Sound Content and Character

The pack is organized around atmospheres and drones, which make up the largest group with 63 patches. These are followed by 40 pads, 25 leads and 103 FX, giving you sustained beds for film and game scores, tension layers and one-shot accents for transitions.

Loopmasters says the library blends organic sounds with synthesis, and the Combinator instruments add processing such as compressors, reverbs, gates, delays, flangers and chorus. The developer describes the result as limitless combinations of sounds, which in practice means each patch can be tweaked well beyond its starting point.

The pack also includes 15 real-world sounds, 3 Kong kits and 62 bonus sounds to round out the collection.

Who Dark Scapes Is For

Dark Scapes is aimed at producers who score TV and film in horror, drama and sci-fi styles. It also suits musicians who want to add dark influences or moody sound bites to their scores.

In electronic music, the sounds are pitched at producers making drum and bass and dubstep, where dark atmospheres and FX can add tension between drops. The pack is designed for Reason, so it fits producers already working inside that environment.
