Sonespheres 2 - Origins

Sonespheres is a series of uniquely sound-designed atmospheric synths, textural pads, evolving soundscapes, nuanced drones and tonal ambiences, built for Native Instruments Kontakt. Each volume explores film and tv composer and long-time Soundiron collaborator Blake Ewing's unique creative vision, delving into deeper aesthetics, stylized niches and specialty production concepts. This volume was crafted using lush symphonic woodwind recordings, with a full array of essential user controls to unlock virtually limitless creative potential.

Blake brings to his craft a brilliant ear for nuanced layering, rich detail, fluid textures and powerful emotional weight. Blake is an American composer with a concentrated interest in creating music for visual media. His compositions have been commissioned, licensed and well received by film directors, producers, videographers, sample developers, advertising firms, music supervisors and fans from around the world. He believes in music - and in its wonderful power to support and elevate storytelling.

Our intuitive user interface gives you flexible control features for two independent sample source modules, with 7 categories and preset selection menus for each encompassing a total of 307 sound source presets. Both modules provide automatable controls for volume, attack, start offset, release, bass, treble, pitch, pan, filter type, filter resonance, filter frequency, LFO shape, LFO rate, LFO tempo-sync, LFO target parameter, LFO depth and LFO attack time. 

The LFO can be routed to Volume, Bass, Treble, Pitch, Pan, Resonance and Frequency. There’s also a cross-fader, legato glide system, and a step-sequencable arpeggiator system, as well as our full FX rack system that allows you to select from 18 creative effect plugins, including convolution reverb with over 100 of our favorite custom reverb impulse responses covering everything from bunkers and undulating sci-fi effects to piano strings and concert halls.

Effects options include Amplifier, Cabinet Simulator, Chorus, Compressor, Delay, Distortion, EQ, Filters, Flanger, Jump Amp, Lo-Fi, Phaser, Convolution Reverb with 100+ custom impulses, Rotator, Skreamer, Stereo, Tape, Saturation, Transient Master and LFO with routing to Volume, Bass, Treble, Pitch, Pan, Resonance and Frequency.
