Sound Particles Spatial Music Bundle

Sound Particles Spatial Music Bundle includes the perfect toolkit to mix music in spatial and includes 5 plugins: Energy Panner, Brightness Panner, Space Controller Studio, Density and the newest product, Air | Music Edition.

Energy Panner

Energy Panner uses the intensity of a sound to control its movement. From traditional stereo to immersive, this plugin enables artists to add dynamic depth to their panning techniques without any effort or additional routing.

Sound Intensity Controls Panning

With Energy Panner, the sound intensity controls the panner, creating movement that reacts to sound. Imagine drums moving at the beat, synth notes that move on attack, among many other behaviours. From music to audio post, from stereo to Dolby Atmos, Energy Panner is a plugin that you definitely want in your toolset.

Panning Mode

The Pan mode is essentially a normal end-to-end particle-based panning. This type of panning effect changes the position of the sound source between two points (start point -> endpoint) previously defined by you. Therefore, the greater the energy of the input signal the greater the shift from the starting point to the endpoint.

Sliding Mode

Whenever the audio signal reaches a certain level (threshold value), the sound source moves on a trajectory that you define. As opposed to pan mode, the sound source does not return to the starting point as soon as the signal level drops. The sound source will freeze that position until the audio signal exceeds the threshold value again, leading to a new shift of the sound source in the dome space.

Features

• Stereo, Immersive & Binaural Outputs: From stereo, 7.1, HOA to Binaural and Dolby Atmos, Energy Panner gives you several output options based on virtual microphones technology.
• Dynamic Movement: Easily set how the sounds will move. For instance, will they move from the speakers position to the centre or will they move clockwise starting from a custom position?
• Sidechain: Use external signals to control the effect of the plugin instead of using the track’s sound for this.
• Visualization Dome: Track every single movement the sounds are making through the main component of the plugin’s UI: the dome.
• Randomization: Running out of ideas? Don’t worry! The Energy Panner has a randomize option that outputs a new result each time you click it.
• Absolute Control: Energy Panner brings you all the options you need to have complete control over how the sounds are moving in the panoramic field.

Brightness Panner

Brightness Panner will change the way you use sound in space, enriching your mixes by spreading sound around you.

This unique audio plugin makes panning easier than ever, by applying movement to your sounds using Brightness, Pitch and MIDI analysis.

Brightness Panner dynamically pans sound based on frequency, pitch or MIDI notes, using the familiar dynamics parameters of threshold, ratio, attack and release to pan channel outputs to any speaker configuration. From stereo to Atmos, from 5.1 to binaural or Ambisonics Brightness Panner enables music, post-production and game audio professionals to simply and creatively add dynamic movement to their mixes.

Brightness Analysis

Brightness Panner analyzes the spectrum of sounds in order to pan them in 3D according to a range of frequencies set by the user.

Pitch Analysis

Brightness Panner identifies the pitch of individual notes and pans them in 3D according to a range of pitch values set by the user.

MIDI Analysis

Brightness Panner receives MIDI notes and pans sounds in 3D according to a range of MIDI notes set by the user.

Features

• Dynamic Movement: Easily set how the sounds will move. For instance, will they move from the speaker’s position to the centre or will they move clockwise starting from a custom position?
• Visualization Dome: Track every single movement the sounds are making through the main component of the plugin’s UI: the dome.
• Randomization: Running out of ideas? Don’t worry! The Brightness Panner has a randomize option that outputs a new result each time you click it.

Space Controller Studio

Space Controller is the best way to pan sounds in surround and immersive. Simply connect your mobile device to a DAW, use it as a movement reader and pan the sounds to where you’re pointing.

Panning with knobs in stereo is perfectly fine. However, when working with surround or 3D sound, even when using joysticks, it’s much harder to get the results you’re looking for.

By connecting a mobile device and its motion sensors with any DAW, Sound Particles’ patent-pending technology offers a highly efficient and intuitive way to pan sounds to where you point the device.

