Organic Instruments has announced the release of its tools for creating professional sample-based virtual instrument plugins. The Elemental Suite consists of Elemental Studio, allowing customers to design, build and publish their own virtual instruments in VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone formats, and Elemental Player, where users can load instruments from any publisher and use them for playback in their preferred DAW.
Elemental Suite optionally provides robust licensing and encryption capabilities, ideal for those looking to sell their instruments, and publishers are able to contact Organic Instruments to transform their creations into independent, white-label products. This release enables producers and composers to take advantage of a new and streamlined approach to building powerful virtual instrument plugins.
“We know that many musicians, producers & composers have been waiting for a way to produce their own instrument plug-ins with a streamlined approach. As we release Elemental Studio & Elemental Player, we’re truly excited about sharing a new way for customers to create VST3, AU, AAX & Standalone instrument plug-ins.
Publishers no longer need years of coding experience, a team of developers, and considerable time & expense to realise their creative potential. Whether it’s creating the next best virtual piano, or designing unconventional & innovative sample libraries, it’s an incredible time to share as we enable everyone to take advantage of the best new tools for virtual instrument production.” explained Jonathan Vardouniotis, Founder and Developer of Organic Instruments.
To celebrate the release, Elemental Suite is available at a lifetime discount of 33% on all annual subscriptions for Elemental Studio, priced $140 USD instead of $210 USD until November 15th, 2023. Students and educators are eligible for further savings, with details available on the education page of Organic Instruments’ website.
Elemental Studio is Organic Instruments’ intuitive and streamlined application for producing sample-based virtual instruments. Featuring an efficient workflow for mapping audio files to playable MIDI notes, Elemental Studio allows publishers to add multiple Sound Sets per instrument, with an unlimited number of samples filtered by Note Range, Velocity and Round-Robins. With support for advanced techniques such as additional FX samples for key/pedal depressions and releases and the ability to automatically transpose an audio file across a range of keys, even the most detailed and sophisticated instruments can be built.
For customers already familiar with other sampling systems, the Batch Import tool can be used to automatically import and sort sample files. Users can also easily configure the branding experience for their instruments by customizing their publisher name, and curating color schemes and images within their product. Optional tools to encrypt an instrument’s audio files and require sellable licenses to play are built-in, ideal for any user wishing to sell their instruments to others.
Available itself as an instrument plugin, Elemental Studio also features a functional real-time preview of instruments as they’re being built, that can be used to instantly test new creations in any DAW.
Elemental Player is a dedicated plugin for the playback of all instruments built with Elemental Studio. Featuring a refined user-interface and intuitive controls, Elemental Player allows users to easily navigate their library of instruments, and load as many as desired into their DAW project.
Every instrument features built-in Reverb, ASDR Envelope, and Dynamic controls, while also letting users assign instruments to different MIDI channels to craft and control customised layers of sound. Sound Sets can be changed via the UI, or from a DAW or external MIDI device, and a Transpose function is also built-in to the Player for easy pitch-shifting with a single click. Available as a VST3, AU, AAX and standalone plugin.
All instruments produced with Elemental Studio can be converted into independent VST3, AU, AAX and standalone plugins devoid of all Organic Instruments branding, through our white-label offering, Elemental Core. Additionally, all Elemental instruments are eligible to be published and sold via the Organic Instruments website for increased exposure to a wide-ranging audience of composers, musicians and producers.
