Epicycles Chromaphone 3 Sound Bank is a 111-preset collection for Chromaphone 3 by Applied Acoustics Systems, created by sound designer Richard Devine. It is organized into nine categories, from soundscapes and basses to arps and effects.
Epicycles is a preset collection built for Chromaphone 3, the physical modeling instrument from Applied Acoustics Systems. Richard Devine returns to the instrument after his Microsound Textures compendium and assembles a set of new patches with an open, unsettled character. The bank covers sound design material and musical building blocks, so producers can work from ambient textures through to rhythmic percussion and arpeggios.
The 111 presets are divided into nine categories. Soundscapes account for 11 patches and textures, while Basses, Plucked Strings, Keys and Synths provide 9, 10, 10 and 9 sounds respectively. Strings and Pads make up 12 presets, and Percussions form the largest group with 27.
The collection also includes 12 Arps and 11 Effects, which can serve as starting points for rhythmic patterns or processed sound design layers.
Epicycles suits producers who already use Chromaphone 3 and want presets from a named sound designer rather than building patches from scratch. The wide spread of categories makes it useful for filling out a track with pads, percussion and arps from the same source.
Because the presets are described as unsettling and opaque, they lean toward experimental and atmospheric work rather than conventional sound libraries.