Every movement you can imagine is now possible, easier than ever – and just a touch away. Space Controller is a plugin and an app, that together allow you to pan sound from stereo to any immersive format, either in a home studio or mixing stage.

Space Controller Studio Benefits:

• Bluetooth + Wi-Fi
• Any Audio Format
• Perfect for a Mixing Stage

Features

• Size – Space Controller allows changing the size of sources, which will control the width of each sound. Higher sizes will make a sound reach for more speakers, whereas sounds with smaller sizes will reach less speakers.
• Locks – It is possible to individually hold each position-related parameters, either as coordinates in Cube mode or angles in Sphere.
• Modes – Choose from four different modes – Mono, Dual, Rotation and Symmetric – to place and move each source independently, control and rotate the entire sound field, or even use the Symmetric Mode to control the width of a 5.1 recording.
• Cube vs Sphere – Space Controller offers the possibility of panning either in Cube or Sphere Mode, depending on your preferred workflow.
• Multiple Views – It is possible to select between the top and rear views to get consistent visual cues of where the sound is being placed.
• Stereo, Multichannel and Immersive Support – From stereo to 5.1, from HOA to Binaural, from 7.1 to Dolby Atmos, Space Controller Studio provides several output options for the panner.
• iPod Support – Do you want a cheap dedicated controller for your studio? You can use an iPod touch instead of a mobile phone.
• Dolby Atmos Objects – Copy and paste automation to Dolby Atmos Objects
• Pan in even more audio formats – Quad, 4.0, LCR, LCRS, 5.0.2, 5.1.2, 5.0.4, 5.1.4, 7.0.4, 7.0.6, 7.1.6, 9.0.8, 9.1.8, 11.1.8
• LFE – Control the LFE channel
• Links – Work with an increased number of communication links (128)

Density

Density is an audio effect plugin that creates various layers of sounds based on the input. With great results in stereo and fantastic ones in immersive, this plugin allows artists to create incredible sounding ensembles based on a solo input and get incredible spatialization.

A Voice Turns into Choirs and a Violin into String Ensembles

Density creates various layers of sounds based on a single track. Using granular technology, It’s now incredibly easy to increase the density of sounds on your tracks, with beautiful results.

From music to sound design, from stereo to Dolby Atmos, Density is a plugin that you definitely want in your toolset.

Features

Air | Music Edition

Air | Music Edition is the perfect plugin to quickly and realistically simulate the distance and depth of musical elements in any mix. Air will help you achieve natural-sounding performance results in the studio and sound like the real deal in seconds.

Elevate your music, let instruments breathe and mixes shine.

Add Depth To Your Mix With One Knob

Air | Music Edition removes the sterile feel of a typical studio setting (where vocals & instruments often get close mic-ed) by simulating air absorption, making your music sound natural, organic and clear, and by simulating the acoustic effect of distance between the listener and the real-life music performance. It’s a subtle but effective plugin.

Skip The Multiple Steps To Add Depth

Air | Music Edition allows you to skip the standard time-consuming method of adding depth in a mix (attenuate the volume and EQ of high frequencies) without resulting in a sea of effects that mud the production. Use this plugin to realistically create depth. Air does it with precision and with a natural feel as you adjust the distance knob – without the risk of adding distractions.

Experiment with placing drums a few feet away from the guitars, or the vocals a few feet forward from the keyboard.

Brand New Look

With this new version of the plugin, get an updated and spectacular new design and UI

Distance Attenuation

Control the amount of additional attenuation you would get with different distances by controlling the variation of the audio output

Natural Results

Air is much more accurate than a simple low-pass filter, using scientifically measured frequency response values of air dampening

Frequency Response

With Air | Music Edition, you can see the actual frequency response that is being applied to the music

World Units

Do you prefer “meters” or “feet”? “Mph” or “km/h”? Full integration with Imperial and Metric units, for an easy and more welcoming workflow for everyone
