  • 96KHZ 24BIT • 658MB • 367 FILES • UCS 

    Welcome to a world of dark synthetic motion—where sound bends, morphs, and evolves into something cinematic, intense, and deeply textured.

    Cinematic Synth Movements is a collection of 367 meticulously crafted sound effects (658MB, 96kHz/24-bit), designed to bring movement, weight, and depth to any project. From slow, ominous bass movements to high-energy impacts and whooshes, this library thrives in the space between tension and release.

    Divided into two sections:

    • Designed – A set of powerful, cinematic whooshes and impacts, carefully shaped from the included source material. These sounds are polished and production-ready, built to hit hard.
    • Source Sounds – The foundation for deeper sound design. Bass morphs, synthesized textures, evolving sequences, whooshes, and impacts—layered and ready to use but left open for further sculpting and sequencing. These aren’t your average “source sounds” – they already pre-layered and carry depth and movement, waiting to be shaped into something new.

    Both Designed and Source sound effects are completely reverb-free, giving you full creative control to shape it to any mix or environment.

    Whether you’re crafting futuristic weaponry, spells, trailer sequences, or larger-than-life cinematic moments, Cinematic Synth Movements delivers dark, modern, and evolving sounds that push beyond the ordinary.
