Dark and apocalyptic soundscapes
Enveloped in the essence of deep sonic exploration, Tenebrae, our collaboration with LA-based artist Joseph Holiday, alias SNAKES OF RUSSIA, delves into his dark, apocalyptic sound. These texturally rich playable soundscapes blend complex modular synth patches, heavy analog subs, and gritty drum samples. All are intricately processed through chains of unobtanium outboard and tape, unleashing a unique world of dirt and darkness.
High-detail recording for ultimate realism
Tenebrae features 70 unique sound sources recorded at up to 384khz/32-bit, offering an extended ultrasonic range. This high-detail recording ensures that the instrument is as detailed as it is playable. With up to 13 round robins per velocity layer, Tenebrae responds just like a real instrument, providing a highly realistic and dynamic playing experience.
Curated presets and advanced sound manipulation
With the transformative power of MNDALA 2, our ever-evolving acoustic synthesis engine, SNAKES OF RUSSIA has brought his sound sculpting expertise to design an inspiring set of 170+ presets. These include 79 bespoke artist presets, 70 Elements presets, and 27 Atelier presets. This extensive collection allows you to dive into a Pandora's box of sounds, perfect for creating atmospheric, vibey scores and sound designs.
Proprietary MNDALA 2 engine
A multi-dimensional audio engine built for the future, this bespoke playback engine features a myriad of sound-shaping tools and controls to carve out Tenebrae exactly the way you want. With no additional software required, MNDALA 2 runs in any DAW capable of hosting VST3 and AU plug-ins. Built over years of research and development in reproducing extremely high-definition audio, you can dive into the ultrasonic textures within these ancient winds and percussion instruments in never before accessible performance-ready format. A first of its kind, MNDALA 2 is built to recreate the ultrasonic samples at incredibly high fidelity: up to 24-bit and 96kHz. This allows for extreme pitching and manipulation of the sounds while retaining a resolution never before available in this form.
It's not just the immaculate audio quality that sets MNDALA 2 apart, it's the creativity and flexibility with which you can manipulate your instruments. Six fully-featured samplers let you load whichever instruments you want, with independent processing across all six channels. Customising the sound of each channel can be achieved with the onboard effects slots. Choose between 35 different effects, ranging from delay, reverb, saturation, modulation, filters and EQs where up to five can be loaded per instrument sampler each!
Each instrument has been recorded in a multi-microphone setup and MDNALA 2 gives you access to the volumes of each microphone, letting you adjust the spatial positioning per sampler, making it simple to create space in a mix. Additionally, you will find global modulators, custom modular effects routing and complex sequencing per sampler, offering a near-endless amount of customisation and automation for your sound over time. Controlling all of this processing power is condensed down into three simple performance controls. The three Axis-animated performance controls let you take control of up to 62 parameters simultaneously when mapped to your favourite controller, letting you take a hands-on approach to mixing and customising your sound.
