Description: 8Dio Soul Series is a new line of products that embodies the musical spirit of famous artists. We are thrilled to begin our journey with renowned composer Christopher Young (Hellraiser, Spider-Man 3, Sinister, Swordfish, Ghost Rider, The Rum Diary, etc.)
Christopher Young has a beautifully unique approach to score, both working with orchestras and performers and weaving musical sound design and textures into his music. We have worked with Christopher Young for the past 18 months and have been recording and sound experiments for over 35 years. The end result is an incredible collection of professional-grade organic textures and tools.
8Dio Soul Series: Christopher Young – Orchestral Touch is a large collection of orchestral effects specially created and designed by Christopher Young. 8Dio has developed a new and improved user interface for Christopher Young’s Libraries, offering many new features. Perhaps the most notable of these is our new IR (Pulse Response) engine. The IR engine offers you the ability to turn any sample in your library into a convolutional pulse. The impulse can then be superimposed on any other sample in the library. In addition, the user interface also includes instant stacking, reverse, stretch, offset, and chaos features. The library also introduces our new Chaos 4.0 system for the first time, which allows you to create any chain of effects of your choice.
Endless Sound Design – Christopher Young’s Libraries offer endless sound design options. Start with over 16,000 stunningly beautiful samples. Then add our new IR engine that lets you turn any sample into impulse convolutions. Add features like instant overlay, reversal, time stretch and offset functions. Add the new advanced Chaos 4.0 engine, which offers you the ability to create your own FX chain racks. Add an extended modulation matrix with 4-part FX control. Add chaos to it all. Do it your way.
IR Engine – The new IR (Impulse Response Engine) offers you the ability to take any sample and convert it to an impulse response. Just play any sample on your controller and hit “Make IR” – and the sample is now superimposed as a convolution reverb on other samples. Turn your piano into reverb for your strings. Take a lonely female voice and layer it over a somber slide flute ensemble. Make the ensemble ghostly, like a shadow in the back and a lone bell in the distance. The IR engine allows you to instantly completely change the soundscape of everything you play.
4-part modulation engine and new Chaos FX 4.0 – Christopher Young’s libraries also contain our new 4-part modulation engine for extreme sample and effects work. Each of the 4 mod modules contains its own X / Y matrix grid, and you can assign an FX parameter to both X / Y values. In addition, powerful features like reverse and stacking are just a click away. The stack allows multiple articulations to be played simultaneously. Very useful for synthesizer presets. In addition, we have also added our new FX engine Chaos 4.0, which allows you to create your own FX racks and signal chains. Everything is easy to use.
Main functions in the foreground – We have placed the most important functions on the front of the instrument so you can easily access them at any time. One click to flip everything. One click to drag the sample across the keyboard. You can also go further with modulation options like Low Frequency, Tone and Formant Machine, Advanced Gate System for synchronized arpeggios with the host. But let’s leave these amazing features aside. The real magic of the collection is in samples. Access the deep and beautiful sonic mind of Christopher Young and take any of over 16,000 handpicked samples and make them your own. Welcome to the 8Dio Soul series and the world of Christopher Young!
