Time Textures: Orchestral Texture Engine for Kontakt by Sonuscore

Sonuscore says the engine uses advanced algorithmic techniques to add depth and movement to orchestral instruments. Sound particles are emitted from the source samples and arranged into a continuously shifting wall of sound. The developer describes the result as textures that evolve without the repetition of a looped sample.

The engine's parameters are designed to be adjustable at any time. You can change how fast particles play back, how many octaves are emitted, and how they are distributed across the stereo field, which gives a wide range of results from muted to dense and bright.

The central control is the mod wheel. You decide which parameters are linked to it, so one gesture can move the sonic progression of a texture. A dynamic slider brings out different qualities of the sound based on how a note is played, from intimate to powerful.

Time Textures also includes a set of per-part controls, such as attack volume, seed, note select, gain and pan for each emitter. A movement control adds particles from special articulations to morph between sounds. Together these give you a modulation system that stays simple to operate while producing complex results.

The instrument includes over 200 presets split between naturalistic ensemble textures and cinematic presets with a wide effects chain.
