Product Overview

Dust Engine 2 is a hybrid electro-acoustic instrument that combines unconventional hardware synths, pianos, trumpet, and guitar to create a unique sonic palette. This library offers a range of textures, from shimmering highs to deep, resonant lows, making it suitable for underscore work and atmospheric compositions.

Details

The instrument features five articulations, each crafted from a blend of eclectic sources, including chaotic round robins from a Hammond synth and Dave Smith Evolver, BPM-synced piano loops, and freeform guitar textures. The samples are designed to evolve, with multiple velocity layers and unexpected variations that enhance the organic feel of the sound. The interface includes controls for sample start, volume for each articulation, and a mix randomizer to encourage exploration.

Additional features include a multimode humanized arpeggiator, note attack and release controls, and a three-band EQ. Effects such as transient shaping, tape emulation, and high-quality reverb are also integrated, allowing for detailed sound design. The library encourages experimentation, with patch randomizers that facilitate quick adjustments to the sound, making it a versatile tool for creating rich, layered compositions.
