Serene Cosmos for Thorn

{See video at top of page}

Touch The Universe is proud to present "Serene Cosmos" for the amazing Thorn synth from DS Audio, containing a total of 188 presets and 350MB of embedded noise samples, and is suitable for any contemporary electronic and ambient music genres. TTU is very excited to continue their love affair with Thorn with Serene Cosmos, their fifth soundset for Thorn, which has been lovingly and patiently crafted utilizing the new skills learned since the last Thorn release a couple years ago.

The soundset covers a vast sonic territory and is full of exotic character thanks to Thorn's unique Harmonic Filter. Serene Cosmos covers a very wide sonic palette with a richly diverse assortment of styles, from complex, futuristic acid 303 lines to thick and lush keys, super wide stereophonic textures, piercing resonating leads full of grit and distortion. It also contains many beautiful lush pads, vibrant soundscapes and ambient textures. They are ideal for nearly all subgenres of electronic music, but, like with all the Touch The Universe sound banks, are perfectly suited to the exotic, progressive, and futuristic styles of trance.

The Serene Cosmos soundset turned out phenomenal, and the amount of fun I had creating it and working with Thorn in general, continually blows away my expectations. It just keeps getting better the more I learn and the more I experiment with it.

SERENE COSMOS DESCRIPTION

Serene Cosmos contains exceptionally beautiful pads, lush atmospheres, and serene soundscapes that sound truly unique thanks to Thorn's additive/wavtable properties combined with the original harmonic oscillator - thorn is capable of some amazingly beautiful sounds. In addition, many of the patches utilize the noise layer to the full extent, adding a tasteful organic layer or textures complimenting its live synthesis. A lot of love and appreciation also went into crafting these additional noise samples, blending as many as 5 layers of ambiences into one source. The goal was to subtlely aid the beauty and power of thorns beautiful unique sound, without ever masking it.

In addition, Serene Cosmos also includes many sequences ideal for a cinematic and modern electronic vibe. A major advantage of sequences is the ability to transpose the layered patterns in one go, and use creative legato to add interesting variations. Furthermore, some utterly gorgeous plucks and keys were also included, truly coming alive with vibrance with velocity and modulation settings. There are just so many wonderful routings Thorn has to alter the sound, including the oscillator fx, the harmonic oscillator, the fitlers, gorgeous fx, and glitch pattern. All of these were use as modulation sources. So a pluck or pad could turn into something completely wild and different sounding than the original with the modulation wheel. I had a lot of fun here.

Finally, but not least, some sharp, modern and tasteful leads are also included, in addition to some awesome analog sounding synthesized drums, in addition to hybrid synthesized and organic instruments like gamelan, and synth choirs -- never relying on noise sample, only aiding.
