Atmos
Atmos is a synthesizer which can be used to easily create realistic nature sounds in
no time. From thunder and lightning to animal sounds and traffic noise, Atmos helps
you design natural-sounding atmospheric noises for your projects.
• In the upper border window, select the top category "Scenario". You can select a
desired nature sounds category (for example, "Thunder and Lightning").
• In the middle of the window, a collection of control elements appears for
designing the desired "Ambience". Each element has its own description (e.g.
"Thunder") and two faders, i.e. "Volume" and "Intensity". The "volume" control
adjusts the loudness portion of the element. The "Intensity" fader controls the
behavior of the sound, depending on controller element. For example, with
"Thunder", you can set how often thunder and lightning should sound; with
"Rain", the strength of the rain can be regulated (if moved to the far left, light rain
can be heard, while if moved to the far right, a downpour with loud splashing
noises is audible).
• At the bottom right border you will find a master volume fader with which the
master volume of the synthesizer can be set. Furthermore, the "Randomize"
setting is also located here. This way you can change the settings of the control
elements by yourself.
BeatBox 2 plus
BeatBox 2 is a 16-voice drum computer with hybrid sound synthesis and a step
sequencer. The proven handling concepts of the "old" BeatBox like matrix
programming with auto copy have been expanded with comfortable editing of
velocities and significantly improved sound synthesis, including a multi-effects
section (one effect per drum instrument).
