Colourform

“Colourform” is a Kontakt sample library designed for making atmospheric and unusual sounds in a different way.

Rather than standard sliders and knobs, Colourform uses colours to blend sounds. The core of the Colourform engine is the 3 unique colour wheels which are similar to Oscillators in a synth. Using these controls, creating new sounds is incredibly easy.

The 112 sounds of Colourform are wide atmospheric recordings from abstract sources, such as pitchforks, glass bowls, creaky gates, spanners, rain and thunder, fire, water, miscellaneous metal, CRT screens, bowed glass and plucked strings.

Colour Wheels – The core feature of Colourform is 3 unique controls called colour wheels. These are essentially like Oscillators on a synth. The sound that each colour wheel (or oscillator) makes is determined by what colour the white marker is pointing at on the outer ring.

Design the Order – Each colour wheel is made up from 4 different sounds. These sounds are represented by a colour. Click the segments to cycle through the available colours.

See the Colour Blend – The colours from the 3 colour wheels are blended in real time and shown for you to truly explore what the colour representation of the sound is. Your colour blend can then be saved to one of the 4 built-in preset slots.

Customise each Layer – Change the Volume Envelope, Low Pass Filter, Volume and Pan of each of the 12 available sounds. There is also a link button which allows you to edit all the sounds at once.

Musical Randomisation – Colourform features 2 easy-to-use randomise buttons. The first will spin the colour wheels to a new random location, and the second will randomise all of the colour segments.

Powerful Effects Rack – The Frozen Plain Effects Engine is built into Colourform, it features 13 effects such as: Reverb, Echo, Chorus, Arpeggiator, Sequencer, Atomise and Scatter (granular synth) and more. Each effect has 5 presets.
