Experimental / IDM Roulette

Cycles & Spots deliver the sequel to SampleMod, a sequenced sample slicer with different play modes and lots of modulation options. New in this version is the slicer using (adjustable) transient detection, 300 new handpicked samples that work well with the instrument (importing possible), more flexible LFOs (routing), various randomize / reset buttons and better modulation visualization. The implemented samples total 2 Gigabytes, so lots of possibilities to create your own presets. CPU usage is decent so more than one instance could be layered to create more complex soundscapes / songs, although using only one can create interesting long modulating results.

DDL has come up with 200 Wav loops and 8 Ableton Live instrument racks all made with the use of granular synthesis.

That’s why these sounds are beautiful, weird or both. The Wav files include evolving pads, rolling rhythms and odd sequences for Deep/ Tech/ Minimal House, Chill Out / Ambient or Experimental Music. The instruments have driving Arpeggiators and strange modulating pads with macro knobs for changing the sounds. 470 MB to create something different.

Cycles & Spots created a a new version of their first Reaktor instrument Lifeform with 400 samples implemented, a perfect tool for Ambient productions and soundscape building. It's very easy and quick to get beautiful or harmonic or disharmonic textures, even using only one sample. These can be very dynamic in terms of changes in the actual sound over long time periods (You can cross-modulate all LFOs with each other). Though it is also possible to dive deep into this instrument and control every little detail. The Lifeform concept is to have 2 granular samplers playing and mixing these together plus lots of modulation. In fact this version has a modulation matrix featuring 8 LFOs (sine to random) and 8 destinations for the granular samplers. Both samplers feature the standard grain funktions and can be frequency shifted and equalized. Effect-wise there are grain delays for the left and right channel and a superb lush reverb.
