Applied Acoustics Transmutation - Sound Pack for Chromaphone

AAS newcomer Michel Basque presents Transmutation—a 101-preset sound collection for the award-winning Chromaphone 3. Basque treats sounds as instruments, and pays close attention to detail, playability, and balance. The acoustic instruments of Chromaphone 3 are imbued with fresh creative twists: crystalline mallets and bells, futuristic neo-classical keys, exotic and hybrid acoustic strings, filmic guitars, and gritty mutant pads. With oblique references to various times and places—exotic, traditional, electronic—this collection balances real and surreal textures with a lively quality that captures the acoustic-electronic essence of Chromaphone 3. While ideal for cinematic climaxes or otherworldly soundscapes, more conventional creations will benefit from this organic boost of intensity and emotion. Transmutation sonically reflects a world in the throes of profound changes—a rapidly mutating ecosystem transforming us all.
