Sci-Fi Nightmare Horror Dream - A PolyBrute Patch Bank Sound Demo - No Talking

Sci-Fi Nightmare Horror Dream - A PolyBrute Patch Bank Sound Demo - No Talking

You can buy this bank as well as my other presets on my Gumroad page by visiting the following link: https://synthtaxi.gumroad.com/l/SciFiHorrorNightmareDream This bank of 37 presets takes a deep dive into sounds that evoke feelings like wonder, relaxation, awe, nostalgia, fear, aggression, suspense, and many others. I researched movie and tv soundtracks from the 70s to present day, found the ones that I liked, and used them to influence the sound design process of these patches. Though, none of these are recreations of those sounds. These are imaginings that bring similar images and emotions to the listener. I've added AI generated art with each sound demo to show you what these sounds made me think of at the time. Keep in mind, each preset is capable of more than what I've demonstrated. The PolyBrute is an extremely expressive synth with tons of dynamic control of timbre. I've done my best to provide a short experience of each sound to give you an idea of what it can do. But you really have to play them to hear and feel the whole experience. Each preset has been carefully crafted to be immersive and to use the full control capabilities of the PolyBrute (A/B morph for all presets, assigned use of the Morphee, touch strip, and aftertouch). You will hear some retro influences in some of these presets, some lofi sounds, some modern sounds, but all patches are dynamic and expressive thanks to the PolyBrute's matrix, control, and effects routing. Cinematic is definitely a common thread with these sounds. Picture how you feel when you watch a sci-fi movie scene where an epic camera angle is accompanied by a lush synth arpeggio that changes timbre over time. Or the creepy edge-of-your-seat feeling in a thriller/horror when the lofi piano music cues and you know something's gonna get weird. Or what about a retro fantasy movie from the 80s/90s that has a dreamy synth pad playing during an epic scene? That's what I've tried to make with this bank of presets. It's my hope that you love to play these sounds as much as I love making and playing them myself. Keep making music! This bank is made for the PolyBrute 6 voice hardware but it will also work on the PolyBrute 12.

Yamaha CS80 Presets on the Arturia PolyBrute - No Talking

Purchase this preset bank on my Gumroad page here: https://synthtaxi.gumroad.com/l/cs80onthepolybrute If you like patches that sound epic, cinematic, sci-fi, horror, thriller, beautiful, lush, nostalgic, etc. this bank is for you. Countless hours were spent creating the 66 patches that are included. This preset bank is different from the others that I've uploaded. The original CS80 presets that are included are just the beginning. I've spent the last few months creating patches that are built using those original CS80 preset sounds as well. So you get the original dry sounds of the CS80 Tone Selector buttons, plus many new creations based on the CS80 tone that make full use of the PolyBrute's modulation and expression capabilities. All 22 of the Yamaha CS80's factory presets are here (aka the "Tone Selector" buttons). For many of the CS80 preset patches, I've sourced two different recordings of the CS80 and created alternate versions. The original CS80 preset recreation is stored in Morph A for each of these patches and is a dry sound (no effects). The Morph B for each of these patches is a new creation using the original Morph A's CS80 timbre as a starting point. The Morph B uses the full functionality of the PolyBrutes expressive controls. In most of my demonstration video, I am using aftertouch and the z-axis of the Morphee (via the expression pedal) to control some of the modulations that have been assigned. In many cases, I have only demonstrated part of each patch's expressiveness (mostly in the interest of time and my sanity in completing this project). 13 famous CS80 patches (according to my hasty research on the interwebs) were also recreated by listening, tweaking, listening again, starting over, repeating the process until satisfied. Some of these patches are layered, some are split, some are single layer. Whenever single layers were used, I've provided an alternate version of the patch in Morph A and Morph B. Many new creations in this bank were made using layering of the CS80 factory presets as a base timbre. I spent a lot of time experimenting with combining the various CS80 presets to see what kind of interesting sounds I could get. I chose my favourite combinations and went to town turning them into lush, interesting, dynamic, and expressive patches. Using the PolyBrute's Morph button on the preset grid, you can take the Morph A of any of the CS80 presets and combine it with another preset's Morph A - just like pressing two of the tone-selector buttons on a real CS80! You are, of course, limited to only three notes of polyphony with layered patches like this, but I can't tell you how easy and fun it is to get carried away feeling like you are actually using a CS80 and discovering very useable and beautiful sounds.

Juno-106 Factory Patches on the PolyBrute - Bank A - Free/Pay What You Want

Free/Pay What you want. All 64 patches from Bank A of the Roland Juno-106 recreated on the Arturia PolyBrute. Use them as starting points for new sounds. Try loading two of the patches into a Morph A/Morph B slot on the PolyBrute and see what you get when two retro sounds have a baby. Care was taken to keep the sounds as close to the Juno-106 as possible. Chorus was used only on factory patches that used chorus on the Juno-106. What you hear in this demo is just each patch with some minor post-production compression to level out the volume. Here are some links to Juno-106 sounds so you can compare them to this video. Big thanks to these folks because their videos and resources helped me make these patches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPu3Gyou_gQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS2RaG_q4es https://www.synthmania.com/juno-106.htm Hope you enjoy them.
