Detunized has released Digital Domain - a set of three new multi-format libraries.
Binaries - a collection of FM sounds taken from a vintage ISA soundboard.
Each Binaries patch is made of several velocity layers that reproduce the authentic sound of an 4 Operator OPL3 FM chip and brings you an unique mixture of pristine FM clarity and dusty Digital to Analog conversion.
Phase Facets - a library based on the Interactive Phase Distortion principle.
IPD synthesis was meant as an effort to simplify sound programming compared to calssic FM and it is capable of producing bright and lively tunes with sharp attacks and digital precision.
Phase Facets Universal delivers 31 multi-format patches that trigger "filter-less" and "non-substractive" sounds with rich harmonic content and agile brightness.
fTable - an enormous collection of synthesized waveforms that were created on a Hohner HS1E sampler. All sets of waveforms use the additive and hand drawing capabilities of this unit.
The samples are recorded through the samplers proprietary 16 Bit DAC that is a little harsh but also gives unique colorization to the sounds.
Each library supports samples and players that read these formats:
SFZ (Ploque Sforzando, Cakewalk SFZ player, Directwave and many more)
NKI (NI Kontakt)
SXT (Reason Sampler)
EXS (Logic Sampler)
FXP (Halion Sampler.

Not all science fiction envisions either the future or the vast depths of uncharted space as just a vast playground of wondrous beauty, while back home exists a near perfect earth based utopian society where all problems have been solved and all humanity now lives in harmony.
Instead, some sci-fi future visions of the future are darker, bleaker, and these visions of deep space likewise show that not all exploration might be just fun and games – a future might perhaps be more like that of Prometheus, Terminator, or Blade Runner, than of Star Trek- to use a cinematic metaphor. While The Resonant Drop does contain some pretty and shimmering deep space ambiences, it is mostly intended for that more disconcerting, cyberpunk, perhaps even downright scary future-vision.

From Keys to Pads and back
6op introduces a new line of libraries that derive their sounds from 6-Operator FM hardware synthesis.
KeyPads Live Pack is the first installment of this new series and puts focus on Keys and Pad sounds.
Containing 40+ Live Rack instruments this pack is made for the keyboardist who just wants to stack layers and for the sound designer likewise.
The Racks have a consistent Macro layout so that each sound can be easily tweaked from Keyboard to Pad and back.
Especially the ModSpeed and AudioTranspose Macros - also in conjunction with the Color Macro - reveal unexpected modulation possibilities. With this potential it is easy to create interesting variations of the preset sound.
KeyPads Multi Format contains 44 different patches in 5 multi-purpose formats that load into Kontakt, Reason, Logic, Dimension, Halion, Directwave and a lot more software samplers. This guarantees for easy handling of the included sounds.
Included formats: SFZ, NKI, SXT, EXS, FXP

Specifications:
Live Pack: compatible with Live 8/9, 44 Instruments, 550 MB

AudioThing has released Soundscapes Vol.2 for Native Instruments Kontakt.
Soundscapes Vol.2 includes soundscapes, textures and ambiences ready to use as Kontakt instruments or WAV loops. These sounds are divided into four categories: binaural, concrete, inductor and piezo. Like Soundscapes Vol.1, the samples were recorded in different places across the world (Las Vegas, Dublin, Prague, Naples, and Cosenza) using studio or portable equipment. AudioThing used different types of microphones, including handmade piezo and inductor mics, a large condenser microphone and a binaural microphone set. All samples are seamless loops, so if you don't have Kontakt it is possible to load them directly into your DAW.
Details:
- 35 Kontakt Instruments (.nki).
- 35 Samples (48kHz / 24-bit).
- Formats: Kontakt and WAV (loops).
- Size: 207 MB.
- Samples derived from: binaural recordings, inductor and piezo effects, mixed objects/places.
- Native Instruments Kontakt 4.2.4+ or 5 full version required.
