This is a beast. We used it on our last two scores in place of Ashlight and chained it up in Kontakt with some other textures and Hg20

Buying this for sure! Thank you so much!

[@AlessandroMastroianni]

Thank you so much!

[@reyals66]

This is brilliant! Please look at creating more such horror instruments.

Is it possible to assign XY Pad to midi controllers?

[@MattStevens9824]

Wow! This is a nice alternative to NI's Thrill and Mysteria! is it possible to add our own samples in the engine?

[@AlessandroMastroianni]

Not by design but if you’re familiar with Kontakt the instrument is open so you can potentially load your own samples in

[@MattStevens9824]

​@@AlessandroMastroianni Thank you, Allesandro! Any chance it could be added in a future update? Even if I could dive into the full kontakt, I don't think I'll be able to utilize the engine's X/Y pad. I feel like since this has atonal sounds and more of a sound design/effects vibe, it would totally be in character for the tool to have an option to drag user samples to go along with the excellent sounds and presets you have.

[@AlessandroMastroianni]

It could definitely be added in an update, let me think about it.
And you would be able to use the XY pad if you dived into the engine, I should make a video maybe

The website says it requires the full version of Kontakt?

[@AlessandroMastroianni]

Sorry about that, we’re fixing it :) it doesn’t, it works with free Kontakt Player

[@davidmcpoland5286]

Hey Alessandro, great looking library! Is it possible to change the tune of the drones, hits etc (NOT using kontakts global tune control)? Can the drones or hits be played chromatically, spread across the keys?

[@SonoraCinematic]

Hi David, it isn’t. While I understand why you’d want to do that, the idea is that most sounds are atonal so it wouldn’t make too much sense. You can do it accessing the region and going under the hood in Kontakt though!

[@davidmcpoland5286]

@@SonoraCinematic Ah, a bit disappointing because some of those drones definitely feel like they have a tonal root, but thanks for confirming. I'll look into getting under the hood :)

Nice saz
