Sound Character and Content

The library contains 10 electronic drum sets and 10 ambient synth pads and drones, which Soundiron groups under the name "Bytebiences." The sounds draw on digital synthesis, FX chains and bleep-bloop textures, so the percussion leans toward robotic and electro styles while the drones suit atmospheric backgrounds.

The package includes 21 Kontakt .nki instrument presets and 210 stereo samples in 24-bit / 48 kHz uncompressed PCM WAV format. Because the samples are standard WAV files, they can also be loaded in any WAV-compatible environment.

Controls, Workflow and Effects

The Kontakt interface offers multi-layer controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering. An LFO system lets you choose the shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo sync and fade-in time.

The customizable arpeggiator provides a velocity table and control over direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration, and a key and scale lock keeps melodies within common scales. A modular FX rack offers 27 DSP modules across 8 slots, and the convolution reverb includes 99 room, hall, chamber and outdoor impulse responses plus 40 custom FX impulses.
