Hi All,

I'm happy to announce the release of my new soundset for Padshop Pro:

Cosmic for Padshop Pro 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 sze 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 (eight)
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

You can view/download the PDF for Cosmic with more details, the licence agreement and the patch list including playing tips and short descriptions for each patch here.

All demos in the 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 reverbration, it is mentioned in the track title.

Here is a video made with 3 instances of Padshop Pro inside Logic playing patches from Cosmic:

I just made a vid with a quick improvised runthrough of some patches from the category "Cosmic Noises" just using a Midi Keyboard with Modwheel and Aftertouch switching presets on the fly:

Hi,
I have just bought Simon's Padshop-bundle, that's to say "Droneland" - "Granular Worlds" - "Cosmic". I'm very happy with this bundle, because its sounds are really beautiful and original. You can understand that the creator is a true professional who loves music.

Thank you Simon.

Here is some customer feedback on Cosmic which I copied over from the other Cosmic release-thread in the patchpool forum:

TwoToneshuzz wrote: It's been quiet from me sitting here as I am with headphones locked on to my head, strange whirring buzzings sighs and shudders seeping out at low volume to my surroundings,a secret universe of sound playing out, It seemed to me that everything else just stood still while I explored the many sound cosmos.

What can I say, this is some of the most beautiful work in the soundware department I've ever had a chance to experience first hand. The sound quality, the breadth of material, creative sound design, great performance control with aftertouch, modwheel.

From the moment I loaded up the first sound my ears just went pop, like I'd been wearing earplugs which suddenly popped out. This is High End sound quality here. Everything seems playable and interesting over a wide range from high to low.

This is every space cowboys dream tool box..

I honestly haven't found one dull patch in the whole list..

I'll give a more detailed write up when I return to the surface of planet earth after my Cosmic ride.

Boy am ever glad I got the Padshop Pro instrument at Christmas to play the Patchpool sounds, Granular Worlds, and Droneland, both worthwhile, and now Cosmic takes it all to the next level!

Thanks for your great work Simon!

My initial purchase of 'Padshop Pro' stemmed heavily upon hearing Patchpool's plans to create sound design for it ('Granular Worlds'), and this new offering definitely stands on it's own from Granular Worlds excellent explorations and provides a unique sequel...building and expanding on the possibilities of this otherwise low profile granular synth.

In one word...'Musical' In two, 'get it'!
