Plughugger has released Illuminator for Spectrasonics Omnisphere, an experimental soundset aimed for ambient and cinematic productions based on samples recorded from a metal floor lamp. Plughugger recorded the lamp using a traditional Piezo microphone and struck the lamp in different locations with different materials, from the large head to the springs and metal shaft.
Inspired by the psychoacoustic samples made by Diego Stocco for Omnisphere, Plughugger also used an electric toothbrush to generate sustained sounds with a tonal quality.
To add a sonic counterpart to the metallic sounding samples, Plughugger also morphed the sounds with recordings from an analog synthesizer (Analogue Solutions Leipzig) to create sounds with an organic yet synthetic quality.
Illuminator contains 172 sounds in the following categories:
- 33 Arpeggios & Sequences.
- 6 Drum & Percussion.
- 40 Effects.
- 7 Pads and Strings.
- 1 Bass sounds.
- 8 Synth sounds.
- 37 Textures & Soundscapes.
- 40 Multis.
