Cosmic for Steinberg's Padshop Pro is Simon Stockhausen's third soundset for this instrument and focusses on rich cinematic pads, drones, soundscapes, bells, synths and cosmic sound effects mainly derived from electronic sources like Hardware and Software synths and more experimental audio applications like Metasynth and Cosmosƒ, a fascinating program which I discovered recently. These sounds are very usable for genres like Ambient - New Age - Soundtrack and Electronica.

Cosmic contains 82 patches making use of 123 original samples produced in 48 Khz / 24 Bit, with a total size of 1.59 Gigabyte. All patches have the Modwheel assigned, many use Aftertouch and Velocity to control numerous parameters for deep interaction with the sounds.

Patch categories:

• Cosmic Bells (8).
• Cosmic Noises (12).
• Cosmic Pads (17).
• Cosmic Scapes (27).
• Cosmic Sequences (9).
• Cosmic Synths (9).

Sampled Hardware synths:

• Clavia Nordlead.
• Roland D 50.
• Korg Z1.

All demos in the Soundcloud widget below were produced entirely with Padshop Pro using only patches from Cosmic, no post-processing was applied apart from a Limiter on the Master Outputs. If a demo does use external reverberation, it is mentioned in the track title.
