Field recordings merge together in a sonic kaleidoscope of found sound cinematics – from underscoring pads to drones, pulses and textures.
Bioscape is a 4.5GB Kontakt instrument that is based on field recordings and found sounds to create musical content, this gives you an unpolished, raw and organic dimension to your production.
Bioscape is particularly suitable for game and filmscore composers, but works extremely well with ambient music, music concréte, sound healing, music therapy or as a standalone experimental instrument.
Bioscape contains hundreds of field recordings and found sounds from hydrophonic desert wind to abandoned factory drones, from ghostly ringing rocks to cracking icy rivers, all sorted in different sound categories. Using the sound material, a team of world renowned sound designers have crafted over 440 presets sorted in categories from pulses to pads, textures, ASMR, drones, playables, effects and reverse.
Within the DNA of Bioscape is a multifaceted instrument that on one side can sound as atonal and dark as you want and on the other side produce the most ethereal and light timbres.
Bioscape is made for and licensed to the free Kontakt Player so you do not need the full version of Kontakt to play Bioscape. It is fully NKS compatible and supports drag & drop, so you can use your own sounds and samples. It is installed directly in Native Access, just enter the serial number and click install.
Bioscape is also one of the most extensive sample manipulating engines ever created for the Kontakt platform. That’s just an extra bonus and we won’t really advertise it as being so… we are way too modest to do that.
If you prefer a presentation with sounds and visuals, then head directly to the 2-minute Bioscape teaser (click) on YouTube and save the full length (click) 30-minute Bioscape vid to later.
Bioscape has two different interface sizes: The standard size and a bigger size suitable for larger screens. There’s an option to change color from default blue to a complementary green.
Bioscape is designed in a dual mode layout, with four active layers. Each layer can load one of the many field recordings and found sounds, from one of the fifteen different categories or you can use your own with drag & drop. Each layer has its own dedicated amp envelope and filter settings, with 24 different filters per layer.
You can adjust start and end position of the sounds by dragging the small handles below the waveform display and choose from various playback modes from forward loop to reverse loop, forward stop, reverse stop and a ping-pong mode too.
Sound sources can be set to follow pitch with keytracking, they can run freely or retrigger at keypress and there’s velocity and keyfollow for both the amplitude and filter.
