Ilio Spectrasonics Atmosphere Software Plug-In (Item # ATMOSPHERE)

Spectrasonics Atmosphere Dream Synth Module is a software plug-in instrument that integrates a massive 3.7 GB core library of more than 1000 unique sounds and layer elements with a powerful and intuitive interface for shaping new textures. Atmosphere works as a native plug-in instrument in all major hosts like Logic, Digital Performer, Cubase, Nuendo and Pro Tools.

Atmosphere was designed from the ground up by acclaimed synthesist Eric Persing, well known for his sound design of classic Roland synthesizers and award-winning sample libraries. Persing and his international team of sound designers developed the Atmosphere core library using over 100 sound design devices and nearly every conceivable synthesis method including granular, additive, wavetable, wavescanning, graintable, neural processing, vintage analog, vector, virtual analog, FM, plug-in manipulations and unusual acoustic sources as well. This custom core library gives Atmosphere its unprecedented variety of tonal textures, especially when compared to standard soft-synths.

The range of sounds this instrument is capable of is astonishing, from lush ethereal pads to powerful leads, crystalline glass swells to dark brooding atonal clouds, unusual synth basses, evocative ambiences, deep drones, complex textures, vintage analog sounds, disturbing noise FX, europhasers, gorgeous ambient string ensembles, thick trance/techno sounds, wavetable sweeps, vocoded choirs, dense vocal washes, transparent evolutions, and shimmering prisms of harmonic convergence. Sounds this rich put even the best hardware synths to shame!

The stellar sound quality is this instrument's number one feature. The scope of sounds it can produce is very broad, making it extremely versatile in a wide variety of musical situations. This is made possible because there has never been a programmable synth released with such a massive, high resolution core wavetable to work with...completely dedicated to sound design elements (no stock pianos or oboes!)

The core library is just the starting point for your own creations. The beauty of Atmosphere is in its "dual-layer" concept. You can immediately mix and match the layers of any of the 1000 patches and tweak each layer fully independently. That's over a million possible combinations! Each layer has its own multimode resonant filters, four LFOs, three envelopes and matrix modulation. There is also an additional master filter for quick tone shaping. The possibilities for creative manipulation are phenomenal... and yet it is so easy to use.
