Time Textures

ORCHESTRAL TEXTURES – REINVENTED

By tying four basic parameters to the mod wheel, it becomes possible to change the sound – anything from intimate and orchestral to spheric and rhythmic – at just a single turn.

A SOUND EMITTING DEVICE

The engine consists of two two sound emitters, which produce sounds based on each individual instrument source.

PRESET BROWSER

Choose from over 200 creative and inspiring presets. use them out-of-the-box or modify them to create your own unique sounds.

• DYNAMIC CONTROL
Whether a keystroke calls for intimacy, power or anything in between. Using the dynamic slider can bring out new and previously unheard qualities to the soundscape, or pull it back for something more muted and romantic.

• MOVEMENT
Add sound particles of special instrument articulations to the texture and create a morphing sensation between the sounds.

• OCTAVES
Easily control how many octaves are emitted from the sound source to widen the overall dynamic spectrum or to stay in a specific range.

• SPEED
This parameter controls the speed in which the particles are played back. A higher value leads to a more dense texture.

• ATTACK VOLUME
Adjusts the volume of the first sound particles played when a new note has been triggered.

• SEED
Determines the way each particle is triggered.

• NOTE SELECT
Changes how the engine interprets your played notes.

• SPREAD
Determines the position of the sound particles in the stereo field depending on the pan settings.

• GAIN
Adjusts the overall gain of the emitter.

• PAN
The panning of each emitter can be adjusted.
 
QUALITY RECORDINGS IN A BREAKTHROUGH ENGINE
• METICULOUSLY RECORDED
TIME TEXTURES consists of 25 instrument patches, each one meticulously recorded and sampled, with up to six round robins and up to five dynamic layers. For each instrument patch, we also recorded several instrument-specific articulations in addition to the sustains, which can be faded into the texture using a slider.

• MULTIPLE ARTICULATIONS
The string patches each have their own tremolo and staccato samples that can be used to enrich your texture and add movement. The woodwind patches feature Tenuto, Triplet Tongue and Staccato samples. For the Brass patches we included Tongue Staccato, Flutter Marcato and Muted Staccato articulations. And for the keys section, in addition to the harp, felt piano and grand piano samples, we recorded harp harmonics, as well as several prepared grand piano samples.

• EVER-EVOLVING SOUNDSCAPES
All samples were edited in a special way that allows the TIME TEXTURES engine to arrange them in a certain order and form them into soundscapes – stringing together different sound particles in an ever-changing way.
