Description

A four‑layer, tape‑processed synth for full Kontakt 8 built for dark analog, cyberpunk, and sci-fi horror. Build pads, drones, pulses, bass textures, and leads from analog sources recorded to cassette. Shape them with filters, macro controls, auto‑motion morphing, a step sequencer, and a focused effects chain.

Engine overview

  • Layers A to D

    • Per‑layer high‑pass, low‑pass, resonance, volume, transpose

  • XY Grid morphing

    • Manual position control

    • Auto‑motion shapes with speed and depth controls

  • Step sequencer

    • Up to 16 steps

    • Per‑step pitch offsets and velocity pattern

    • Rate, swing, gate, octave spread

  • Macros

    • Age: tape wear, drift, saturation behavior

    • Space: reverb send, stereo width, air

    • Movement: amplitude and modulation movement

    • Character: 3‑band EQ tilt for warmth, presence, bite

  • Effects

    • Drive

    • Bit and sample rate reduction

    • Tape‑style modulation including wow, flutter, speed, stereo spread, saturation

    • Ring modulation

    • Granular delay with time, feedback, pitch shift, reverse, stereo options, mix

    • Ensemble‑style modulation

    • Aux reverb with size, pre‑delay, feedback, return, diffusion, modulation, decay, damping

  • Global

    • ADSR

    • Main filter cutoff and peak

    • Trim

How it works in practice

  • Load up to four sources and set filters per layer

  • Place the XY point or enable auto‑motion for evolving blends

  • Use the sequencer for locked pulses and pitched patterns that follow tempo

  • Shape quickly with the four macros instead of menu diving

  • Add grit with drive and bit reduction, then set width, delay, and reverb

Sound focus

  • Tape‑chewed analog pads that evolve over time

  • Corroded drones for tension beds

  • Mechanical pulses and sequences that sit with picture

  • Low analog rumbles and straightforward leads

Preset categories

  • Basses

  • FX

  • Keys

  • Leads

  • Pads
