01Overview

KLANG built the FREEZE collection around freezing reverb tails and stretching sound sources almost indefinitely. Dusted Home belongs to that collection and is aimed at producers who want atmospheric pads, ambiences or rhythmic textures. The developer describes the sound as dystopian, with a lot of movement, and says the instrument grew out of an experiment with a modular system in which a filter shaped the self-oscillation of a delay.

Sound Character and Layers

Dusted Home is built around a balance control that sets the mix between its two layers. This lets you move from one layer's character toward the other without loading a different patch.

KLANG says the core sound came from manipulating the self-oscillation of a delay with a filter. The result is a pad with a restless, shifting quality that suits darker and more abstract arrangements.

The instrument was created with various unique effects and modular systems, which gives it a sound that is more textural than a standard synth pad.

Controls and Effects

The main controls are a balance knob for the two layers, a tremolo amount knob and a tone knob. These cover the basic shape of the sound and its pulsing movement.

Further shaping is available through phaser, Lo-Fi, delay and reverb controls. Together they let you push the pad toward a washed-out, degraded texture or keep it clean and spacious.

Because the instrument runs in Kontakt, it fits into a standard Kontakt workflow for scoring, sound design and layering.
