Black Orb

This Padshop Expansion absorbs iconic vintage synthesizers, obscure modular synths and a variety of organic sounds into a dark mass, only to be further mangled by everything Padshop has to offer. The result is a hybrid of gloomy lurking drones, raw pads, aching arpeggios and powerful pulses which push the boundaries of electronic music, feature film, game, TV and trailer scoring.

150 hybrid sounds and inspirational soundscapes.

Modular and vintage synths combined and processed with analog effects.

Includes deeply manipulated samples from a concert pipe organ.

All presets designed by The Solos (trailers for Avengers, Alien, Jurassic World).

The idea was to create a library, preset and sample pack for Padshop 2 which is specifically tailored for electronic music, cinematic and movie trailers. Padshop is an ideal powerhouse for creating those sounds, literally stretching the extremes of sound design through its granular and spectral options. The result is outstanding soundscapes which complement, challenge, move and inspire your ideas. Warm and deep, yet torn and shattered, Black Orb has been created by The Solos' seasoned sound designers Allert Aalders and Ramon Kerstens.

Located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, The Solos is an award-winning trailer music agency comprising composers, musicians, sound designers and programmers. Their music and sound designs have been used in blockbuster movie trailers like 1917, Captain Marvel, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Black Panther and many more. As well as having its own record and publishing label, The Solos also works closely with international audio companies such as Steinberg.
