Arctica

Pads, Synths and Atmospheres

Arctica is an instrument based on several types of synth and pad sounds. From sharp and epic polysynths, pads, to cold, ambient, and dreamy atmospheres and drones. It shares the same architecture as Deep Blue adding a few more features!

If you are familiar with the previous release, Deep Blue, this instrument has the same workflow, which is building the harmonic structure of your musical piece in which you can separately control bass (layer A) and pad (layer B). Basically, it is mapped as a split keyboard with two different layers: A-Bass and B-Synth (pad, drone, or else).

Tweaking options are limited but highly functional. For example, you can separately, in real-time control lo/hi pass filter for each layer, which can be very useful and clearly visible on the interface. You can also adjust glide per each layer.

What you get?

• Pads and synths (55) Textures and drones (35) Motions (35) Mirage mapped (20)

Additionally, you have 20 bass sounds which can be changed inside a single nki file. Mirage sounds are also implemented inside each nki file, but we have also mapped it as separate instruments. Theoretically, you can have hundreds and hundreds of sound combinations.
