03In depth

Acoustic Sound Sources With Electronic Texture

The expansion includes 15 sound sources based on earthy, wooden acoustic instruments. Guitars, vihuelas and kalimbas are the core of the collection, each recorded with a range of experimental articulations, strikes and plucks.

The acoustic recordings were captured with multiple dynamic layers. Minimal synthesizer textures are layered on top, so the sounds can shift between natural and electronic character within a single patch.

This mix suits producers who want plucked tones that feel tactile without sounding like straightforward samples.

Presets Built on Benn Jordan's Sound Design

Canopies includes 50 presets that reflect the sonic palette and aesthetic of Benn Jordan. The developer describes the sound design as using cutting-edge techniques to balance organic and electronic qualities.

Because the presets are built on the 15 sound sources, they cover a range of plucked, struck and textured sounds. The collection is designed as a starting point for productions that combine hybrid textures with acoustic roots.

The presets require CUBE or CUBE Mini to run, so they work within that instrument's workflow.
