Sample Logic has released Xosphere, a new sound library for Kontakt and Kontakt Player.
Inspired by the principles of synthesis and sampling, Xosphere redefines how atmospheres are designed, implemented, and morphed to fit all genres of music and sound design. This product provides advanced tools to simultaneously morph up to 8 unique atmospheres running through 4 morph module oscillators.
At the heart of this is Sample Logic's Morph Knob and Morph Animator, which allow for seamless morphing between 2 atmospheres. Building upon the Step Animator and FX Animator from Arpology and Cinematic Keys, this new user interface combines animation with psychoacoustic sampling and hybrid synthesis.
Employing Sample Logic's advanced randomizer function, more than 100,000 combinations of atmospheres can be created per Morph Module Oscillator, with up to 4 oscillators per instrument, and that's before adding the numerous custom FX modules that come with the interface. In addition to the Xosphere engine, Sample Logic has introduced several dynamic, real-time preset browsers for choosing atmospheres, oscillators, and instrument presets designed to allow a user to create custom-crafted, unique, and original soundscapes that are full of organic life and motion, which are perfect for setting the tone of any composition or production.
Each morph module oscillator is powered by 2 sample-based atmospheres, each of which are user assignable and can be morphed manually with the Morph Knob or animated via the Morph Animator. Don't know where to start or what to create? No problem. The dynamic built-in browser for each morph module oscillator makes searching for presets and atmospheres simple. Whether using 1 or all 4 oscillators, there's no limit to what can be accomplished. In addition, each morph module oscillator has independent sound sculpting parameters and effect tools. This includes a set of FX Animators for automating various parameters. Perhaps the most exciting feature is the inclusion of a Dual Filter Oscillator that modulates the hi-cut filter of each morph module oscillator, generating creative and complex rhythms by animating two hi-cut filters at different speeds.
Each Morph Module Oscillator is equipped with the following real-time tweakable effects:
- Volume.
- Pan.
- Adjustable Root Note Placement per atmosphere.
- Morph Knob / Animator.
- Sample Start.
- Pitch.
- ADSR.
- Filter.
- Convolver.
- Compressor.
- EQ.
- Distortion.
- ▪Phaser.
- Delay.
- Reverb.
Each morph module oscillator contains a collection of warp-able convolution presets to feed the atmospheres through.
Xosphere is not only a creative sound sculpting tool, it is packed with inspiring sample content to cover cinematic, electronic, and organic music genres, intended to be perfect for any music production. The sample-based atmospheres have been meticulously crafted using various psychoacoustic sampling techniques.
Want to easily make your own atmosphere in less than a second? You can take advantage of the user assignable intelligent random feature designed to keep creative juices flowing.
The following features can be randomized:
- Each atmosphere (2 atmospheres per morph module).
- Morph Animator sequences (1 per morph module).
- Morph Module Oscillator parameters (1 for each of the 4 oscillators).
Categories include:
- Bizarre.
- Dark N Scary.
- Electronic – Effectual.
- Euphoric – Spiritual.
- Mixed Emotions.
- Mysterious.
- World Organic.
