Impressions

IMPRESSIONS is a two-layer Integrated Granular Synthesis instrument with extensive movement capabilities, with a focus on pads and pulses with complex organic textures. A truly original take on multi-source granular synthesis,

Riot Audio's IMPRESSIONS is an instrument capable of combining granular sample playback in a way no other instrument on the market has done to date. Instead of the tried-and-tested multi-layer engine approach, where two independent granular streams run alongside each other and are simply crossfaded, IMPRESSIONS uses a new proprietary unified architecture (Integrated Granular Synthesis) where the two grains are correlated in the granular stream.

The result is a synergistic sound picture where the boundaries between origin sound sources almost disappear. Even with substantially divergent sound sources the grains appear to the listener clearly correlated, greatly assisting with creating distinct, cohesive sound design.
