Micron - Monosource

Playable Derived Instruments

Each MICRON library is meticulously crafted around a specific genre, mood, or application. These are focused sonic palettes that capture exactly the sound you need, whether it’s suspenseful tension for a thriller, the driving pulse of a rock anthem, or the layered complexity of modern electronic music.

The XY Playable libraries take this a step further, designed for direct musical performance. Play chords, melodies, or evolving textures with ease, while MonoSource transforms a single hand-picked note into rich, expressive landscapes. Every key you press reveals subtle imperfections, tonal shifts, and evolving textures, turning a simple sample into a deeply emotional and dynamic musical experience.
