Phi Mu Labs: Cold Foundry

{See video at top of page}

Metallic groans, clangs, tinklings, jinglings, blips, radio static with something alien coming through, - PHI MU LABS: COLD FOUNDRY is the soundbank for KORG WAVESTATE & WAVESTATE NATIVE assembled specifically for creating the unsettling, dystopian, grim cinematic atmospheres.

It largely consists of field recordings, including those created back in early 2000s.

Some of them (not all) have been previously published at Freesound.org, and still available there for free.

Certain sounds are lucky catches, others - like the bowed cymbals - have been recorded on purpose.

Besides that there is a number of simulated percussive sounds created from filtered noise and with FM-synths, as well as simulated radio static samples in mono and stereo formats.

Overall this bank contains as many as 253 programs for Wavestate/Wavestate Native, making it the largest pack by the black-sided sun project, even though its sample content is relatively small - just under 150 Mbytes.

As a bonus, there is a small (36 patches) bank of industrial-themed timbres for those who use Surge XT synth along with Wavestate.

The demo features several instances of Wavestate Native plugin with only on-board effects.
