Seeker is a sample exploration thingamy designed to dive deep into the core DNA of sounds, revealing textures and tones no-one knew were lurking in there. It's about the thrill of discovery, about getting your hands dirty with raw audio and uncovering hidden gems in the most unexpected sonic crevices. THE NEW SEEKER It's really easy to use ! Load a sound, play a note, wiggle a few knobs and you are in control of a sonic microscope. Zoom through time, tone, and texture with the modwheel and any MIDI CCs you assign. Seeker is a journey that’s unpredictable, adventurous, and very very SOUND DUST. mid the seekquencer A deceptively simple yet deep sequencer that creatively controls the playback head position - from subtle micro-movements to wild, unpredictable leaps. It reacts intelligently to the seek controller, adding motion, chaos, or groove to your sound in all the right (and wrong) places. 'HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO GREAT - lots and lots of deeply joyful and entrancing playing around while losing all track of time. It really is quite wonderful. In about 15 minutes, I made this 👇 just by throwing a random sample of my clarinet playing in there and mashing some white keys. Really incredibly fun and something I know I'm going to be using for, well, forever.'

Whatever you throw at it, Seeker will help you cannibalize and reinvent. It’s a Philosophy... and we like that kinda thing To seek is to explore—to leave behind the predictable and wander into the unknown. Seeker reminds us that the most beautiful sounds come from the rough edges, the artifacts, the accidents. Seeker invites a mindset of curiosity. It doesn’t give you answers - it gives you tools to ask better sonic questions.

Experimental drawbar organ device. A sample library for Kontakt VST Anchor 1 orgone 2 £35 An organic analogic synth beastie. What happens when you build an organ out of classic synth parts ? 11 classic synth oscillators 1.2GB of 24bit multi samples for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8 or above. add to cart Orgone began as an experiment around the idea of "what would a Hammond organ with sawtooth waves sound like ?" and slowly grew into a huge modular machine that combines multi sampled waveforms from several classic synths into a 1GB+ Kontakt sample instrument that goes way beyond the possibilities of any of the originals. THE SYNTHS Moog Voyager sawtooth and square waves - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note. Dsi Pro 2 narrow square waves - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note. Yamaha CS15 square waves - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note. Roland SH101 saw tooth + sub waves - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note. Moog unfiltered noise - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note (which is probably overkill - but hey) mid Orgone 2 an unusual drawbar organ for Kontakt VST Orgone 2 an unusual drawbar organ for Kontakt VST Orgone 2 - an unusual drawbar organ for Kontakt VST Orgone 2 an unusual drawbar organ for Kontakt VST 1/4 ORGONE 2 uses the basic additive architecture of the drawbar organ to create a deeply malleable instrument with huge polyphony and a complex but relatively simple operating system. It then adds the filters, envelopes, lfos etc of subtractive synthesis to each individual drawbar. It's like having 4 classic 11 oscillator synths in one modular box. Because the quirks and character of the original ageing synths (30 plus years in the case of the CS15) have been retained Orgone has a living organic sound that can go to places other electronic instruments can only dream of. This isn't another plastic EDM box...although it can do amazing thick creamy basses. Orgone is great for woozy string synth pads, throbby beat synced cinematic backdrops, gnarly "Frankie Teardrop" organs and 60s keyboards, ethereal theremins, evolving space drones and GREAT BIG ultra saw synth tones.

She is packed to the brim with specially devised samples made from a variety of slutty analogue hardware synths and keyboards. All sample sets morph and loop through various transitions for a mind-boggling selection of unique but Wurly-ish, Rhodes-y, organ-esque, DX like electric piano type sounds....but of course there is a twist which makes her very different. Think Radiohead, Jon Hopkins, Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds or maybe Steve Reich in a fist fight with Trent Reznor. The main interface is divided into 12 parts which (if you look hard enough) show the octave of a keyboard starting at C on the left. Each column gives individual parameter control for each corresponding note of the six octave range, whatever you do to the C column affects all of the Cs and nothing else. mid Flutter EP for Kontakt by Sound Dust Flutter EP for Kontakt by Sound Dust Flutter EP for Kontakt by Sound Dust Flutter EP for Kontakt by Sound Dust Flutter EP for Kontakt by Sound Dust Flutter EP for Kontakt by Sound Dust Flutter EP for Kontakt by Sound Dust Flutter EP for Kontakt by Sound Dust 1/3 You get volume envelope, pan, low and high pass filter, filter lfo speed and shape, and 3 effects sends but in Flutter they can be different for every note of the octave.

Flutter has a special trigger mode for each individual note over 6 octaves which can set BPM synced note repeats from 64ths to bars (inc triplets). The wavetable version adds a master trigger mode that effects the whole keyboard with BPM synced note repeats going from granular to 1 bar. The modwheel-powered Flutter control unleashes the 'fluttering' effect that gives this beauty her name. Wiggle the wheel for instant live jitter/glitch/fluttering effects.

Went straight into a soundtrack I'm working on" - Paul Hartnoll - Orbital "This is just what Omnisphere has been waiting for" - Phil Hartnoll - Orbital 1/2 mid Philosphy... Omnisphere is a lot like a sampler from the early days of sampling. She can happily loop around pre-written loop points, but for user samples* she can't do multi sampling. Instead of each note having its own sample to play back at several velocities, one sample is stretched over the whole keyboard. Higher notes are simply played back at faster rates, lower notes are slower. This means that looping samples move at different rates across the range of the instrument. This is terrible if you are looking for accurate renditions of real world instruments, but if you embrace it this can be a joyful playground of creative happenstance.

- STRING POOL | sound-dust
Beautiful and brutalised bpm synced violin bowing. A sample library for Kontakt VST STRING POOL £40 A beautifully played clean and brutally textured violin bowing instrument with BPM synced mod wheel speed control - play a note and move the mod wheel to bow faster or slower, push down on your keyboard for aftertouch controlled volume swelling. Versions for Kontakt 5 & Kontakt 6 2.5GB download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8 and/or 6.1.1 add to cart The design process of STRINGPOOL meant forcing virtuoso violinist Sophia Bartlette into many painful days of tortuous sampling (nobody really enjoys sampling - don't ever let them make you think otherwise). While I quietly slurped coffee Sophia teased hours of beautifully lyrical long bowed single notes from her 200-year-old instrument. For every note, four different bowing speeds with a hint of vibrato. She truly suffered for our art. From these hours of recordings I created hundreds of seamless, clean single note loops and an alternative set of 'treated' samples mangled through tape, valves and Sound Dust malarkey. Then it was all poured into a complex Kontakt engine with a simple interface and wealth of expressive possibilities. What I really love about String Pool is how naturally expressive it is in a way I haven't encountered before. Having volume swells on tap through aftertouch and being able to switch bowing speeds on the fly allows for really sensitive and reactive programming. Add the effects on the XY in to taste and get weird - Marcus Thorne Bagala - composer - This American Life, Conviction: American Panic, Dress Codes String Pool String Pool String Pool String Pool 1/5 mid The true joy of STRINGPOOL is that you can morph in real-time through the BPM synced bowing tempo divisions with the modwheel (or CC1) while also using your keyboard aftertouch (or a CC of your choice) for volume expression to create realistically human violining sounds. Also, every control can be automated in your DAW or midi learned for unrealistically human violining sounds. STRINGPOOL may never sound 'quite' as good as Sophia in full flow - but for MUCH less pain you can get a little of her magic and a little bit of Sound Dust magic on your tracks.
