ChromaZone review

WSM (Wusik Sound Magazine) published a review of my ChromaZone soundset yesterday, author: Jeffrey Powell. Read it here.

Annual subscription for Iris presets

This again was a totally spontaneous decision, after iZotope released Iris yabout 36 hours ago. I immediately dived into making presets and experiments as I'm quite fascinated and inspired by this Plug-In. As I don't have the time right now to make a full preset Bank I just setup a subscription page for Iris presets:

Get the annual subscription for my Iris presets for currently 15 Euros. The more patches I post, the higher the subscription price will be. Whenever I find the time I will create and upload smaller patch collections and send out the download links to all subscribers.
All samples involved are embedded in the presets using the "Export"-function in the Iris Browser. Just create a folder in your Iris Library named "patchpool" and drag the downloaded patches inside that folder to access the presets.

New Kontakt Patch: Vocal Scape

This patch combines 4 mysterious samples/soundscapes produced by processing male and female voices with various apps and Plug-Ins. The samples are layered in pairs, split-point is C3.

Controls:
Each layer (consisting of 2 samples) has it's designated control knobs for Attack, Release and Volume control. Each sound is also modulated by a LFO-driven Bandreject Filter, there are control knobs for modulation amount and modulation speed, turning up the LFO speed fully will create interesting ringmodulation-like effects. The inverted Modwheel controls the Cutoff of a Lowpass Filter.

FX section:
There is a Chorus and a Delay active in the FX section, bypass switches are available for both of them. The Chorus has 3 control knobs for Speed, Depth and Send amount. The Delay also has 3 control knobs for Time, Feedback and Send amount.

The demo was produced improvising with one instance of Kontakt tweaking some of the available controls, no post processing was applied.
