Motor Synth [Patreon Exclusive] by Decent Samples [Decent Sampler]

Description

Overview

A while back, I made a video about some electro-mechanical experiments I had been doing. Specifically, I took an electric motor, attached a piece of metal wire to it, and then used a guitar pickup to record the sound of the metal as it spun around and around. Astute viewers pointed out that I had basically reinvented the tone wheel organ. Be that as it may, the resulting sounds ranged from warm and pleasant waveforms to otherworldly drones. Venus Theory and I ended up turning the sounds into a commercial sample library, which we called Motor Lab

Anyway, unbeknownst to me, Gamechanger Audio had already been exploring this very same terrain with their fantastic Motor Synth, an instrument which uses highly-precise drone motors to generate audio. When they saw my video about Motor Lab, they immediately reached out and very generously offered me a chance to try out their Motor Synth for myself. Well, I’ve now had a chance to play with it, and I’m very impressed. I’m definitely going to be making a video about this amazing and very unique machine. I also immediately knew I had to capture the unique sounds of its motor-based oscillators and share them with you all. The result is this library:

Features

• 16 carefully designed presets capturing the full sonic spectrum of the Motor Synth
• Exclusive 17th preset featuring a custom subtractive synthesis engine for creating your own motor-based sounds
• Compatible with the free DecentSampler plugin
• Deep modulation options for shaping and morphing sounds
• Multiple round robin variations for enhanced realism and variety
• Lovingly sampled from an original Motor Synth unit

Technical Details

• 24-bit/44.1kHz high-quality samples
• Round robin sampling for natural variation

This sample library is available exclusively to our Patreon supporters. By becoming a patron, you’ll not only get access to this unique collection but also support future sound design projects and receive early access to upcoming releases.
