Cinesamples Soundscapes
Rating 4/5 Stars
If there are an infinite number of points in any line, then a Granular synthesis product is theoretically limitless. While Cinesample’s new Soundscapes virtual instrument may not have an eternal bevy of options, it is an intriguing and highly musical departure from the company’s normal fare. Visually the product is also a departure as well, gravitating towards the ‘something cool some guy in Kamchatka put together’ aesthetic as opposed to Cinesample’s typically slick Hollywood‑esque interfaces. The 1.5GB library requires the free or paid versions of Kontakt, with system load dependent on the processing options selected in any given patch.
