Product Overview

Torus is a gong sample library that offers a rich palette of evolving tones and broad-spectrum resonance. It features a diverse selection of gongs, allowing for a wide range of sonic textures suitable for cinematic scoring, ambient compositions, and experimental soundscapes.

Details

The library includes three distinct recording scenarios: a dry room session, a hall session, and cinematic experiments. Each scenario captures the gongs with varying techniques, providing up to nine velocity layers and multiple articulations. The dry room session focuses on detailed responses that blend well into rhythmic sections, while the hall session adds a spacious quality ideal for orchestral contexts. The cinematic experiments explore unconventional techniques, such as using superballs and contact microphones to create unique vibrational effects.

The interface is designed for intuitive sound sculpting, featuring an XY pad for controlling evolving soundscapes and various parameters for fine-tuning. With a total of 1,287 samples, Torus offers extensive flexibility for composers looking to integrate organic low-end power and nuanced atmospheric detail into their projects.
