01Overview

Aetheric is built for producers who need atmosphere quickly. Each of its 10 patches is split into three oscillators with individual controls, so you can shape the balance of layers within a single instrument. A dedicated ambient oscillator adds real recordings of rain, street noise and tape hiss, giving pads a textured, lived-in quality. Attack and Release settings let the same patches move from short, polyphonic synth-style notes to long, swelling pads.

Sound Design and Shaping Pads

Each patch offers three oscillators, each with its own volume control, so you can blend the layers to suit a track. The ambient oscillator draws on real recordings of rain, street noise and assorted tape hiss, which can add texture beneath tonal material.

The built-in Reverb, Delay, Filter, Morph and Stutter controls give you further options for movement and character. Morph and Stutter are useful for changing a pad's shape over time, while Attack and Release determine how quickly a sound begins and fades.

Playing Range and Expression

Aetheric spans three octaves, and its pitch-bend and automatable interface let you add expression within a performance or through host automation. The included snapshot presets give you a starting point for exploring the instrument's range of sounds.

Because the instrument runs inside Kontakt, it fits into a standard Kontakt-based production setup.
