Exploring the Essential Features of “Slate & Ash – Landforms for Kontakt“
LANDFORMS SHIFTING ORCHESTRAL PERSPECTIVES
A New Orchestral Approach: Landforms introduces a groundbreaking method for working with orchestral samples, seamlessly blending sampling and synthesis to create a multidimensional sound design environment. Unlike conventional orchestral libraries, Landforms doesn’t just replicate traditional orchestra sounds; it transforms them into constantly shifting, abstract sonic collages, rooted in the orchestral domain but uniquely alien.
Emerging from Nature: Inspired by the forms and textures of the natural world, Landforms’ curated articulations are designed to mirror rhythmic fusion and unpredictable movements found in nature. The result is progressive textural evolutions akin to rising tides and the harmonic refractions of rippling water.
Real Expression, Real Emotion: Recorded in the warm acoustics of the Wood Room at Real World Studios, Landforms captures the nuances of individual performances with hyper-focused spot mics. The intimate recordings emphasize detail while maintaining the magic of ensemble dynamics, providing a full-spectrum dynamic mix with deep tonal range.
Eternal Formations: With over 400 sound-designed preset patches, Landforms allows for extensive customization. Each preset can be dissected and adjusted within the engine, offering a wide range of possibilities from distorted percussive pulses to obscure electroacoustic textures.
Expanding Orchestral Terrain: Beyond orchestral articulations, Landforms features 50 processed sound sources, each crafted from six separately processed layers. These layers, created through eurorack modules, granular synthesis engines, cassette machines, pedal chains, and amplifiers, contribute to a rich sonic palette.
More Than Just Sample Playback: Landforms goes beyond traditional sample playback by allowing users to blur the origins of multi-sampled articulations and apply diverse creative modules, macro effects, mixing tools, LFOs, physics-based modulation, and interactive expression controls.
Spatial: The spatial mixer offers an intuitive approach to shaping sound environments, allowing users to place sources within a virtual two-dimensional soundstage, manipulate reverberation, isolate individual players, or even sweep them through space with LFOs or user-defined gestures.
Modules: Auto-generate complex, scale-quantized harmonies, pitch-shift, time-stretch, carve intricate step patterns with the arpeggiator, or add variation with parameter randomization. The four flexible input modules provide limitless possibilities to transform the interactivity of patches.
Effects: Fifteen uniquely programmed macro effects, an XY pad for quick adjustments, and effect randomization offer a variety of sonic possibilities, allowing users to fine-tune and modulate their sounds.
Layers: Fuse two programmable layers into one performable soundscape, each with its own sound source, tuning, envelope settings, and spatial perspective. Expression controls enable interactive modulation between layers.
Expression: Assignable expression controls unlock new ways to design and perform patches, enabling dynamic swells, crossfades between layers, evolving filter sweeps, and LFO-modulated rhythmic patterns.
Output: The final stage in the signal chain includes a four-band EQ, a characterful tube compressor, an adjustable delay, a switchable reverb between algorithmic and convolution modes, and a low-fidelity tape warbler.
Import Your Own Samples: Landforms allows users to easily import up to twelve samples simultaneously, pitch-shift, mix, apply effects, and transform them using the sound design engine, offering limitless possibilities for creative exploration.
