PALETTES: Suspense

Tension, anticipation & foreboding dread

Suspense is a thoughtfully crafted cinematic sound library featuring 400 evolving textures, unnerving drones, and atmospheric elements built to underscore scenes with tension, unease, and emotional depth. Designed for composers, sound designers, and editors working in film, TV, and games, this collection is ideal for moments that call for a subtle sense of dread or a slow-burning dramatic arc.

Running in Kontakt, the library features 14 instruments with a custom interface that makes sound shaping straightforward and responsive. Users can quickly dial in mood and character using six filter types, dual LFOs, sample start manipulation, panning, and tuning controls.

The sound content itself blends detuned strings, subterranean rumbles, distorted organic textures, and processed field recordings, all curated to support psychological storytelling. These sounds work well in isolation or stacked into richer, more layered compositions thanks to the intuitive interface and flexible performance options.

Suspense also includes a fully featured effects rack, complete with convolution reverb, delay, modulation effects, compression, EQ, and distortion, allowing further control over the space, movement, and tone of each sound.

Features:

• Over 3.4 GB of 400 24bit 48 kHz samples in both Wav and AIFF Formats

• 14 Kontakt Instruments with a custom GUI

• 6 filter types, 2 LFOs, sample start point, pan and tune functions.

• Fully equipped FX Rack including Convolution Reverb, Delay, Chorus Flanger, Phaser, Compression, Distortion, EQ and Filter effects.

Expanded Size: 7.2 GB
