The Genesis Elements series of sample and sound expansions are a treasure of amazing elemental building blocks – giving you exciting sonic territories to explore. Each release will showcase specific nature soundscapes, including rains, which are the foundation of Dystopian Rains. Professional recording equipment were utilized to record Nature’s best in amazing quality and clarity. Sources come from the rolling prairies, the mighty Rocky Mountains and from the shores of the Pacific on the Canadian West Coast. All original soundsources were captured in 24-bit, 96khz resolution, not only the industry standard for professional sound effects and nature recordings, but critical to allow for extreme pitch shifting where these sounds are truly remarkable.
Ground breaking programming techniques are employed in Dystopian Rains to allow a single “patch” to have 4 individual custom samples cross fade across the entire keyrange. As you play up the keyboard, you will hear one sound transform into another, then another, and so on. This new technique paves way for more creative sounds with depth and character using just a single patch, versus relying on multis to accomplish the same task. A single patch can have a light rain slowly transform into a roaring storm. There are combinations that include two different pads that play at different key ranges, layered with two different rains, providing for a new and captivating playing experience.
I hope you are inspired to use these sounds for soundtrack and game score, live and online video production, and Ambient and Downtempo music.
