contortDistort releases "Echoes in the Aether" for Absynth 5

contortDistort has announced the release of Echoes in the Aether, a new library of 52 new patches, 494 macro patches, and 64 new samples for Absynth 5 by sound designer Christian Kjeldsen.

Echoes in the Aether includes:

• Airy and smooth to rhythmic and complex pads.
• Soft pulsing leads to massive grooving bass sounds.
• Eerie to serene, otherworldly soundscapes.
• Edgy and raw synth sounds.
• Uniquely processed drums.

The goal of this project was to create unique sounds that are fun, creative, and interactive, while still being playable and useful in a variety of genres. All sounds have rhythmic aspects built into the macro controls. The setup and layout of the controls allow for a wide amount of variation and exploration.

Each of the 52 sounds comes with a variety of macro patches, which are additional sounds that were created by using only the macro controls of the performance page. Macro patches give you a glimpse to what is possible with the macro controls of a patch and provides the availability of immediate variation.
