ORIGIN STORY Quartz in Motion – A Sonic Vessel for Infinite Evolution. Time Crystals is born from the resonance of quartz singing bowls, instruments that have carried their luminous tones through centuries of meditation and sonic healing. We sought to capture this timeless energy — not as something frozen in time, but as something in perpetual motion. With our Non-Static Sampling™ and Infinite Motion Engine™ 2.0, these crystalline vibrations expand, contract, and evolve — never repeating, always unfolding. Each sound blooms and transforms, like ripples through water, carrying harmonic overtones that shimmer with depth and life. More than a sample library, Time Crystals is a dynamic ecosystem of pulses, drones, pads, and keys, designed for composers, sound designers, and ambient explorers seeking textures that breathe and morph in response to your creativity. Whether scoring vast cinematic landscapes or sculpting introspective sonic worlds, Time Crystals moves with you—never still, always becoming. Step into an evolving soundscape where past, present, and future dissolve into pure vibration. This is sound untethered, forever in motion.
Broken Worlds is a library that is all about broken, dystopian, “ugly” and distorted sounds. The soundsources are created from recordings from various synths and string and wind instruments that have been put through a chain of effects to create a serie of raw and haunting soundsources.
Piano macro lets you blend and independently pan two simultaneous signals: “contact” controls the contact microphone’s signal, while “distance” lets you balance this with a more rounded and traditional dynamic mic. run this through some easy-access effects processing, and that’s it!
no menu-diving; no analysis paralysis; all inspiration.
We span the arc between memories of a completely analog era and retro-futuristic visions of neon-lit dreamscapes. A journey through time into the world of nostalgic synthesizer vibes. Warm, humming synth giants with the charm of dust and hum, immersed in the depths of vintage tape echoes and spring reverbs. The time stands still, and a deep longing takes hold of you when listening to Novu. Novu is a lovingly curated collection of specially crafted synthesizer sounds. We painstakingly ran our old synthesizers through an entire armada of vintage effect units and tape machines – reel-to-reel recorders, lo-fi delays, and unconventional filters – all carefully selected to create an unstable character and dark warmth. At the heart of it are iconic synthesizers like the Prophet-5, Juno-60, and Jupiter, along with some hidden gems that each bring their own timeless charm. The result? A truly unique and expressive instrument, rich in vintage textures and full of soulful happy accidents. This is nostalgia, reimagined.
Degradation engine introduces the vibrant heart of an analogue synth to the fractured forgetfulness of microcassette – and opens up a deep world in between. Degradation engine works very similarly to a regular subtractive synth – you get your filter, an ADSR, a mixer, and some handy effects. what sets it apart is its two oscillators, which each have two knobs controlling “loss”. These knobs fade between the oscillator’s raw signal and a degraded version sampled through a microcassette tape – so, with each oscillator, you can choose any point between a raw analogue waveform and total tape fragility. not only this, but each oscillator has two types of degradation, with the samples recorded both at full-speed and half-speed. full-speed has a more brittle sound whereas half-speed is warmer and rounder – and again, you can go anywhere between these two extremes and bearing in mind that there are two waveforms per oscillator, it gets very deep very quickly…
