Carmen for BYOME released on patchpool





Carmen is an ambiguous Latin word meaning chant, magical formular, incantation, poem. Following these terms, Carmen for Unfiltered Audio BYOME is a unique collection of patches comprising ambient soundscape-makers which will transform the incoming audio into fascinating and wondrous musical and sometimes alien textures. You will also find rhythmical gates, glitch-makers and filter-scapes, granular mayhem and complex delay lines, experimental craziness, deep spaces, stereo madness, complex drum processors and other effect combinations words fail to describe.

All 102 presets are programmed 100% wet for inserting the plug-in on a bus, up to 8 Macros are assigned per patch for quick and easy interaction with the presets.

While programming the presets for Carmen, numerous acoustic instruments, percussion, drums but also synthetic sounds were used as audio input in order to create patches which are useful in a musical context but also for sound design and post production.

You can view/download the PDF for this set including the licence agreement, technical info and a patchlist here.

Specs:
  • 102 patches, up to 8 Macros assigned per patch.
  • Programmed 100% wet for bus insert.

Elevation for Tone2 Icarus released on patchpool




Elevation for Icarus offers a wealth of evolving and organic sounds derived from many different acoustic and electronic sources. Dozens of samples were especially prepared to make the best of the re-synthesis algorithms in Icarus, vocal tones and phrases, speech, woodwinds, brass instruments, bells, percussion instruments, strings and electronic sounds were used as audio sources, the resulting wavetables were further processed and edited in Icarus. Some patches have been created entirely inside the onboard wavetable editor. From lush pads and elevating soundscapes to dark and massive drones, haunting atmospheres, beautiful textures, pristine plucks and complex sequencers, this sound library will elevate your music.

All patches have the modulation wheel assigned which often introduces rhythmical, tempo-synced modulations and/or interesting animation of morph, filter, amplitude and FX, a lot of presets also use aftertouch and velocity as modulation sources.

Falcon Singles - Falcon Scapes Vol3 released on patchpool



Falcon Scapes Vol3 focusses on long evolving soundscapes and drones, musical beds, wavetable-based pads, sound effects and other electronic sounds. Many of the soundscape samples are several minutes long, often with a distinct tonality, some explore the more experimental, darker side of things.

Patchpool.net online again

The migration of my patchpool.net domain was successful (patchpool.de is still pending), as of today it's up and running again with my new provider. Unfortunately my former provider (STRATO) deleted all e-mail accounts related to my domains, so for now I am using new e-mail addresses until I can retrieve the old ones. The customer service with the new provider is superb...

Patchpool hacked by spam bots

Since March 6 patchpool.net is offline due to spam bots which hacked my entire webspace (so all my other websites are offline as well) and the provider has not yet cleared my webspace and I can't predict how long it will take.

With Easter coming up, I don't want anybody to miss out on inspiring patchpool sounds, so just contact me via orderATpatchpoolDOTnet, and let me know what you ant to get.

25% discount on single items, 15% on bundles. If you have a PayPal address, I can send an invoice via PayPal which you can pay with two clicks.

Internet sucks!

Droneland 2 for Padshop Pro - library update released on patchpool




For the first version of this library, I used 14 drone samples from my SoundPack Droneland and also made 9 new samples derived from electronic sources and field recordings. In 2017 this library was updated/extended to 42 presets, adding another 29 wav samples and 22 presets.

Many of these sounds are huge and deep tonal drones with a cinematic touch, but you‘ll also find some more experimental textures, atonal timbres and haunting tones. All patches have the modulation wheel assigned, many also use aftertouch or velocity as modulation source.

There are now 42 presets using 52 samples - 1.37 GB of audio samples (wav) produced in 48 Khz/24 Bit stereo. As the samples are not encrypted, they can be used in other sample players, granular synthesizers or directly in your DAW. 

You can view/download the PDF for Droneland with more details, the licence agreement and the patch list including playing tips and short descriptions for the controller assignments in each patch here.


