programs using the unprocessed analog waves and all of the digital filters, modulators and fx. Additional presets are provided by Troels Folmann and other leading sound designers.

Using the collection's new convolution technology, Q-Fusion, users can create unique sonic combinations such as a very detailed electric cello that is modulated by an electrical disturbance or a theremin that morphs into an ethnic vocalist. Forbidden Planet also features Riptide, a cutting-edge wave sequencer that incorporates real acoustic waveforms, unusual custom sound design elements, as well as sampled analog waveforms. The 3-dimensional audio image can be controlled using the collection's Q-Space function. Musicians can expand their sound options by selecting the type of analog filter model used.

The collection also provides users with a comprehensive set of built-in multi-effects including the new "Déjà Vu" effects processor. "Déjà Vu" is a self-contained multi-fx sampling engine that gives musicians access to imaginative, sampled fx chains such as demonic effects and processors like tuned feedback, ring modulation and dozens of psychotic effects. To control rhythmic, glitched and melodic waveforms, Forbidden Planet also comes equipped with an industry leading time and pitch machine.

A To Z: The Keyboard Online NAMM Report
April 2008 | Feature

There are two questions you can count on musicians asking each other mid-winter. Once “Where’s your new year’s gig?” has been answered, “Going to NAMM?” is never far behind. Here at Keyboard, the answer is always “yes.” The National Association of Music Merchants trade show — the NAMM show — is a convocation of nearly every musical instrument maker on the planet. Top-call session and touring cats play at what seems like every other booth, brass from big retail chains meet with manufacturer reps to write orders for the year, and the occasional star roams the aisles, entourage in tow, checking out the new gear. For music journalists, it’s four straight days of meetings and press conferences in a total sensory-overload environment. It’s like being the ball in a giant pinball machine, only this ball has to absorb information every time it hits something. We wouldn’t have it any other way. We love this stuff, and here’s a complete list of the stuff we loved. We even did a realtime photo and video blog that you can check out at livefrom.musicplayer.com. Where possible, each product entry has a link to the individual video or photo we grabbed live from the NAMM show. Also,  be sure to scroll down to the very bottom of this screen, where you’ll find our special sections on music notation software and studio monitor speakers. [READ MORE...]
