Product Overview

Dojo is a sample-based synth for Kontakt, drawing inspiration from the principles of Japanese martial arts to inform its sound design. It features two main instruments: the Kumite synth, which offers aggressive, mangled analog sounds, and the Kata synth, focusing on organic textures and evolving atmospheres.

Details

The Kumite synth is built around synthetic sounds and includes a variety of textures, orchestral phrases, and deep cinematic impacts. It employs a custom-scripted modulation engine that allows for the creation of punchy phrases and hybrid orchestral cues. The Kata synth combines multiple organic sources, such as strings and woodwinds, which can be morphed and processed using an XY pad for detailed sound manipulation.

Both instruments come with a sample import feature, enabling users to drag and drop their own samples for processing within the core engines. With over 420 snapshots available, Dojo provides a wide range of sound design possibilities suitable for action, thriller, horror, and ambient genres. The integration of spectral resynthesis techniques adds a unique layer of depth, allowing for both realistic and surreal soundscapes.
