It was about time for expanding this collection of granular drone sounds:
For the first version of this library, I used 14 drone samples from my SoundPack Droneland and also made 9 new samples derived from electronic sources and field recordings. In 2017 this library was updated/extended to 42 presets, adding another 29 wav samples and 22 presets.
Many of these sounds are huge and deep tonal drones with a cinematic touch, but you‘ll also find some more experimental textures, atonal timbres and haunting tones. All patches have the modulation wheel assigned, many also use aftertouch or velocity as modulation source.
There are now 42 presets using 52 samples - 1.37 GB of audio samples (wav) produced in 48 Khz/24 Bit stereo. As the samples are not encrypted, they can be used in other sample players, granular synthesizers or directly in your DAW.
License holders of the first version of Droneland can update their license for € 8 EUR.
Specs:
- *42 Presets
*1.37 GB of samples (wav/stereo/48 Khz/24 Bit)
*Delivery: Download (RAR-archive in 2 parts for better download handling)
*Library size in total: 1.37 GB (961.3 MB download)
You can view/download the PDF for Droneland with more details, the licence agreement and the patch list including playing tips and short descriptions for the controller assignments in each patch here.
All demos were produced entirely with patches from Droneland 2 using only Padshop Pro. No post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the master output.
