Riot Audio has announced the release of new sample-based virtual instrument that is tailored to producing pads with rich, complex high frequency elements.

Based on a unique category-based sound architecture, Candyfloss draws on 60 organic sounds processed through various forms of granular treatment as a basis for musical sound design.

Although technically a sample library, the architecture and resulting sounds are more reminiscent of a synth.

CANDYFLOSS’s pulses, pads and other sounds combine glistening high frequency pearls, frothy mid-range rasps and grainy streaks with close-mic’ed acoustic instrument drones and washes inside an engine that allows for extensive time-based modulation and motion.

The result are immediately intriguing patches with a huge depth of sonic interest that evolve over time.

Regularly priced £89 GBP, Candyfloss for the full version of Kontakt 6.6.1 or higher is on sale for the intro price of £59 GBP until April 24th, 2024.
