Julian Drangmeister of sm_p (Sound, Music and Production) has announced the release of two new sound packs.
A collection of 64 presets for Martinic’s AX73 software recreation of Akai’s iconic analog polysynth from 1986, Colorful unites forty years of synthesizer history, from the lush warmth of the late ’80s to the sleek, modern tones of today.
Inside you’ll find shimmering pads, evolving textures, bold leads, deep basses, sparkling keys, and atmospheric layers — each crafted to capture the character of its decade while unlocking the creative possibilities of the modern AX73 engine. From retro‑flavoured grooves to modern pop and forward‑thinking electronic beats, the pack offers a spectrum of sounds that unites past and present.
Also available is Noisy, a collection of 1,024 meticulously recorded and processed noise samples covering everything from the deep rumble of brown noise to the silky smoothness of pink noise, the crisp clarity of white noise and a wide range of experimental textures.
The collection includes evolving noise beds, sweeping risers, granular bursts, airy washes and richly layered ambiences. Each sound has been designed to bring movement, space and character to your projects. Whether you are building haunting atmospheres, cinematic drones, immersive game environments or experimental audio art, this pack offers a versatile selection of noise‑based elements that can shift seamlessly from subtle background detail to powerful, scene‑defining effects.
Regularly priced $19 USD each, the packs are available to purchase at a 60% pre-sale discount for a limited time.
