Analoguesque Sound Designs has released a free collection of patches for the ASM Hydrasynth, Analoguesque Esoteric II.
What they have to say about the free sound library:
“This bank of 128 patches provides musicians with atmospheric punch for their compositions.
There are, of course, several basses and leads, but the bulk of the collection concentrates on atmospheric pads designed to fill, and sometimes, create spaces in a composition. There are plenty of dark and dirty pads, noisy atmospheric “factory” pads, light wispy sounds and FX, to fill out the mix in many interesting ways.
As is customary for Analoguesque Sound Designs, these are all downloadable free of charge.”
Analoguesque Esoteric II bank is available now, along 4 additional banks of free patches.
Developer Cem Olcay let us know that he’s released a new FX app for iOS and Mac, ScratchBud, that lets you ‘scratch’ audio files.
What he has to say about it:
“You can either load your own samples, or record the audio input up to 3 seconds as your scratch source. The classic aaah and fresh samples are included. With the LFO, you can automatically scratch. The crossfader cuts the scratch sound and the control behavior can be changed on the settings menu if you’d like to tap it like a hardware crossfader. It’s also MIDI controllable.”
Developer Christophe Duquesne let us know that he’s released Loris Synth, a new analysis and resynthesis tool for the EaganMatrix.
The EaganMatrix is the synth engine that powers the Haken Continuum synth line, the Expressive E Osmose and other synths.
It’s available now for macOS, with a Windows version in the works.
The official video intro:
Analysis Resynthesis tool for the EaganMatrix
Loris Synth is an Analysis & Resynthesis tool for the EaganMatrix, allowing you to create your own analysis, send them to the EaganMatrix, and design EaganMatrix presets using them.
The purpose of Analysis & Resynthesis is to analyze an audio sample, and extract from it all the necessary information to drive the EaganMatrix Additive Bank. It will provide a result heavily inspired from the initial sample that can be manipulated in an infinite number of ways. It is not sampling, and not intended to be imitative: its purpose is to open a brand new sonic world based on the initial samples.
*Note: You must own a product running an EaganMatrix to be able to use it (Continuum, ContinuuMini, EaganMatrix Module, ContinuuMicro or Osmose). In addition, the EaganMatrix will have to run the 10.44 firmware and up to be compliant with all the Loris Synth features. (Osmose will not have this firmware before first trimester of 2025).
