Fortunately, chains don’t have to be permanent once again because they may be built and reordered in real time from a choice of over 20 studio-quality effects including Compressor, EQ, Saturator, Phaser, Delay, Reverb, and many more.

The presets are sorted by bizarre, dark, electronic, emotions, stingers and world presets. Many of the presets are best played as single-note ambiances, and drones. The included presets of the library comprise a comprehensive assortment of feelings and include bowed, plucked, and strummed styles. Overall you get atmospheres and textures that fit very well in many mixes and scores.

Sample Logic did also include a steps sequencer which can be used to build magnetic flows. There are also presets added to allow you to get started immediately and examine specific movements. This step sequencer has some very productive sequencing options.

User interface & Usability

Using this interface is straightforward. If you own any other libraries, you should be applied to the look and feel and how to use the instrument fast. The pad in the middle which blends the different instruments and sounds loaded can be automated.

There is also a randomization feature included, to use it you have to select the small R assigned to different parts of the library. Only chosen parameters and instruments slots will be randomized when you press the top right RANDOM button.

The randomization of more than 12 parameters and instruments creates unique new instruments or when you restrict the changes to effects, or just a few setting allows you to discover new fascinating and novel adaptations of presets or your own created sounds.

DYNAMIC RANDOMIZATION

I can only highly recommend using some of the sounds in third-party external plugins that further mangle the sounds or can add pulsing motions.

Unique is the included Stingers part of this library. The stingers are more sustained and melodic which differs nicely from many other available stingers in other libraries.