Specs:
  • 42 Presets

Cornucopia for HALion 6 released on patchpool


https://www.patchpool.net/halion_cornucopia.html


Cornucopia for HALion 6 provides a wealth of predominantly wavetable-based patches, all wavetables were be produced exclusively for this sound library by re-synthesizing dozens of samples from various acoustic instruments (string instruments, woodwinds, brass), vocals, percussion and electronic textures.
The sounds focus on warm and moving pads, dark and epic drones, digital hybrids, animated sequences, profound bass and pluck sounds, cinematic textures and soundscapes, crispy mallets and obscure sound effects. Some patches also layer the wavetable synth with Halion's granular and/or sampling engine, some patches also make use of Halion's analog synth, a few patches only use the granular and/or sampling oscillators. All presets have a designed Macro interface with a background image, more complex modulation routings are sometimes also assigned to the eight Quick Controls at the bottom of the main interface and the modulation wheel, quite a few presets also make use of aftertouch.

The wav-samples in Cornucopia are a mixture of field recordings, soprano sax tones and phrases, a huge gong recorded open air in a garden, tubular chimes (also recorded in that garden), electronic soundscapes, multi-sampled synth sounds and experimental electronic textures. All wavetables are embedded in the preset files, yet an additional folder with all wavetables used in Cornucopia (plus some extra ones) is included in the download folder, so that the user can easily create new patches using these tables.

You can view/download the PDF for this soundlibrary including the license agreement, more relevant info and a detalled patchlist here.

Specifications:

  • 103 tagged presets
  • 155 wavetables (153.1 MB, also available in a separate folder for easy access).
  • 769.9 MB of original samples (67 wavs / 48 Khz / 24 Bit / stereo)
  • Library size in total (with all assets): 1.03 GB
  • Delivery: download (compressed RAR-archive, download size: 768.5 MB).
  • Price: € 42 EUR.
  • The full version of HALion 6 is required to play the patches from this library.
  • Please note: With the current release version of HALion 6, all tempo-synced envelopes programmed for this library play out of sync with the DAW and other HALion modulators (step modulator/LFOs). This is a known issue and will be fixed with the first maintenance update of HALion (version 6.0.1), to be released very soon.

Product page.

All demos were produced entirely with HALion 6 using only patches from Cornucopia, no post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the outputs and some volume automation, if several instances of HALion were used in a track.



Here is a Youtube playlist with video demos for this library and other wavetable experiments which led to the creation of this sound libray. There is also a tutorial for the wavetable synth towards the bottom of the list.



Thanks for reading.

Falcon Singles - HANG released on patchpool




Multi-sampled HANG percussion, deeply sampled with plenty of articulations, textures and electronic derivatives. The nine pitches of the Hang were sampled at 5 velocity layers and 6x round robin, two articulations were sampled (mallet/hand), also the backside of the Hang was captured, producing some remarkable sub-bass tones. Dynamic tremolos for each pitch (hand/fingers/mallet) were also recorded, dozens of little rubber balls were inserted into the instrument creating sublime pentatonic textures, wavetables were extracted from Hang samples, textural Hang sounds were re-synthesized and processed with a plethora of sonic tools to compose a unique collection of mellow, beautiful, mysterious, haunting and new-age sounds. The original tuning of the Hang was preserved in many patches, in quite a few presets there is a Macro installed which will tune the samples to the traditional tempered tuning.

Up to 25+ Macros and switches are assigned in each patch, most presets make use of the modulation wheel, many patches also use aftertouch and modulation via velocity, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, dynamics, EQ, stereo animation and more.
All patches use some sort of background image in the UI, split patches have colored key-zones in the Falcon keyboard for easier navigation.

All Hang samples were produced at a resolution of wav 48Khz/24 Bit/stereo - recorded in L-C-R with 3 Neumann microphones, all signals are phase-aligned.

You can view/download the PDF for this library with more details, the licence agreement, and the patchlist including descriptions and playing tips here.

As some of these samples are borrowed from my HALion 5 library Aureus Ventus, license holders of AV get a 20% discount on this library, a dedicated paypal button has been installed.

Content:
  • 1.27 GB of samples (627 wavs/stereo/48 Khz/24 Bit), 7 background images for the UI,  4 wavetables.

