Galbanum has announced the release of Synthesism 01, the first member of a new series of products in the Galbanum Sample Line. The Synthesism series is the harmonic and melodic cousin of the
atonal-percussion-based Abstraction series.
Synthesism loops are designed to be mixed with existing drum and percussion loops to symbiotically fill in the rhythmic gaps, provide a tonal melodic identity, and co-formulate futuristic grooves that are more infectious than a viral marketing campaign. Synthesism 01 focuses on chunky negative-space baselines, angular melodic stabs, ill-behaved electro rudeness, oblique synth heretics, minimal polyrhythmic ostinatos, and asymmetric tonal clusters.
Synthesism 01 loop content is produced at native tempos of 128 BPM & 106 BPM and is designed to effortlessly stretch from 90 BPM to 140 BPM and beyond to fit all tempo ranges used in current dance, electronic, and urban music sub-genres. Synthesism 01 is particularly suitable for: Progressive House, Electro, Tech House, and Techno, Experimental Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Glitch Hop, and Dub Step Breaks, Electronica, IDM, Synth Pop, and Abstract Rock Film Scoring, Game Development, and Sound FX and any other cross-genre music style that borrows from these influences.
Specifications:
- 1,536 files (over 1GB of new samples, 768 new loops, 128 loops in C-minor at 128 BPM). 128 loops in F-minor at 128BPM. 128 loops in G-minor at 128BPM. 128 loops in A-minor at 106 BPM. 128 loops in C-minor at 106 BPM. 128 loops in D-minor at 106 BPM. 768 single-hit bass and synth note and stab samples.
- All loops are 2 measures long and are designed to allow using partial segments of the full loop to give thousands of variations. Loops are available in Apple Loops, and Acid Loops formats. Due to the nature of these loops, REX2 format is not available for this product.
- Single-hit samples are intelligently grouped into 24 32-sample construction-kit instrument folders and named with MIDI note names to facilitate auto-key-mappings for supported samplers.
Features:
- All 128 BPM loops are designed to be played together with standard 4-to-the-floor Kick-Snare-Hi-Hat patterns. All 106 BPM loops are designed to work well with various break grooves. Synthesism loops do not include percussion elements. This allow users to use their own favorite drum samples, or to combine Synthesism loops with other percussion loop libraries such as the Abstraction Line.
- All loops are provided without additional auxiliary Reverb or delay effects. This keeps the loops pristinely clean and sharp, enables easy custom slicing and editing, and allows high quality reverb such as 2CAudio's Aether and other send effects to be added as needed at the mix stage by the producer.
- All individual samples are made in stereo and make use of extreme spatial processing techniques at the sample level. This produces loops which are very active spatially while keeping perfect silence in-between hits when desired. The result is loops that can cut and punch through even dense mixes without taking up huge amounts of mix space.
Pricing and Availability
Single formats available for $39.95 with the option to add additional formats for $14.95. Apple Loops, Acid Loops, and the Single Hit samples are all separate downloads. Various combinations are also available.
