Renowned field recordist Chris Watson has spent years collecting audio recordings from what he describes as Haunted Spaces.
Ancient Temples, Ice Lagoons.
Cold War Bases, Abandoned Silver Mines.
Places rich with human drama & significance.
Charged auras and ominous atmospheres saturate the acoustic DNA of every recording in this unique collection.
Twins is a collection of 128 snapshot presets by sound design team K/V (Ramon Kerstens + Richard Veenstra)
A collection with a new concept - each preset has a Twin: Dark and Light.
These can be used together (as demonstrated in the video) or as separate sounds in their own right.
Available as an extra purchase for Haunted Spaces users.
The heart of Haunted Spaces is the Cube control - a 4-point vector controller that allows you to create complex movements between 4 different waveforms of your choosing, or add your own samples. The cube can be fully animated and the movements tempo-synced to your DAW. Each of the 4 waveforms can have independent filter, envelope, pitch and LFO settings.
Essential for navigating the huge range of samples in Haunted Spaces. View only Chris Watson recordings, or filter by synth waves, percussion, choirs etc. Clicking on a wave instantly auditions the sound in your patch.
The latest evolution of our generative arpeggiator - Hold a chord, and let it evolve - or loop a section and jam between 12 sequences. Record your patterns with the MIDI recorder, and drag and drop into your DAW..
The Options panel offers powerful tuning control over scales and individual notes. Choose from over 50 preset scales including pentatonics, African, Chinese & Mesopotamian setups, or create your own unique micro-tuning. Other options include MIDI setup for the control cube + pitch bend control.
A completely user configurable FX chain: choose from 16 different effects in 6 insert slots - in any order you like. The Space processor offers everything from rooms and halls to vintage studio FX and custom ambient convolution effects.
Haunted Spaces features a huge library of over 400 presets, created by a team of incredible sound designers.
The core sample library contains 128 original Chris Watson field recordings, combined with hundreds of custom synth, acoustic and percussion waveforms to blend with the ambiences. Notable sample sets include special versions of Soniccouture's Novachord, Array Mbira, Bowed Piano, ebow Guitar and many more.
This video showcases a small selection of the preset sounds.
You can add your own sounds to the Haunted Spaces cube.
Simply select a 'User Wave' slot from the browser, then drag your audio file directly onto the interface - the sample will be automatically mapped ready to play.
