Sonuscore has announced the release of its new Kontakt Player powered sample library Dark Horizon, an earth-shattering bass-heavy synth built using synthesizers and a variety of sounds bent and warped into fascinating soundscapes and powerful low ends.
Dark Horizon is designed to obliterate the subs while maintaining a crisp and pristine sound. Featuring 80 playable instruments, it allows you to play complex patterns with simple chords.
DARK HORIZON was born when sound designer Tobias Menguser was contemplating if he could go a different direction with ELYSION 2: THE ENCOUNTER. Where there we focused on creating new and aggressive soundscapes, he wanted to turn the knobs to something even darker and more extreme. Where ELYSION 2 touched upon elements of what was beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, DARK HORIZON touches on the unknown reaches of space and time.
We designed DARK HORIZON by taking the ELYSION engine and tweaking it towards Tobias’s vision. With Tobias’s sounds, it creates complex, tension inducing waves of bass and vibration.
“We adjusted all the features for dark and dirty bass sounds of all kinds,” says Tobias. His idea began when he was going through the Dirt Bikes library of the BOOM Library and he asked himself, “Can I design a playable instrument by combining BOOM SFX sounds with resynthesized THE ORCHESTRA sounds and my own synths?”
