The Serene Universe Soundset contains 171 high quality presets for the beautiful Thorn synthesizer from Dmitry Sches and is suitable for any contemporary electronic and ambient music genres. We continue our love affair with Thorn and are back again with Serene Universe , our fourth soundset release for Thorn, which has been lovingly crafted since Thorn's inception, nearly a year ago. It includes a well balanced assortment of presets spread out a diverse category of patches, including arps, basses, leads, pads, plucks, keys, drums, and sequences. It also contains an additional 150MB of original noise samples and attacks embedded within the presets.

Serene Universe contains exceptionally beautiful pads, lush atmospheres, and serene soundscapes that sound truly unique thanks to Thorn's additive/wavtable properties combined with the original harmonic oscillator - thorn is capable of some amazingly beautiful sounds. In addition, many of the patches utilize the noise layer to the full extent, adding a tasteful organic layer or textures complimenting its live synthesis. A lot of love and appreciation also went into crafting these additional noise samples, blending as many as 5 layers of ambiences into one source. The goal was to subtlely aid the beauty and power of thorns beautiful unique sound, without ever masking it.

In addition, Serene Universe also includes 17 bpm synchronized bass sequences ideal for a cinematic and modern electronic vibe. A major advantage of sequences is the ability to transpose the layered patterns in one go, and use creative legato to add interesting variations. Furthermore, some utterly gorgeous plucks and keys were also included, truly coming alive with vibrance with velocity and modulation settings. There are just so many wonderful routings Thorn has to alter the sound, including the oscillator fx, the harmonic oscillator, the fitlers, gorgeous fx, and glitch pattern. All of these were use as modulation sources. So a pluck or pad could turn into something completely wild and different sounding than the original with the modulation wheel. I had a lot of fun here.

Finally, but not least, some sharp, modern and tasteful leads are also included, in addition to some awesome analog sounding synthesized drums, in addition to hybrid synthesized and organic instruments like gamelan, and synth choirs -- never relying on noise sample, only aiding.
