The Foundry

The Foundry, von Sonicsmiths für Big Fish Audio entwickelt, ist ein völlig neuartiges Werkzeug für Komponisten und Sounddesigner. Basierend auf Native Instruments Kontakt  Sampler ist The Foundry ein Sound Design Creation Tool mit welchem sich aus über 18.000 Samples (über 18GB ) Trillionen von Sounds gestalten, manipulieren und kombinieren lassen.

Sie werden nie wieder auf Presets zurückgreifen, mit Hilfe des neu entwickelten AARE Algorithmus  kreiert The Foundry Unmengen eigene Patches und Sounds.

AARE – Adjective Assignable Randomizer Engine

Um sich, auf der Suche nach dem spezifischen Sound nicht ständig durch tausende Presets wühlen zu müssen, haben wir ein Maschine entwickelt, die für Sie ständig neue Patches und Sounds entstehen läßt, auf Grund einfacher Richtlinen und Beschreibungen die Sie vorgeben.

Suchen Sie zum Beispiel einen düsteren, pulsierenden und mysteriösen Sound, wählen Sie einfach dies Adjektive aus, starten den Zufallsgenerator und The Foundry generiert selbständig neue Patches nach Ihren gewählten Vorgaben

3-Mode Step Sequencer

Weitere Beschreibung in englischer Sprache

Rhythmics and FX sound sets can create unique and quickly-designable rhythms, or, along with tonal beds/textures, can create amazing lead lines and creative chordal patterns.

4-Way Morphing Engine

You can load up to four different “core” sounds into The Foundry. Each of these sounds has independent processing, manipulation, and can be morphed via the X-Y Pad Designer, key range, velocity, or CC.

Use the X-Y Pad Designer to create, save, and sync playback to your own modulatable pathways.

The Foundry has 4 different groups to select from: Beds and Pads (tonal sustained layers), Textures (atonal, moving material), FX (single one-shot hits, FX, and short articulated instruments), and Rhythmics (sonic “kits”). These groups range from Non-pitched to Pitched, and Simple to Complex.

OTHER FEATURES

• Template Mode: Make any sound Pulse, create Drops/Rises, or instantly put The Foundry into other modes such as Long Release, Hard Attack, etc.

• Body Designer: With over sixty different body types, you can manipulate each of the “core” sounds by sending them through different material types, such as tubes, bricks, glass, dog bodies, and more!

• 6 modulators assignable to Filters, Pitch, Amplitude, and Surround Panning allow for a wide range of stuttering, pulsing, frequency modulation, and many standard synthesis techniques.

• Graining Synthesis: You can take most of the patches in the library and add the granular synthesis effect, with stretching, panning, and many other ways of manipulating the sound.

• Surround Mode: Set all four sounds to go out different channels, as well as pan in surround.

• Unique reverb selections: including Swaps, Churches, Studios, etc.

• Fully adjustable Filters, Distortion, Compressors, Delays, Panning Rotators, Surround Routing Abilities, and many more creative tools.

The Foundry is a third-party library, based in Native Instruments' Kontakt Engine. In general, whatever is listed on NI’s Kontakt website for the current version will be the machine requirements for The Foundry. We can give recommendations, but are ultimately bound by the system requirements of Kontakt Player Engine. We highly recommend running the Foundry on a computer with SSD drives for optimal performance.
