Details

The library features over 170 presets, including 79 specifically designed by SNAKES OF RUSSIA, and 70 instrument sound sources, all offering up to 13 round robins for nuanced performance. The sound sources include modular and analog synths, obscure bowed instruments, and gritty percussion, all processed to enhance their textural qualities. The MNDALA 2 engine allows for extensive sound manipulation, providing limitless creative possibilities.

Two exclusive effect processors, BESTIAE and DIRTY BUCKETS, model the artist's signature signal chains, offering destructive filters, drive, compression, and bucket brigade delay-based reverbs. This enables dynamic sound shaping in real time, making it suitable for a variety of scoring contexts, particularly those requiring a dark and atmospheric touch. The intuitive performance interface and custom animation-driven controls further enhance usability, allowing for seamless integration into your workflow.
