Isolated Signals
Gritty digital textures synth
Themed around ‘radio signals from deep space’, Isolated Signals provides you with tonal instruments that evoke notions of extraterrestrial civilisations, cosmic phenomena and retrofuturism. It’s made from 197 samples — each playable as an ‘oscillator’ with the use of loops. These samples are mostly gritty, undulating, textural ‘sustained’ sounds. Also included are over 200 production-ready presets.
Create your own textures, pads and keys
Sound design expert, Erick (Beautiful Void Audio), designed Isolated Signals’ samples using a wide range of synthesis techniques and processing chains. In particular, he used resonating filters to pull out tonal peaks from sounds that previously didn’t have them. The result is unique: the tones are dynamic, spontaneous and gritty. Each of these samples are playable ‘oscillators’ by using an intuitive set of looping controls in Mirage. These are categorised into the following types: Distorted, Low-passed, Movement, Rhythmic Movement, Tonal Focus. They can be loaded into any of Mirage’s 3 layers, where they can be further controlled and processed.
Over 200 categorised and themed presets
Isolated Signals comes with 211 presets. These are categorised in-line with our theme: ‘radio signals from deep space’. You can imagine you are an operator at a radio astronomy observatory. What are the characteristics of the signals that you are receiving from space? Where might they originate from? And how might that be represented sonically or musically? In the preset categories, we use words such as: Hostile, Benevolent, Heavenly to suggest the emotion of the preset. And words such as Fluctuating, Broken, Corrupt or Impulse-hit suggest the timbral characteristic of the preset.
