AudioThing has released a plugin version of its Soundscapes Vol.1 sound library.
Previously released as a sample library for NI Kontakt, Soundscapes Vol 1 is now available in VST/AU plug-in formats.
Soundscapes Vol.1 features soundscapes, textures and ambiences divided into two main categories: concrete and gear.
The raw concrete samples were recorded in different places across Europe (Paris, Dublin, London and Naples) using studio or handy equipment. The raw gear samples were recorded from hardware synthesizers like a Custom Eurorack Modular Synth, guitar pedals and noisy toys like the Thingamagoop 2.

The Temple of Mercury is the first in a a series of sample libraries inspired by research in sound environments and the relationship of sound and space.
Environments “Temple of Mercury” features sound gestures from a corrugated plastic pipe and the impulse response of the Temple of Mercury, a wide caldera situated in the west of Naples (Italy). The Temple is also known as “The Echo Temple” for its several acoustic reflections caused by a dome vault and water on the floor. The temple is entirely made of tophus, and it has a diameter of 21.5 meters (71ft) and a circular opening in the vault reminiscent of the one in the Pantheon in Rome.
The sampled instrument produces flute, horn, efxs, impulsive sounds, and, with a little electroacoustic modification, feedback sounds; all sounds are playable with or without the convolution of the Temple. This library was inspired by a video by Salvatore Carannante, a musician who plays common or recycled everyday objects as a way of interacting with the acoustic space.
Environments – Temple of Mercury features
24 Kontakt Instruments (.nki).
5 Kontakt Multis (.nkm).
3 Round Robin samples.
Up to 3 velocity layers.
87 Samples (44.1kHz / 24Bit).
1 Impulse Response.
Formats: Kontakt and WAV.
Sample sets including flute, horn, efxs, impulsive sounds, feedback sounds, sound designed instruments.
The sound library is available to purchase for the introductory price of $12 until November 24th, 2012 (regular $15 USD).
