 Warp Into Otherworldly Sonic Dimensions

• 3 sound pack themes inspired by Lovecraftian Horror, Sci-fi Noir and Steampunk genres.
• 500 unique instruments; each with 3 editable/warpable variations.
• Expert and Performance Modes for flexible levels of usability.
• Grain and resonance engines for powerful manipulation of sample material.
• Powerful dynamic control and deep levels of creative sound design features to explore and build your own sound worlds.

 The Engine
3 stylistic themes (Sci-Fi Noir, Lovecraftian Horror and Steampunk) are divided into 5 instrument types that include all manner of sonified gadgetry, gaslamp dissonance and thematic soundscapes.

 Instruments Types:

• Aerophones: Wind instruments and anything that vibrates with air pressure.
• Friction: Resistance of one object/instrument moving over another to produce sound. Bowing, scraping, pad-like sounds, etc.
• Struck: Percussive sounds such as bells, pianos or anything that is struck to produce sound or noise.
• Soundscapes: Sounds that may or may not be tonal and give a sense of environment or mood.
• Machines/Movements: Arpeggiator and sequenced driven patterns or other movements programmed in the Warp Wheel.

 User Interface:
Expert mode enables the user to explore deeper into the interface to manipulate sounds and create their own imaginative presets. Each instrument offers 8 channels of unconventionally sourced, dynamically layered samples plus 8 channels of multi-dimensional sampled synthesis. There are 3 pages of effects including Shape, Color and Ambience. Quickly and easily sweep through combined effects such as Spectral Filters, Distortion, Modulation and Spatial parameters using the visual XY Effector display.

In Performance mode, 6 Macros allow you to assign any parameter for individual preference and finely tuned performance control. The Warp Wheel (the heart of Acousmatic Engine), allows you to store 3 variations of each instrument and record automation of movements and transition effortlessly into new sonic dimensions, expanding the sonic depths and allowing the sounds to breathe and come alive.
