Sound Aesthetics Sampling
First Release from the Metamorpha Series: Allmosphere by Sound Aesthetics Sampling
Metamorpha is a series of focused sample libraries. The libraries are produced from original recordings of a bigger library, which are then turned into something totally new and different or with absolutely unique content like a sampled Mini Harp, Glockenspiel, Zither. The principal purpose of Metamorpha is pure: Let the instruments encourage you.
Sound Aesthetics Sampling
Sound Aesthetics Sampling is behind this new series of instruments. The boutique company is a focused team of sound designers and composers, bringing you inspirational and easy to use virtual instruments and sounds for NI Kontakt. All sample libraries Sound Aesthetics Sampling is producing tend into a “cinematic” direction from really lush and wide pads to thundering percussion ensembles or expressive solo instruments as well as a lot of sound designed elements.
Metamorpha
Metamorpha was born from Sound Aesthetics Sampling upcoming library Broken Bells which will also be released very soon in collaboration with Erick McNerney. The original recordings were bell sounds, either bowed or simple hits. Sound Aesthetics Sampling warped the sounds, manipulated them heavily to create totally unique and helpful atmospheric instruments from that.
Listen to the first demo Sound Aesthetics Sampling wrote and you can see how you can use the Presets and the raw sounds to create full tracks only by taking advantage of the lib. Only some further Sounddesign inside my DAW has been done.

Metamorpha – Allmosphere by Sound Aesthetics Sampling
Metamorpha:Allmosphere
Metamorpha:Allmosphere is based on Sound Aesthetics Sampling recent library Broken Bells, which has been produced in collaboration with Erick McNerney, who is best known for his work with Beautiful Void Audio, Halflightsampling and Audio Reward. Paul took the original Bell and Bowed recordings Erick made and created a vast array of totally different sounds. From beautifully resonating Glass Pads over Soaring Sustains to even Synthesized String and Brass Ensembles and much more.
- Powerful but simple engine
- ASR control
- Texturizer and Spreader Functions to make every keypress create a unique outcome
- Dynamic purging for saving system resources
- Simple sound browsing by either selecting via menu or jumping forward and backward by pressing the arrows
- Based upon our library Broken Bells
- Over 115 Patches to get you started
- 35 Multis
- Beautiful 3D GUI for your inspiration
Metamorpha:Allmosphere includes a few features, which help you no create a rich, full sound like the texturizer or the spread function.
Allmosphere takes the step a bit further and carries anything from Pads, Strings, Brass, Synthetic, Textures, Keys and much more, all designed only from the Broken Bells content. The core of the library is the raw sample content of course for your own sound design.

The idea behind this is to have beautiful little instruments at your fingertips that inspire you and that do not have an overcomplicated engine.

But also sampled instruments, that have been recorded for this series exclusively like a Glockenspiel, various Bells, etc.

Autumn Choirs by Sound Aesthetics Sampling Review
Autumn Choirs by Sound Aesthetics Sampling Review
Did you ever wonder how the beautiful sound of wind can be used in your next score or as a sound design element? In our review, we are taking a look at a library that does understand to take wind field recordings and take those captured sounds into very organic sounding instruments. Autumn Choirs is all about underscore, drones, and textures.
Sound Aesthetics Sampling did send a review copy with no strings attached.
Sound
I dig processed field recordings used for ambiance or as an instrument. One of my very first purchases was a field recording library several years back. Autumn Choirs is based on wind recorded in the field.
The sound of the progressed field recordings within Autumn Choirs is exceptional good. There are a few useful libraries in this space, most of the time they are priced at a different level like the great Haunted Spaces. The benefit for you as a composer when buying Autumn Choirs is first the quality and the low price point.
The included sounds are grouped by harsh, smooth, pulsing, drones, pads, experimental, degraded and pluck sounds.
When you use the included sounds in a musical relation, you get some elements to be placed in the back maybe the lower end — if you use it as a sound bed or sound design, possibly processed with some external plugin in your DAW to create some fresh-sounding tracks.
User interface & Usability
Overall the UI meets the expectations that every library is measured against. I found the main page well designed and easy to use.
It is good that the development team (Lead: Paul Lebküchner) made it possible to change used sound within the loaded Kontakt patch. The included presets/patches do help tremendously to go through the included sounds. More than 160 patches are included. Erick McNerney and Paul Lebküchner are geniuses behind those great patches.
Rating: Five out of five stars
AutumnChoirs includes Drones, Ambiences, and Textures procured from original field recordings of wind. The processed wind sounds are very usable fresh and great to use. With the quality and ridiculously low price point, you can not miss out on this tremendous sounding library.
