Materials - Metal & Ice

Instruments Of Metal And Ice

Melt extraordinary sounds of a masterfully sampled brass ensemble and various metal-based instruments into rare analog and digital synthesizers, along with sound effects recorded with ice and all kinds of metal objects. Focusing on extended playing techniques, unusual recording methods and deeply processed sounds, the fusion of these sources is combined with powerful modulation options, FX processing, wavetable synthesis and the granular engine. Together, they have created the perfect playground for creative ideas and an extraordinary instrument for cinematic productions:

• 6.5 GB of unheard sounds, created from various instruments, synths, metal objects and ice.
• Features extended playing techniques recorded by a 12-piece brass ensemble.
• More than 150 masterfully crafted cinematic presets by Magnetic 96.
• Up to four material layers with multi-samples, wavetables and granular samples.

Wow, this is an absolutely incredible instrument that goes from lush pads to textured sound design rhythmic textures, making it an excellent instrument for game design, film, TV, and electronic music production. It's been a constant source of inspiration since the second I launch it.
