MUSICAL SOUNDSCAPES OF ICE AND SNOW


NORDIC SPHERES is a Kontakt instrument that creates vast, frozen soundscapes and musical spheres using a combination of rich, sound effects content, granular synthesis, and percussive sounds. It was developed in a collaboration between Pole Position Production and Germany-based Sonsucore to create a treasure trove of rich tonal and non-tonal audio from a wealth of creative sources. Pole’s recordings combined with Sonuscore’s layering and arpeggiator possibilities have created a truly inspirational instrument.

THE BLISS OF NUMBNESS

NORDIC SPHERES was created from a variety of mangled atypical tonal and non-tonal sounds and effects, mixed together like crashing glaciers. There are four layers from which to build an intricate texture, each with its own ADSR, arpeggiator, and FX options that include EQ, saturation, chorus, and tremolo.

SLIDING WITH THE GRAIN

NORDIC SPHERES was designed with great glacial movements in mind. The Grain Engine was the natural choice to achieve this, so that, like snowflakes, no two sounds are ever the same. The advanced arpeggiator engine allows for complex weaves to float through the sonic spectrum, while the modulation knob controls any number of motion FX.

ECHOES OF AN ETERNAL EXPANSE

The secret behind the crystalline and haunting tones of NORDIC SPHERES lies in the expressive capabilities of the four layers and how the effects are tied to the modwheel.

GRAIN ENGINES

The two upper layers feature the Grain Engines – the real icing on the instrument. Adjust the density for thickness, the starting position for something harder to grasp, and change the timing to smear or shatter the sound like falling icycles. Further advanced controls include an ADSR and arpeggiator, with the FX able to be tied to the modwheel.

LAYERS

NORDIC SPHERES is like the tundra, with layers of frost and ice. Unlike the permafrost, however, it’s easy to build upon them. For the two Grain Engines, choose from Tonal, Tonal Effects, Non-Tonal Effects, and Looping sounds and from the two traditional sample engines: Hits, Particles, and Sustains. Each layer has access to an arpeggiator and FX.

ARPEGGIATORS

Sonuscore is well known for their incredibly advanced arpeggiators, and Nordic Spheres lacks nothing of that power. Each layer has access to its own arpeggiator or LFO, allowing you to create intricate patterns that freeze the senses and immediately inspire new musical ideas.

FROM ICY TONES TO VOLCANIC RAGE

With the Motion options in each FX grid, tie the FX to the modwheel, allowing you to drastically change the timbre, from icey detachment to burning rage. Use the presets to discover the kinds of changes that you can scrape out, and guide your sounds to whole new spectrums by the interplay of grain, particle, and pad.
