Elektroniq is the 7th soundset in our series of soundsets for Omnisphere 2 where we take a synthesizer, record the most important aspects of it, and recreate its characteristics in Omnisphere.

The concept of the soundset is built on analog sounds taken from the Elektron Analog Rytm, using the Dual VCO analog synthesizer engine, but with a twist. Instead of just recording the sounds and oscillators into Omnisphere, we let the sounds first take a detour through one of the coolest hardware samplers from the 1990s: the Ensoniq EPS 16+.
"elektroniq is an edgy soundset based on synth sounds from an elektron analog rytm and an ensoniq eps 16+."
When sampling the Analog Rytm, we did the old re-pitching trick, by recording the sounds at a higher pitch then playing the sounds at a lower pitch. This technique is very effective to bring out that old-school sampler vibe.

We sampled the Elektron in multiple sample frequencies, from the crappiest 11 kHz all the way up to 44 kHz. The sounds were sampled with the anti-aliasing filter set to off, as we wanted to capture all gritty details.

As a final interesting twist, we also recorded some of the samples with the built-in effects of the Ensoniq set to maximum wetness.

Apart from the analog sounds, we also recorded a handful of drum sounds from the Analog Rytm, and some old-school speech synthesizer vocal phrases. Together with the single presets, we also combined another 50 sounds into complex multisounds.
