Candyfloss: Presets Walkthrough
Based on a unique category-based sound architecture (BODY, GRANULAR, TEXTURE), CANDYFLOSS is a sample-based virtual instrument for Native Instrument's Kontakt 6 that is tailored to producing pads with rich, complex high frequency elements. It draws on 60 organic sounds processed through various forms of granular treatment as a basis for musical sound design.
Although technically a sample library, the architecture and resulting sounds are more reminiscent of a synth. CANDYFLOSS's pulses, pads and other sounds combine glistening high frequency pearls, frothy mid-range rasps and grainy streaks with close-mic'ed acoustic instrument drones and washes inside an engine that allows for extensive time-based modulation and motion. The result are immediately intriguing patches with a huge depth of sonic interest that evolve over time.
