Cluster Sound releases CS15D for Ableton Live

Cluster Sound has released CS15D, a multi-sample Live Pack based on the vintage Yamaha CS-15D.

Here's what they say:

The CS-15D is a monophonic analog synth with loads of character, one of the most solid and warm single-VCO machine ever. The synth features 29 preset voices divided in two mixable channels, plus a manual section comprising a variable pulse-saw oscillator, a PW modulator, a noise generator and a 12db filter with a dedicated ADSR envelope.

Despite referring to an array of realistic instrument names (Tuba, Oboe, Horn, Harpsi, Xilophone, ...) the 29 presets give a variety of synthetic sounds ranging from fat basses to solid percussive organs and warm brass strings. These sounds can be altered by the Brilliance slider which acts in several interesting ways depending on the selected preset.

CS15D is based on 74 multi-sample recordings reproducing all the presets with different brilliance amounts, several variations of the VCF envelope and manual oscillator settings (including a tuned noise). The Live Pack features 90 Instrument Racks with useful macro controls, including special Mixed Racks for easy drag 'n drop customization.

• Size: 1.5 GB.
