Atmosia Comes of Age
From film scores to game soundtracks, Atmosia 3 is your four-voice atmospheric engine—perfectly tailored for film, TV, advertising, video games, ambient and experimental genres.

A complete code-base overhaul meets an expansive library of over 700 sound sources, all honed to push you toward the ethereal end of the spectrum. Whether you're crafting soaring underscored moments or immersive sound beds, Atmosia 3 simplifies complex atmospherics into single-note magic.

Refreshed and Revised
During a full-codebase overhaul, Atmosia emerged with a fresh, minimalist interface. Every voice-editing tool now lives on a single, streamlined front page—no more menu diving or hidden panels. You get instant access to envelopes, filters, modulation, and effects exactly where you need them.

Underneath its polished surface, Atmosia's signature deep per-voice control has been expanded even further. Sculpt each sound source with full ADSR envelopes, dedicated filter envelopes, tremolo (volume) and vibrato (pitch) modulation, field effects, flexible send routing, and customizable pitch-bend ranges. Plus, keyboard splitting lets you assign distinct note ranges to individual voices for dynamic layering and performance.

The Path to XY Mastery
Atmosia's iconic X/Y pad invites you to seamlessly morph between four distinct sound sources. Draw dynamic movement paths in real time, record them with a single click, and see every contour visualized directly on the pad for instant playback and refinement.

This update introduces dedicated horizontal and vertical offset controls, so you can shift your recorded path anywhere across the X/Y plane—and, just like every other parameter in Atmosia, these offsets are fully modulatable for endlessly evolving textures.

We've replaced the old static timer with a purpose-built Transit Modulator (LFO) that syncs perfectly to your DAW's tempo. Choose any musical interval—eight bars, two bars, a half-bar—and craft how your path unfolds using classic waveforms (sine, triangle), random positioning, or even your own custom LFO shape. Retrigger or run one-shot, ping-pong or free-run—the choice is yours.

FX Engine Unleashed
We've taken Atmosia's effects arsenal from a modest 8 all the way up to 28, including a suite of custom-built modules that twist, warp, and contort your sound in delightfully unpredictable ways. Every send and master bus is now a playground—each of the four send slots and four master slots can host any of these 28 effects.

Alongside this massive expansion, we've added a brand-new ring-modulation filter that injects metallic sheen and rhythmic complexity into your patches. Whether you're dialing in subtle textures or full-on audio mayhem, Atmosia's FX engine gives you the tools to reshape your sound like never before.

Arpeggiation Unleashed and Modulation Multiplied
Atmosia's per-voice arpeggiators just got a major upgrade. You can now choose from multiple play directions, switch into chord-based playback, and dial in a note-trigger probability to sprinkle randomness into every cycle. Whether you want tight, looping patterns or unpredictable rhythmic bursts, your arps adapt to your musical vision.

The real game-changer is how we've doubled down on modulation. Each core parameter—volume, pan, pitch, filter frequency, and resonance—now has its own dedicated LFO. And those LFOs don't live in isolation: they can have their speed modulated by secondary sources, creating layers of meta-modulation that evolve over time. On top of that, six freely assignable Mod LFOs give you unlimited routing possibilities, even allowing LFOs to modulate other LFO controls for sonic textures you've never heard before.

Tag Land: Next-Gen Sound Browsing and Preset Management

Experience lightning-fast sound discovery with Atmosia's completely redesigned tag-based browser. Filters and categories still let you hone in on the perfect sound sources in seconds, but now you have full control over your tagging ecosystem—create custom tags, tweak existing ones, and shape your library exactly how you work.

Loading and auditioning sounds is effortless: select any sample for one of the four voices directly from the browser and instantly hear how they interact. No menus, no hunting—just creative flow.

We've taken that same intuitive browser architecture and supercharged the preset system. Sort and search through over 330 expertly crafted presets with the same tagging precision, so you can jump to inspiring sounds or build your own signature setups with ease.

Available now at https://www.tracktion.com/products/atmosia for $69.00 list price.

Sorry I missed off the details of the randomisation system, this post seemed to be getting too long... but here's what the web site says:
Atmosia retains its randomisation system but applies it to more effective grouping of controls, so there are independent randomisation options for Voice & Filter, Envelopes, Sends, Effects and Arps allowing you to explore thousands of options and tailor your sound design to your needs. Dial in chaos exactly where you want it and maintain control elsewhere.

Unlock thousands of unique patch variations with a single click, from subtle textural shifts to full-blown sonic mayhem.
As to Sample Import: this has come up before in other products. Importing a single wav file is certainly possible to do, and has a conceptually simple enough workflow. But Atmosia is a multi-sampled engine, with all the added quality and lack of anti-aliased sound associated with that. We may add single-wav file import at some point, but so far we dont know of any product(point us at it if you do) that isnt itself a full blown sampler(like say Kontakt) that allows multi-sample import in a workflow thats not massively complex or tedious.

Yep, if you send us your proof of purchase(serial number and place of purchase should be enough) we will send you a discount coupon for Atmosia3 purchase. Details on this are being worked out now so I cant say the exact discount amount, and it might take a few day to get them delivered, but you should be able to use it at checkout

Until what date is the intro price going to be offered?

Thanks!

I see the libraries on Loot Audio when I hunt around for deals on full Kontakt libraries from small devs. I work as an optical engineer and am just a hobbiest, but I like ambient and “space” music, jazz, and progressive rock and metal of all subgenres. I was not surprised that a tool like this has shown up in death metal.

Morning coffee with synth videos is my jam. The walkthrough videos are very well-done IMO as is the interface. The only information I did not find, which I will learn later this afternoon when I grab the demo (also kudos for having a demo available) is whether the interface is resizable for my 60-year old eyes, whether the filters can track the keyboard midi note number, and the size of the library on-disk.

Do you plan to expand the library or use the same engine for new libraries?

Never heard of it also but I'm pretty amazed by its sound.

Windows 11 is reporting that the size of the library on disk is 4.36 GB. So it is not too small and not too large: a good size. The GUI does not appear to be resizable, but it occupies much of my 17” 4K laptop screen and if I could resize it then it wouldn’t grow much. The knobs and text are readable from my usual working distance. I really need to buy a separate monitor other than my work monitor which, since I work from home, is always open for work stuff. I can’t find a way to get the filters to track the keyboard. The randomizers are very cool. So far I like the sounds and am leaning towards the “buy” direction even without the filter tracking.

The GUI should be entirely resizable, there's a small tab in the bottom right corner, click and drag this to resize the interface.

Well, it depends, but we do have an expansions system so if it sells enough we will make expansions for it, we're not in the business of using the same engine/interface with a few tweaks and then charging a full-product price, that seems a dishonest approach to us.

Expansions are usually in the $45-60 range and include 60-100 new sounds and a bunch of presets to support that, well that's been our approach with Horizen so far and I see no reason to change.

Also in passing, our approach to new functionality is all 3.x updates will be free, so 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc. We would change a fee for 4.0 (if we ever got there), but existing Atmosia customers would get a discount of some sort, as you can probably see by my post about having sent out the Discount codes to Atmosia2.X owners.
