Bloodstone for U-he Dark Zebra H2P

SYNTHiC4TE | Jan 01 2020 | 1.9 MB

…::: HAPPY NEW YEAR :::…

Bloodstone : collection of 111 patches for U-he’s Dark Zebra (ZebraHZ) expansion for Zebra2. U-he’s Dark Zebra, takes their flagship flagship soft synth, Zebra2, and takes it somewhere much darker and edgier. With this set you are going to find warping, drifting pads and drones, grungy basses, basslines, warped leads, broken synths, percussive loops, sequences and ARP patterns. But you can warp and punish these sounds into very radical different tones and textures. This time there is no separate WTF section, as Dark Zebra has extensive X/Y performance controls. Each sound has been carefully programmed to make use of the modwheel and the X/Y controllers – see how quickly a sound can get into WTF territory….. Inspired by some of my current favourite soundtracks from Ben Frost, Cliff Martinez and Hildur Guðnadóttir, this set is ideal for all your dark cinematic needs. Ideal for film, game and tv composers, or those in need of some darkness and grit.

Bad Tape v1.0.1 WiN MAC

SYNTHiC4TE | Dec 04 2019 | 21 MB

MAC: VST, VST3, AU, AAX | WiN: VST, VST3, AAX

“A Tape Harming Effect Plugin”.

Its focus is on creating extreme tape artifacts. The inspiration for Bad Tape came from denise team member Enrico ‘nrec’ Tiberi: “I was using a lot of my old Akai 4000 DS MK2 reel to reel tape recorder pressing the tape to slow it down as an effect and that made me want a plugin that could control how to break the sound without having to use my fingers each time and without all the cables and fuss that analog hardware inevitably brings”. Combining a good old vintage tape sound with harming features makes Bad Tape a creative and versatile tool. Want an “out of tune and off the grid” beat or a wonky drum groove? Just keep the detune button pressed and it will create a tape-stop in real time. Press it shortly for slight slow-downs and speed-ups, or use wow and shake to make it go in and out of tune and go off grid periodically. Use the mix knob to create tracks that are heavily saturated and detuned, with additional interesting tape artifacts like hiss, squeal and harm. Bad Tape can be used to color and detune your whole track, or it can be applied to just one bar at the end of a section to help introduce some variation and lead in the next section of your song.
