Tubes

Tubes! is dedicated to the raw but caressing nature of tube sound, showing that there´s more to tubes than amplification. A whole synthesizer built with tube modules as well as various effects were used to create a bunch of the most aggressive, glamourous or simply unusual samplesets ever made... Tube sound rocks!!!

Tubes? - Tubes!

Tube sound bears, due to the tubes´ unique technical character, some incomparable sonic possibilities. With soft saturation and the often quoted warmth, a lot of body and soul can be added to todays rather clinically sounding productions. Pads and leads start bootlicking and accoustic style instruments get wiser with just a little scratch of tube sound. Raising the level a little bit higher basses evolve to huge, clipped monsters and synthesizers go off screaming in a nutty way. This Virtual Instrument is nothing like farty, transistor- or digital-style overdrive! - This is Tubes!

To show that tube sound is versatile, a lot of audio-sources were used in combination with the little glowing buggers. From software- to digital- and analog hardware synthesizers up to a full blown analog modular system quite some combinations have been checked out. After recording, having versatile and seamless playability as well as canny filesizes in mind, every multi-samplekit was edited to deliver a high performance Virtual Instrument.
