The next level of METAL Drum Library: SpaceMan is a sound designer dream ... really gives out chaotic tunes. In fact, this is what should happen if you build a spring synthesizer.

Features

Spring converters help add a flickering metal atmosphere to electrical and electronic sounds since, how someone came up with the brilliant idea of twisting a small tin spring inside a guitar amplifier and passing a signal through it. Since then, spring-loaded converters have not undergone significant development - the biggest step forward in improving, it seems, was: "Add more springs!" - and their unnatural sound, slightly sharp overtones and the tendency for them to become "SPOILING-ONG-ONG-ONG-ONG-ONG-ONG-ONG-ONG", soon made them the choice of a poor person compared to plate converters, echo cameras and, after all, digital machines from Lexicon.

However, the sound of a spring converter has firmly entered our musical memory; he played an integral role in determining the guitar sounds of many legendary rockers; he also found his way into countless synthesizers and keyboards, thanks to the same reverberation path in the amplifier. Spring converters are currently a bit of a niche product. But we have undeniable sympathy for them.

And our absolute favorite - Ekdahl Moisturizer - a spring reverber created to be abused, with its three springs open so you can reach them, plus a multi-mode filter and LFO, built right into it. This thing was not created to add subtle notes of reverberation to your tracks ... it is designed for sound design and sound chaos, and it forms the basis of SpaceMan.

PREPARED SINTESATOR:

SpaceMan is what will happen if you build a spring synthesizer. Seriously. Imagine if every note of your synthesizer, instead of launching an electronic oscillator, began to oscillate the spring with a given step: this is the essence of SpaceMan. We used the same E-Bow guitar techniques as in Uproar, only this time we used them in combination with the built-in Moisturizer filter to generate unstable, fluctuating, springy main waves. Thanks to an approximately minute selection for the note and random start points, these waves are surprisingly unpredictable and you can adjust them using the spring tank level controller. The main sound, of course, is highly refereeing, metal, uneven and, uh, springy.

Then we went a little to the Dark Side, using brushes, bows, nails, screwdrivers, bolts on racks and cable ends to touch, shake, scrape and otherwise intervene in the work of three springs, while adjusting the filter to taste. This cruelty has also been fixated and randomized and can be tuned to three different tastes of pollution: Type 1 includes scratches, brushes and stable contact sounds; Type 2 covers knocking, touch and short-term contact sounds; Type 3 explores breathing sounds, feedback and tonal components. They can be used individually or in combination and have their own level controller.

ADDITIONAL REGULATORS:

There are several more synthesizer elements that can be connected: The large-scale noise from the beautiful Korg 770 ( we said that we will often use it, remember? ); harmonic generator with one pen, which adds a progressive number of harmonic series overtones; Sub-osc sinusoid for amplifying sound; and a complete set of filter circuits, including a high frequency filter and a multi-mode resonance filter with two low frequency modes and one strip. Connect all this to a special LFO, and you can get wonderful swinging, whistling drifts in the sound spectrum.

Separate Contact and Mute regulators determine how much ( if any ) the sound of the initial contact and the attenuation of the note are heard; they imitate the "play" of the springs, tapping them, and then stopping them manually. And in conclusion, we have full control of Envelope and always popular Glitch Control to create musical intelligent random patches with one click. See how easy we all did?

SpaceMan is designed for left-hand atmospheric sound design, strange, shaving reverbering noise, unique background textures and synthesis with a very unusual sound print. It sounds great in combination with conventional synthesizers, adding strangeness and complexity to the sound of paper clips; in addition, he can bring paint and movement to a number of music genres, including EDM, trans, soundtrack and ambient.
