From Our Research Team:

Atmosphere Dream Synth!

The Atmosphere Dream Synth Module is a new type of software plug-in instrument that integrates a massive, three gigabyte core library of more than one thousand unique sounds and layer elements, with a powerful and intuitive interface for shaping new textures. Atmosphere works as a native plug-in instrument in all major hosts like Logic, Digital Performer, Cubase, Nuendo and Pro-Tools.

The range of sounds this instrument is capable of is astonishing, from lush ethereal pads, to powerful leads, crystalline glass swells to dark brooding atonal clouds, unusual synth basses, evocative ambiences, deep drones, complex textures, vintage analog sounds, disturbing noise FX, europhasers, gorgeous ambient string ensembles, thick trance/techno sounds, wavetable sweeps, vocoded choirs, and much, much more. Sounds this rich put some of the best hardware synths to shame, and the scope of sounds it can produce is very broad. The core library of a thousand powerful sounds is just the starting point for your own creations.

Atmosphere's "dual-layer" concept allows you to mix and match the layers of any of the 1,000 patches, and tweak each layer fully independently.

Though I do not own Atmosphere yet, a friend I work with does.

The one to own!

by Tom May from Kansas City, MO

Music Background: Pro musician and composer of progressive rock.
I have owned several of the great synth keyboars/tone generators from Korg (M1/Wavestation),Yamaha (TG77-the most underated synth of all time!) and the Roland 1080 module w/expansion boards. The idea ... read more [+]that a soft synth could ever compete with these beauties in the "pad realm" seemed silly.

Then came Atmosphere! My goodness, what a miracle. Although a bit of a CPU hog, this unit has relaced all of the above (well, OK, I still use the TG77.)

From ease of operation, to wonderful expansive selection of sounds, Atmosphere just does the job, and it inspires creativity like none other.

If you need to get that one synth that you just really are going to depend on for lush sounds, this is the one to own. close [-]

When I first began recording, I used my Kurzweil 2600 for all my pads & synths. I thought they sounded pretty good & was happy with my sounds.

Not only are there enough patches to keep you captivated for months, they all sound amazing! From rich, warm pads to complex soundscapes, Atmosphere has it all. And it's all tweakable!

UNREAL!

This is the plug in to own if you are into ambient or experimental music. Some say it's pricey, but it's easily worth double the price. The string section alone is worth the price of this piece of s... read more [+]oftware. The only downside is that it doesnt have any piano patches. This is a small problems. Once you hear all 1000 patches you will know why world class composers from all over the world use this for soundtracks and scores for shows like CSI and LOST. The song samples on this site do not do Atmosphere justice.
