Corrosion

A collection of post-apocalyptic inspired pads created for the Pianobook/LABS Afrorack Discord Challenge.

The story

I listened the different sounds provided by LABS and Afrorack and isolated some very short elements. Then, a LOT of stretching, resampling and effects were involved to mutate these tiny bits. Progressively, a common feeling starts to emerge from these over processed sounds.

This is how Corrosion was born: a collection of pads with a sense of post-apocalyptic and melancholy.

At the end, 7 different signals presented in a DecentSampler instrument. You can change the volume and pan of each signal, global volume is by default linked to CC11.
I kept the CC1 free for custom setups, e.g. you can assign the mod wheel to an individual volume slider to create some variation over time, I created some presets using that technique.

  • An extraordinary bundle of layered sounds!

    This is an incredible ambience machine that features 7 different layers of sounds that can be mixed and paned in any way the user wants. Each layer is simply mezmerizing, characterized by a vaguely synthetic and textured ambience. Everything is presented in a fantastic GUI that includes depth effects and full ADSR settings, which is tops off the very high quality of the entire instrument.

    Inside you will also find 8 extra presets, with the incredible idea of minding some layers to the ModWheel in order to create a dynamic instrument that evolves in a very unique way.

    What a submission by Fred!

  • Just brilliant!

    Love this also. Downloaded most of your sample packs and had great fun with this. Once again, thank you so much for creating and sharing your work.

  • Perfect ambient and sound

    Reminds me a lot of the Metroid Prime ost, it is really cool.
    The sounds are clean and have a lot of character. It is pretty well-done
