Extreme Modular Environments

Unique 3-channel sample player & sound design tool from Si Begg, based entirely on modular sources

EXTREME MODULAR ENVIRONMENTS is a fantastic and distinctive sound design tool that enables you to simply and rapidly construct dense and complex ambiences based on modular sources, ranging from musical pads to extreme sounds to give you virtually endless sound design options. Many of the sounds are from the personal sound archive of the composer Si Begg and have been utilized in soundtracks, trailers, and other compositions. The sounds used were designed to be used in a wide range of projects, but generally speaking, they are most suited to cinematic or experimental music, which calls for atmospheric, rich, and modern sounds.

At its heart, EXTREME MODULAR ENVIRONMENTS is a 3-channel sample player, with each playing a sound and with its own set of dedicated effects. For each channel you can control the pitch, Sample Start point, amplitude / filter envelopes, saturation and reverb send. All three channels are then mixed together and put through master high pass and low pass filters, then finally a limiter.

The other key part of the instrument is the convolution reverb, which any of the three channels can be sent to. You can choose any one of the many bespoke impulse responses, ranging from straightforward to extreme sound design. This adds great depth and atmospheric detail beyond the standard reverbs you might usually come across.

EXTREME MODULAR ENVIRONMENTS comes with over 130 specially curated Snapshots that have been created as a jumping off point for the instrument. These Snapshots have been sorted into various types of sounds such as Atmospheric, Keys, Pads, Leads, Polysynths, Bass and FX.
