Westgate Sounds has released the first volume of SOA – Permutations of Shadows, a SoundFont sample library.

While making some multi presets for the new V6 Anomaly VSTi, I discovered I wanted the ability to make new sounds from the presets already existing. So I got the idea to sample every single preset in the Anomaly sound volumes, starting with 1, IV and VI – the FX/Textures sounds. This will become a huge sample pool from which I can produce new morphed and mangled Textures.

Once I started the sampling process I realized something else – the .sf2 owners of Anomaly never got any of the presets, just the raw sounds.

SOA can either stand for Son of Anomaly or Sounds of Anomaly – you decide. But it will bring the sounds of the presets to .sf2 owners.
