Precisionsound Hybrid Factory

Precisionsound has released Hybrid Factory, a sample-based synthesiser for Native Instruments Kontakt 4, capable of 1,000 combinations of sounds.

With Hybrid Factory, users can make analogue emulations, digital tones, and imaginary electroacoustic instruments. The samples in Hybrid Factory were created by Iain Morland using a range of techniques, including resynthesizing acoustic instruments; physical modelling; granular synthesis; processing Foley recordings; FM synthesis; sampling old cassettes; and convolving instruments with one another. This gives users a varied and unusual palette for sound design.