Free Style for XFer Serum released on patchpool

http://www.patchpool.net/serum_free_style.html

This third patchpool set for Serum explores this unique synthesizer to the bone, using conventional and more often unconventional sound design techniques. There are no restrictions, the goal was to create creative, inspiring and musical sounds with the best possible sound quality for each patch.

The palette of timbres in this set addresses and will inspire composers from many genres who are searching for smooth animated pads, complex soundscapes, intricate and minimal sequences, mellow and expressive leads, sparkling bells, percussive impacts, otherworldly noises, cinematic textures and gloomy drones.

Dozens of wavetables were extracted from the vast pool of patchpool samples, others were created inside the Serum waveform editor, images were wave-tabled/re-synthesized, many patches layer two wavetable oscillators and also incorporate the sample and sub oscillator. Numerous samples were created exclusively for this set, others were borrowed from various patchpool libraries. Each patch has four Macros and the modulation wheel assigned, velocity is used as an important modulator - not only for volume - many presets also use aftertouch, giving the Serumist deep control to shape the sounds and adapt them to a given musical context.

You can view/download the PDF for this set including the licence agreement, more info and a detalled patchlist here.

Specs:
  • 101 patches (91.2 MB)
  • 364.5 MB of samples, 29 wavs / 44.1 Khz / 24 Bit / stereo

file:///Volumes/Macintosh%20HD/Users/simonstockhausen/Documents/patchpool/Website/patchpool.de/adapti_cs.html


Colored Spaces for Adaptiverb contains 178 creative patches (including 9 variations), many of them making use of the unique spectral filtering feature implemented into the plug-in. Dozens of sonic footprints from acoustic, vocal and electronic sources were captured and tested on various input sources, creating a diverse collection of spaces suitable for ambient/cinematic/experimental music and sound design. Some tonal spaces using the pitch quantization and resonance feature and some more conventional reverb patches for general usage and drums/percussion are also included in this collection.

The Freeze-function in Adaptiverb can create very interesting drones and pad sounds, so Colored Spaces also contain 48 presets with frozen ambiences, pads, drones and otherworldly textures which can be used as a starting point for sound design and/or as an inspirational source for new musical excursions. All patches are programmed 100% wet to be used on an effect bus.

You can view/download the PDF for Colored Spaces with more details, the licence agreement and a patch list here.

  • 178 patches (including 9 variations)

Falcon Singles - Acoustic E-Bow released!



Multi-sampled acoustic steel string guitar played with an e-bow, a much expanded and falconized version of the acoustic guitar sounds in Sonic Cinema for HALion 5. New samples were added, wavetables extracted and patched, electronic derivates and soundscapes were produced and some processed e-bowed mandolin sounds were created to compose a unique collection of sounds.

Many patches use the multi-granular engine, then there are patches using multi-samples over the entire instrument range, several animated wavetable pads/drones and sounds using the samples to excite the pluck oscillator are also included. Expressively playable instruments create sizzling timbres with rich harmonics that sometimes remind of indian instruments like the sitar and santoor, some patches sound big and cinematic, others produce mellow and embracing tones.

Up to 20+ Macros and switches plus the modulation wheel are assigned in each patch, many presets also use aftertouch, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, EQ-ing, dynamics, stereo animation, granular parameters and more. All patches use some sort of background image in the UI, split patches have colored key-zones in the Falcon keyboard for easier navigation.

You can view/download the PDF for this library with more details, the licence agreement, and the patchlist including descriptions and playing tips here.

Specs:
  • 20 patches.
  • 463 MB of samples, 45 wavs - up to 2+ min long
  • (stereo/48 Khz/24 Bit), 4 wavetables, 2 background images for the UI.
  • The content is not encrypted, so you can use the samples and wavetables in other samplers and synths or directly in your DAW.
  • All acoustic instrument-samples in this library were recorded with 3 Neumann microphones in L-C-R, a U87 as the center mic and a stereo set of KM 184 for L-R.
  • Delivery: download (zip)
  • Library size in total: 470.6 MB
  • Price: € 18.50 (30% off for license holders of Sonic Cinema)
  • Requires the full version of Falcon, does not work with the UVI player.

