Sonespheres - Limitless gathers the Distance, Origins, Current and Direction series into one Kontakt instrument. Soundiron developed it with film and TV composer Blake Ewing, who built the sounds around atmospheric synths, textural pads, evolving soundscapes and drones. The library includes over 200 factory presets, 1,610 stereo 24-bit WAV samples and a full FX rack with convolution reverb, giving producers a broad starting point for ambient and cinematic music.

Sound Design and the XY Morphing Engine

The instrument is built around four separate layers and an assignable XY pad. Each layer has its own sound-shaping options, including attack, release, offset, pitch and pan. Every layer also has its own arpeggiator and filter, with 39 built-in filter types to choose from.

The XY pad defaults to volume control between the four layers, but each axis can be reassigned to filters or a selection of FX. Tempo-syncable rhythmic motion can be added to the pad, and you can limit the X and Y range to create new patterns and tonal shifts.

The Random button generates new combinations of sound, parameter and modulation settings, and the macro knobs on either side of the pad can be assigned to layer controls or FX rack plugins.

Workflow, Presets and Custom Samples

The integrated ARP system offers rhythm, direction, swing and randomization controls for arpeggio, glide and strum patterns. A legato mode turns the instrument into a monophonic legato or portamento instrument with adjustable pitch bend speed.

You can import your own WAV files into the engine and mix them with the built-in categories and 24 wavetables. Custom presets can be saved, shared and exported, and the preset browser holds the over 200 factory patches.

The FX rack includes convolution reverb with more than 100 custom real-world and special FX spaces.
