Electric Himalaya RePercussion for Repro-1

75 dynamic percussion sounds for Repro-1 by Electric Himalaya

From deep analogue kicks and snappy snares to all manner of fantasy hits, RePercussion covers a wide spectrum of percussive instruments.

As an antidote to his other sound design duties, Electric Himalaya created this soundset soon after discovering how well suited Repro-1 is for classic analogue hits.
In his own words:

“Creating RePercussion was an almost cathartic endeavour. I thoroughly enjoyed making this collection of drums, percussive ‘plinks’ and ‘bongs’, and I hope you enjoy using them in your tracks!”

Greywind Windmill for ZEBRA2

Greywind Windmill for ZEBRA2

Windmill is a collection of 132 presets aimed at “uncharted” mid-high sonic arenas of ZebraHZ. Centered around the idea of “movement”, as you play you feel the flow of motions carry through. One of the main goals when designing the soundset is to provide a body of instruments that can be performed by themselves while not sounding too “synthy”.

Articulations are crafted to accommodate different styles of playing and genres of music. Created with different but homogeneous “sceneries” in mind, Windmill depicts the “natural” sonic landscape with artificial inventions, hence the name. It is the perfect candidate for ambient supporters, blending in with orchestral colors, or to be supported by orchestral instruments. Rich in character and depiction, the soundset is suited from natural landscape to sci-fi settings. Simply layer few patches from different categories to test out an emotion.

Resonate Sound Design Bios for HIVE2

Resonate Sound Design Bios for HIVE2

Resonate Sound Design Bios for HIVE2

Bios is a very versatile library. The majority of the presets are initially very chilled & understated, making them suitable for underscoring, ambient or downtempo work. Start to use the mapped controls (modwheel, breath, expression & aftertouch) and they can become very nasty in nature! This makes them perfect for genres such as cyberpunk, darkwave & trailer…maybe a load more electronic genres!

​Bios comes with 136 presets (with extra variations).

Melodic/bass/drums:

  • 10 arps
  • 17 basses
  • 2 hats
  • 2 hat sequences
  • 10 keys
  • 1 kick
  • 11 leads
  • 20 pads
  • 1 percussion
  • 12 plucks
  • 16 pulses
  • 6 sequences
  • 3 snares
  • 2 sub basses

FX:

  • 7 braams
  • 5 bass drops (each with 4 length variations)
  • 4 risers (each with 7 length variations)
  • 5 impacts
  • 1 strange

Bios also comes with 21 custom wavetables – these are required to be installed so that the presets function as expected.

The vast majority of the presets have the modwheel, breath & expression mapped. Quite a few also have aftertouch mapped. Using the controls gives a great amount of flexibility and variation in the presets.

I endeavoured to keep the maximum volume of each preset around -5dBFS true peak.

The presets were created in Hive 2 version 2.0.1 (revision 9709) so I cannot guarantee them working in an earlier version. You can get the most up to date version of Hive 2 from u-he’s website.

The Very Loud Indeed Co Spiegel + HZ for ZEBRA2

The Very Loud Indeed Co Spiegel + HZ for ZEBRA2

Zebra + HZ Spiegel is a collection of 240 cinematic patches: all 120 patches from our Zebra Spiegel soundset, plus modified versions of those patches for ZebraHZ, a version of Zebra2 customized for legendary composer Hans Zimmer, which he used on his scores for The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

Inspired by scores by Hildur Guðnadóttir (Sicario: Day of The Soldado), Jóhann Jóhannsson (Mandy), Tyler Bates (John Wick 2), and Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (Waves), Zebra Spiegel covers a diverse range of styles within the thriller, action, horror and drama realms of cinematic composition.

Many patches in Zebra + HZ Spiegel use multiple Zebra lanes, so you can mute the lanes you don’t need if a patch is too busy for your purposes, or if you just want to use the sound in a particular lane. Zebra + HZ Spiegel also makes extensive use of the modulation wheel. In many cases, it may completely change the patch into something totally different, so we encourage you to have fun with it.

Zebra + HZ Spiegel includes NKSF versions of all its patches, with the proper tags for NKS devices. They do not have audio previews, though.

u-he Metaphorium for HIVE2

Over two years in the making, Metaphorium for Hive 2 is now available! 220+ presets programmed in-house by Howard Scarr, Viktor Weimer (TUC) and Urs Heckmann himself.

This soundset contains a staggering variety of rhythms, chugging basses, melodic loops, atonal and tonal pads, dreamy soundscapes, dramatic and ambient effects. However, meticulous XY pad programming in Metaphorium makes many of the presets defy categorization: You can create radically different versions within seconds, bending presets beyond all recognition. Such flexibility makes them suitable for any genre of music and film.

Speaking of which: We are very pleased with how well the sounds work in The Matrix Resurrections score! We are already looking forward to hearing how other film composers and music producers use Metaphorium.
