Sound Sources and Shaping Tools

MilkShake's sound comes from its three source sets. Milk and Sugar samples were recorded from everyday kitchen items, and the Juice samples were taken from a patch built on a Waldorf microQ.

Each ingredient can be filtered with a 4-pole LowPass filter and shaped with an ADR envelope. The instrument also includes Bitcrusher, Rotary, Phaser, Reverb, Delay and EQ effects, so you can move from clean tones to rougher, more textural sounds without leaving the instrument.

Use Cases and Who It Suits

According to AudioThing, MilkShake works well for pads, tuned synth percussion, textures, evolving effects and noises. Its mix of sampled sources and built-in effects makes it a fit for producers looking for unusual source material rather than conventional synth patches.

The library includes 93 samples at 44.1 kHz / 24-bit, totaling 85 MB, and is delivered in Kontakt and WAV formats.
