The Atmosphere Dream Synth Module is a new type of software plug-in instrument that integrates a 3.7GB core library of more than one thousand unique sounds and layer elements with a powerful and intuitive interface for shaping new textures. The software works as a native plug-in instrument in all major hosts like Logic, Digital Performer, Cubase, Nuendo and Pro-Tools.
Atmosphere was designed from the ground up by acclaimed synthesist Eric Persing, well known for his sound design of classic Roland synthesizers and award-winning sample libraries. The core library was developed using over a hundred sound design devices and nearly every conceivable synthesis method available including granular, additive, wavetable, wavescanning, graintable, neural processing, vintage analog, vector, virtual analog, FM, plug-in manipulations and unusual acoustic sources as well.
The stellar sound quality is the instrument's number one feature. The scope of sounds it can produce is very broad, making it extremely versatile in a wide variety of musical situations. This is made possible because of the huge core wavetable that is available to work with that is completely dedicated to sound design elements. The range of sounds available from Atmosphere include lush ethereal pads, powerful leads, crystalline glass swells and dark brooding atonal clouds. Unusual synthesizer basses, evocative ambiences, deep drones, complex textures, vintage analog sounds, disturbing noise FX, gorgeous ambient string ensembles, thick trance/techno sounds, wavetable sweeps, vocoded choirs, dense vocal washes and transparent evolutions.
The core library of a thousand powerful sounds is just the starting point for user creations. Using the "dual-layer" concept, the user can immediately mix and match the layers of any of the 1,000 patches, and tweak each layer fully independently. Each layer in Atmosphere has its own multi-mode resonant filters, four LFOs, three envelopes and matrix modulation. There is also an additional master filter for quick tone shaping.
