Scrubbing Monkeys

These and all other packs not only sound great but they show some of things you can do with the fabulous Fathom Synth. Keep up the good work and keep the packs coming.

Purple Mist is my favorite Scrubbing Monkeys Fathom sound bank. It has a classic analog/digital hybrid feel, and makes full use of dynamic modulation techniques for optimal performance. Patches include lush ambient pads like Glass memories, and The dark way home, to highly dynamic basses like Bamboo boxes, and Rooted, that all use a mod wheel to completely transform the sound into an evolving rhythm-scape. And for those aspiring sound designers who want to understand the design behind the sound, Scrubbing Monkeys has meticulously programmed and placed each audio component and modulation routing in an order that demonstrates how each section of the audio path connects in a coherent fashion, which showcases the design process itself. Highly recommend sound bank.

Scrubbing Monkeys has come up with a great set of sounds for Fathom. In getting to know a new synth I use these sounds as a guide through the possibilities within Fathom. I would rather go through a bank of sounds than read the manual. The sounds are very musical and usable in many styles. There are powerful Bass, full Pads and tasty FM sounds. My favorite patch is "Resonating glass bass". It's great to see mod wheel implementation and annotated. Clearly I would not have come up with these on my own. I look forward to more sounds from Scrubbing Monkeys and Fathom.

Out of the box, a lot of these Purple Mist sounds are quite brash and industrial, .

If your mix is going nowhere, try dropping in one of these presets. Trust me, it will open up new avenues for you. I've been using these presets myself now for months and they are perfect for epic EDM themes where a catchy lead needs a memorable patch.

Very rich and ethereal with an incredible attention to detail, these presets are great for any ambient work. This is not some hobby bank, it was originally contracted professionally for the Fathom sound bank store and we liked it so much we made it part of our film score bundle. The KVR release is the latest version direct from the sound designer and probably the best transcription of this now famous preset bank. If any of the patches sound familiar it is probably because you heard them in a movie or television score. Highly recommended.
