SYNTHiC4TE | June 26 2018 | 111 MB

Explore this fantastic Live instrument with sound designer Rishabh Rajan, and get into FM synthesis the right way! Popularized in the early ’80s with the Yamaha DX7, FM synthesis often has a reputation of being overly complex and difficult to understand (mostly because it was a pain to tweak parameters using a single data slider on such a small LCD screen!) Thankfully, Operator’s user interface makes FM much easier to grasp and program. In this course, Ableton Live expert explains everything you need to know about FM and Live’s very flexible Operator device.

Cinematic Tension FX1 KONTAKT

Team SYNTHiC4TE | March 19 2014 | 158.5 MB

Developed by a team of composers and sound designers Cinematic Tension FX is an experiment in sound design. The morphing function allows 2 sounds to be simultaneously played and blended together. So, for example, a vocal chant can be combined with a flute to create interesting sonic textures that evolve and blend over time. Each sound can be manipulated and then saved as a preset. Presets can be recalled instantly using dynamic keyswitching and then ‘morphed’ together using the modwheel. “Frank Macchia’s ‘Cinematic Tension’ suite is loaded with wild and fun performance effects. The “Chinese Flute” alone, is worth the price of admission. But there are many more interesting and useful instruments in this collection, especially the string clusters and prepared piano. The simple interface makes the navigation and customizing of sounds fast and easy. Add a delay and additional effects, and you’ll discover another portal in your atmospheric palate. Ruling!” – Tyler Bates, composer 300, Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead
