FREEZE: Dusted Home is an instrument plugin for Ableton Live from KLANG, designed to create pads and ambient sounds with movement, built from frozen reverb tails and stretched sound sources. It requires Ableton Live 10 Suite or above.
FREEZE: Dusted Home belongs to KLANG's FREEZE collection, which focuses on shaping new sounds by freezing reverb tails and stretching sound sources. The instrument is built around two layers that can be balanced against each other, with a tremolo and tone control to shape movement and color. Phaser, Lo-Fi, delay and reverb controls allow further shaping. It is listed in the Virtual Instruments subcategory of the Instruments category.
KLANG developed the instrument from an experiment in a modular system, where the self-oscillation of a delay was manipulated with a filter. The developer says the result is a dystopian-sounding pad with a lot of movement.
The FREEZE collection as a whole is aimed at hauntingly beautiful pads, ambiences and more abstract rhythmic sounds. Dusted Home fits that direction, with sound built from layered, frozen textures.
The main controls are a balance knob that sets the mix between the two layers, a tremolo amount knob, and a tone knob. These give direct control over the blend of layers, the pulsing movement and the tonal balance.
For additional shaping, the phaser, Lo-Fi, delay and reverb controls can be used to change the texture and space of the sound.
