I'm working on a successor to Drone Machines for Aalto, which seems to have been quite popular and has gradually expanded to over 100 patches, so I thought it was time to start a new one. This one is in a similar vein, still lots of patches are self generating evolving sounds, but this time some are more textural and cloud-like (or fractal) and very minimalistic, whereas others are more tempo based, polyrhythmic and mechanical. I'll try and make some demos of sounds tomorrow, so far it looks like the bank will have 60-70 patches. Just thought I'd see if there was much interest.

absolutely! I would look fwd to this!
I am truly fascinated with Aalto and consider it to be one of my best purchase decisions of 2013. It definitely pushes past notions that a vst is a pale representation of a hardware instrument...and while confronting it for the first time may make one feel much like a dog being shown a card trick, it really is a wonderful playground for those who have the time AND inclination to explore! ...which brings me to the point: I own it, but I no longer have the copious amounts of time to devote to as much personal sound design as I would like to- so I am ever grateful for talented folks such as yourself, Stephen ...great sounds inspire great music

Well it turned out I've been working late in the run up to Xmas the last few evenings so not had time myself either to complete these or even make demos but the weekend and holiday is looming so then I will.

I'm up to 75 patches now - I can't seem to stop making them but I think if I make any more after release I will give them away as free addon sounds, which will gradually get bigger as I add more, as I did with the Drone Machines freesounds.
Now just need to find some time to make a few demos.

Apologies to anyone who couldn't find the download links - for some reason the site reverted to an earlier backed up version from last night - not only the links went but even the text changed. I have just restored it but have no idea how it happened - hopefully you can download now - the link is just where it says "here". Thanks to all who have donated so far.
