IMPACTO: Morphed Acoustics

IMPACTO contains a wide variety of sound types, ranging from trailer impacts and granular clouds to drones and full-fledged melodic tracks, which can be used as music stems in movies or games.

Most of source sounds were recorded using Sanken CO-100K ultrasonic microphone, which can capture frequencies up to 100 kHz, to get the most interesting sound foundation.

For this purpose I recorded various objects and textures (metal, glass, wood), as well as traditional acoustic instruments, strings, large gongs, singing bowls, didgeridoo, percussion, female vocals, chanting and etc. These sounds were further heavily processed with plug-ins, custom Max/MSP patches and external effects to get strange and unusual results.

The library also contains Source folder with recordings that are almost not processed (apart from pitch shift).

As a bonus, all sounds are integrated into KONTAKT instruments with user-friendly interface and several effects (LP filter with resonance, AR amp envelope, three-band equalizer, reverb, delay and chorus).
