Sonora Cinematic has announced a new version of its creative sound design Kontakt Player instrument – Harmonic Bloom. The v1.3 update introduces an array of presets all created by a line-up of talented musicians, composers and sound designers. Here's what they say:
What Is Harmonic Bloom?
Harmonic Bloom turns noise into unique and distinctive musical material that can be used in your compositions.
From calm and reflective organic soundscapes to dark and imposing mechanical pads and textures, Harmonic Bloom offers an awe-inspiring array of sound design possibilities – and that's just with the included noises and sound sources. Users can also import their own samples into the easy-to-use interface to craft rich, complex and captivating instruments like no other.
Once a sound is selected or imported, the user can simply start extracting harmonics from these chaotic waveforms to obtain a musical pitch.
That's just the beginning... a plethora of built-in LFOs can independently modulate the panning, volume and filters of each single harmonic. Creating lush, evolving soundscapes is as easy as turning just a few knobs.
Furthermore, users can add a second layer from a curated selection of deep sampled sound sources ranging from rare instruments to classic analog synths, guitars to reamped acoustic instruments and more.
Harmonic Bloom v1.3 brings another inspiring bunch of presets to the stable created by some exceptionally talented music and sound design artists including Si Begg, r beny, MATTHS, Patricia Wolf and Elif Yalvaç.
Bolstering the existing generous offering, these 78 new presets deliver a plethora of electronica and ambient goodness to get stuck into.
Harmonic Bloom is available with 30% off until 7th January 2024 as part of the Sonora Cinematic up to half price Winter Sale which also launched today.
Harmonic Bloom is developed for the free Kontakt Player v7+.
