FORMAT: OMNISPHERE STYLE: ELECTRONIC / ANALOG / ELECTRONICA
Element 27 is the 11th entry in our hardware-centric series of soundsets for Omnisphere, where we focus on one synthesizer, record the most important aspects of it, and recreate its characteristics in Omnisphere. Element 27 is a hybrid collection of analog and digital sounds, based on the Cobalt8 synthesizer by Modal Electronics. The Cobalt is an 8-voice virtual analog synthesizer with a very interesting oscillator section with oscillators - called algorithms in Modal-speak - going from traditional subtractive waveforms to experimental fractal waveforms.
"with element 27 we expanded the sound of the cobalt8 into the world of analog warmth and digital sharpness."
As a fun little bonus, we also added a handful of highly processed speech synthesizer words and phrases.
BONUS SOUNDSET: Element of Sin To fully embrace the dual nature of the Cobalt synthesizer, we also refocused on our favourite sounds and remade them using a Moog Modular sine wave from the internal synth engine. The result is an alternative soundset based on mellowness and basic tones.