Resonantia for Chromaphone 2 released on patchpool




Resonantia contains 100 original patches and 22 variations for Chromaphone 2 by AAS.


Resonantia is a sonic universe in which the laws of physics apply and dissolve at the same time. This soundset explores the second version of Chromaphone in depth, making extensive use of the new resonator models, the updated FX section, the unison-mode and the arpeggiator. Pushing the boundaries of consonance and dissonance, expressive chromatic percussion sounds and catchy plucks meet futuristic drones and otherworldly cinematic textures, edgy unison leads and punchy bass sounds clash with mellow pads and hybrid fantasy instruments, microtonal textures from another world unite with hypnotic pads and ethnic percussion. A wide array of timbres suitable for a broad range of musical styles is waiting for the Chromaphone connoisseur.


As the Midi controller assignments for aftertouch and the modulation wheel can only be assigned globally in Chromaphone 2, many patch descriptions in the preset browser (and the patch list) contain suggestions for controller assignments, expanding the sonic possibilities of this unique instrument even more.

You can view/download the PDF for Modelled Reality with more details, the licence agreement and the patch list including playing tips and descriptions for each patch here.

Sound categories:
  • Drums + Percussion (16 + 5 variations)
  • Keys - Bass - Leads - String (22 + 4 variations)
  • Mallets - Plucks - Bells (27 + 6 variations)
  • Pads + Drones (22 + 3 variations)

Falcon Singles - Glockenspiel released



Multi-sampled glockenspiel, a much expanded version of the glockenspiel found in my sound library Aureus Ventus for HALion 5. More pitches were sampled for this release, making it a total of 19 pitches sampled between G4 - C7 (all “white“ keys +C#5), sampled at 3 velocity layers, the lower 2 played with hard plastic mallets, the highest velocity played with metallic mallets for some extra PING. Also more electronic samples and some wavetables were produced, all derived from glockenspiel sounds and phrases in order to create beautiful, ethereal and haunting glockenspiel soundscapes, drones, textures, plucks, an animated wavetable pad and a multi-sampled spectral pad.

Up to 20+ Macros and switches plus the modulation wheel are assigned in each patch, many patches also use aftertouch, providing detailed control over volume envelopes, filtering, amplitude- and pitch modulations, dynamics, stereo animation and more. All patches use some sort of background image in the UI, split patches have colored key-zones in the Falcon keyboard for easier navigation.

ArcSyn for Arrows released on patchpool





Arrows for SPC ArcSyn deeply explores this unique synth, unfolding it's raw and untamed timbres, it's lush and embracing pad sounds, it's dark drones and futuristic textures, expressive leads and intricate tempo-synced sequences, wondrous soundscapes, one-finger-chords, ambient miniatures, brass sounds, keys, crystalline bells, delicate sweeps, punchy basses and plucks and it's expressive vowel filter making for some very human sounding vocal sounds. 

Inter-modulating LFOs and well structured LFO-sequences breathe a lot of life into these sounds which can be used for a wide variety of styles as the numerous audio and video examples demonstrate. In quite a few patches all 16 slots in the modulation matrix were used to create complex modulation routings and provide as much user control over a patch as musically sensible.

All patches have the modulation wheel assigned, most also use aftertouch and velocity in order to provide expressively playable synthruments. You can view/download the PDF for Arrows with more details, the license agreement and the patch list including playing tips and detailed descriptions for each patch here.


Specifications:
  • 102 presets including 3 variations
  • Soundscapes - Drones - Textural – 28
  • Sequencer – 19
  • Pads – 12
  • Leads – 8
  • Synth - Brass - Keys - Sweeps – 11
  • Bells - Plucks - Stabs – 7
  • Bass – 6
  • Drums / Percussion – 4
  • Sound FX / SciFi – 7

Price: € 25
Delivery: Zip via E-Mail

All demos were produced entirely with ArcSyn using only patches from Arrows, no post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the outputs and some volume automation, if several instances of ArcSyn were used in a track. Only one track uses external reverberation as mentioned in the track title.
