Aurora
for Ableton Live
Aurora
for Ableton Live
Aurora is a semi-generative drone machine instrument. It creates a five tone harmony from white noise, which can then be further modulated. Turning the "Freeze" knob while playing a MIDI note and then letting it go will hold the note infinitely. The "Distance" knob blends between a wet noisy texture and the harmonic resonance, creating a sense of space, while the "Solar Winds" knob introcudes the generative aspect of Aurora, namely random filter movement and extra overtones + drifting on the stereo spectrum.
Tundra
for Ableton Live
Tundra is two slightly different instruments for each season. It is a breathing organ with gritty harmonic characteristics provided by inharmonic strings. Tundra could have rumbling lows and piercing highs depending on the configuration. The Summer variant sacrifices some of the fine tuning options in exchange for some harmonic distortion effects, while the Winter version gives more control over the drawbars and their tunings.
Tajga
for Ableton Live
Tajga is two effect racks for each season. The Summer variant is a combination of a filter and a pan sequencer, through which the signal gets sent to a pitchshifted grain delays. The Winter variant is a diffusor/pitchshifted filter delay, that sends the signal through a highly resonant filter, diffusor reverb and delay and then splits it into mid/side, pitchshifting the sides with additional delay, while letting the unshifted signal through in the middle. Within the range of the 2x16 parameters lies wide and lush atmospheres, ranging from subtle overtone earcandy to brightly resonant soundscapes and rhythms.
Nostalgia
for Ableton Live
Nostalgia is a tape, vinyl and bitcrusher effect compressed into a single Ableton Live device. It can add smooth analog warmth to any sound or destroy it completely. Although it uses tape and vinyl effects, it does not seek to realistically emulate them, but rather take inspiration from their sound and push it beyond its limits and to stand as a simple, yet powerful sound design tool.
Delanes
for Ableton Live
Delanes is a three lane highway of paralell processing, where the speed limit can be set for each of them individually. Delanes is cabable of creating complex and strange echoes, mimicing the chaotic nature of a real highway. It can make the audio material completely unrecognizeable or introduce some slight uncanny sparkle.
