DUST ENGINE #2 is a uniquely quirky combination of odd chaotic synths and sparkling acoustic haze.
It doesn't even play the same sound every time !
4 articulations knitted from rare & weird hardware synths, glistening piano loops, maudlin trumpet and looped guitar, all mangled together with unlikely sampling to create a gorgeous gossamer haze or deep low miasma.
Inside the easy-to-use interface are 4 cunningly curated, interlocking articulations plus handy FX to quickly build the perfect sound for your sonic universe.
DUST ENGINE #2 is a liberation from preset hell that just wants to be explored - use the patch randomizers to get you started.
the sounds
A curated selection of electro & acoustic that SIT TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY
Long evolving samples of every note with interesting loops, multiple velocity layers and unlikely happenings.
ARTICULATION 1
Hammond 102200 + Dave Smith Evolver
4 chaotic round robins with 2 x Evolver patches and 2 x Hammond Synth patches.
Each note could be one of the four sounds, and you never know which you'll get.
All recorded through a Chase Bliss Generation Loss MKII for organic burble.
ARTICULATION 2
A BPM synced murmuration of multiple piano loops and plastic trumpet.
ARTICULATION 3
A freeform gauze of piano and Gretsch guitar loops.
ARTICULATION 4
Deep deep analogue or gritty digital sub bass from DSi Evolver.
the interface
Some handy controls to build your universe
ARTICULATIONS 1 to 3
Sample start control + 3 volume faders, one for each articulation.
ARTICULATION 4 - SUB BASS
click the dot for analogue or crispy digital.
TAPE and GLUE controls
These controls beautifully interact to squash and breathe an organic, filthy wholeness into everything .
''Sound Dust makes one of the strongest arguments for the sampler as a true, expressive instrument. The care, creativity, quirkiness & MUSICALITY found in all their instruments has led to many inspiring moments for me. Highly recommended.'
