Description
Subfrost is a simple twist on a classic sound: the Appalachian mountain dulcimer combined with ultra-high sample rate recordings pitched to extreme depths creating gorgeous cinematic textures and plucks.

Sampled at 192k and recorded at 32bit with high-fidelity measurement microphones, Subfrost brings the Appalachian dulcimer to new depths by creating morphed and twisted versions of the source material. Designed to create cinematic underbeds or add a creative twist to your project, this library is as much a layering tool as it is a standalone scoring companion when you need something just a bit different.
Demo:
What’s Inside:

I personally lean more Lynch than EDM, and this is probably the Venus Theory library that aligns closest to my subjective tastes: moody, multi-layered, evolving pads with a lot of control around where those sounds are spacially.
Some of the UI is intuitive, but there are aspects that, like other VT plugins, I wish had text labels. ADSR is obvious enough, but the rest can still require some re-discovery if I’ve left the realm of VT plugins for a bit.

I love the sounds that come out of this thing. Super inspiring.

I recently added that library to my ambient arsenal and it’s a very inspiring tool. It works both as a leading voice or as background, depending on the patch. All the 33 patches are powerful and misterious sounds, that take a lot of space on the composition, from deep drones to cutting plucks. I love the sounds that have layers at different pitches. Sounds with lots of personallity that create their own mood, so surprising that sometimes they look that deliver their own music rather than fitting on my plans.

I’ll add that the Venus Theory collection of instruments is of an extremely high standard. I’ve been experimenting with blending them into orchestral instrument groups, and I’ve enjoying chewing up huge chunks of time as a result!
