"But deep inside the atom, hidden far beneath the outer electron cloud, is the nucleus composed chiefly of protons and neutrons. Atoms are very small. A hundred million of them, end to end, would be about so big and the nucleus is a hundred thousand times smaller still. Nevertheless, most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus. The electrons are by comparison just bits of moving fluff. Atoms are mainly empty space. Matter is composed chiefly of nothing. When we consider cutting this apple pie, but down beyond a single atom, we confront an infinity of the very small. And when we look up at the night sky, we confront an infinity of the very large. These infinities are among the most awesome of human ideas. They represent an unending regress which goes on, not just very far, but forever."
Carl Sagan

Hybrdi Cinematic Sound Design
https://www.sonokinetic.net/products/instruments/ibrido-zero/
Sonokinetic introduces "Ibrido Favola", the second full release in the Sonokinetic Ibrido Sound Design product line. Ibrido Favola is a hybrid sound design tool, built from custom organic sound foley and samples from the Sonokinetic vault, and blended with state of the art signal generators and processors.
Ibrido Favola hosts four main categories: Ambiences, Shorts, Thematics & Pads. The material ranges from metallic transitions and simmering sizzles to long evolving ambiences and fairytale thematics. These provide a colorful background palette on which to build your cues and tracks. Although the sounds here are particularly tailored for fantastical enchantments and magical moments, Ibrido Favola is very versatile and will feel at home within many genres of film scoring.
This instrument will infuse your composing palette with a vast collection of innovative hand-crafted samples, produced by Mexican sound designer Juan Pablo Naranjo. In close collaboration with Juan Pablo, we created a unique and inspiring composing tool, adding advanced NKS functionality to make it work seamlessly with the Komplete Kontrol software and Native Instruments hardware controllers.
With a novel approach to handling and manipulating samples in our distinctive user interface, we aim to provide any musician or sound designer with maximum control over their sound, all while preserving the Sonokinetic user experience and workflow. Have a listen to the audio demos and check out our video tutorials to get a glimpse of the power behind this sound design treasure.

We, at Sonokinetic BV, introduce Ibrido Favola to you with pride and would like to invite you to jump in. We can’t wait to hear the amazing things you, our valued customer base, will produce with it. 

Sonokinetic has established a name as one of the best value & quality sample producers and with this product we’d like to underline that statement. We stick with our unbeatable pricing module and high quality sampling.
