"When The Unit burst into the room they were greeted with flickering lights- in patterns only understood by its creator. Hard-drives lay scattered along the floor. Surrounded by cables was a screen; the Hacker had left them a message. Within a pixelated smiley face was a single word: Enigma." 

Delve deep into a world of intrigue, where neon cuts through darkened streets, wi-fi is your best friend, and one and zero's may very well decide your fate. Enigma is a 400 patches strong library that effortlessly weaves a path through your next globe-hopping political drama, clandestine suspense thriller or cyberpunk dystopia. Definitively modern, Enigma eschews the normal conventions of under-scoring for something truly unique and electronic. 

Pulsing arps will propel you through a web of shadowy pads, while gripping electro-percussion and dark hits keep tabs on the time. Muscular bass will under-pin your compositions, while defiant synths and tense keys sizzle with inexplicable electricity. Exhilarating transition effects peal back the layers to reveal brooding darkweb soundscapes. Combined, these elements weave a digital tail unhindered by normal conventions. 


Enigma pays homage to the works of Mac Quayle (Mr. Robot, Ratchet), Cliff Martinez (Neon Demon, Only God Forgives), Marc Canham (I care a lot) and artists in the vein of Robot Koch and Oneohtrix Point Never.


Hard-coded into every patch are modwheel and velocity assignments for fuller expression - and when applicable, aftertouch. Each patch leaves a few decibels of headroom. Included is a PDF installation guide for ease of use. 

Unplug from the usual, and plug into a world saturated in source code and fiber-optic light. Just make sure to wipe your hard-drives afterward :)

Gemina II – Omnisphere Soundbank
Price: $ 79.00

Available at https://www.luftrum.com/

In a world where silence reigns, where the echoes of civilization linger like ghosts, emerges a collection of Omnipshere 2 presets that plunges you into the heart of a postapocalyptic and dystopian reality.

Presenting Gemina II, the highly anticipated sequel to the Omnisphere bestseller Gemina, which received a remarkable 9.2/10 review in Future Music Magazine.

This sequel delivers 400 brand new Omnisphere presets that captures the essence of a broken tomorrow and expand your arsenal of cinematic, postapocalyptic and dystopian sounds.

Dark corroded sequences, warped basses, and decayed rhythmic pulses form the backbone of this expansive soundset. Atmospheric pads that swell like the last rays of sunlight piercing through nuclear clouds. Irradiated soundscapes and textures are harsh, raw and unapologetically real, while gritty keys resonate with the melancholy of forgotten dreams. 

It’s a narrative told through the eerie beauty of empty skyscrapers and the relentless pulse of a world that refuses to die. Navigate through salvaged polysynths and evocative hybrid instruments, gripping FX, hits and transitions, Gemina II sparks inspiration amidst the ruins, adding depth and intensity to your compositions.

This Omnisphere soundbank is perfectly suited for producers, film and game composers alike.

Gemina II is inspired by artists like Atticus Ross (Book of Eli), Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow (Annihilation, Ex Machina), Gustavo Santaolalla (The Last of Us), and Mark Morgan (Wasteland 2), while drawing inspiration from modern visionaries such as zYnthetic (Soundtrack for the Apocalypse), Inon Zur (Fallout 4), Michael Hodges & Gerald Trottman (Blade Runner Black Lotus) and John Powell & David Buckley (Jason Bourne).

Embrace the chaos, find beauty in the broken, and let the sounds lead you through the ruins of a world waiting to be reborn. 

Gemina II requires Omnisphere 2.8 or later. All presets has a few dB headroom and include assignments for modwheel and velocity. The presets are organized in official Spectrasonics native categories.

TAL-Pha Silica
Release date 11/22/24
Available at https://www.luftrum.com/silica-soundset-for-tal-pha/

-------------------
We are excited to introduce Silica, a soundset for TAL-Pha, featuring 150 carefully sculpted patches inspired by the retro-futuristic sounds of the mid-80s, combined with a modern, cinematic twist.

So, what is TAL-Pha you may ask? It’s a faithful emulation of the Roland Alpha Juno II, an iconic analog synth released in 1985, with the MKS-50 as its rack version. The synth was used by artists like Orbital, Vince Clarke, Faithless, Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Howard Jones and many more.

TAL-Pha offers the classic analog sound of the hardware, but is further enhanced with modern flexibility and many additional features (it even reads sysex from the hardware).

In Silica, you will find everything from animated synth arpeggios to fat bass lines and basses, supported by lush pads and a wide selection of vibrant poly synths and keyboard sounds, that evoke the sounds of the mid-80s. There’s also a selection of hybrid drum loops, soundscapes and sound effects. The result is a versatile collection designed to be instantly usable, with no fillers, just authentic, character-rich synth goodness, that works equally well for retro-inspired productions or cutting-edge modern media.

Influences include classic artists of yesteryear, such as Vince Clarke, OMD, Howard Jones, Fluke, FSOL, and The Prodigy, with strong ties to today’s modern composers such as Mac Quayle (Mr. Robot), Cliff Martinez (Neon Demon), and Lorne Balfe (Ghost in the Shell).

We have teamed up with TAL to bring you 10% discount on TAL-Pha. With your Silica purchase, you will receive a code that can be used to get 10% off TAL-Pha, but the code isn’t limited to TAL-Pha, you can also use it to save on other TAL products.

November 22: TAL Software is having a Black Friday sale with 20% off their products. This discount stacks with the 10% that comes with Silica, so you can get a total of 30% off by using the code included with Silica – but only for a very limited time!
