The world's largest synth now with syncable LFOs and loads of new sounds.

The Spectrasonics Atmosphere Dream Synth Module is a massive plug-in synth produced by famed synth sound designer Eric Persing for Logic Digital Performer Cubase VST Nuendo and Pro Tools. Atmosphere gives you lush pads ambient textures and tons of powerhouse synths and interchangeable layers. A new type of software plug-in instrument the Atmosphere - Dream Synth Module integrates a massive 3.7GB core library of more than one thousand unique sounds and layer elements with a powerful intuitive interface for shaping new textures.

Atmosphere was designed from the ground up by acclaimed synthesist Eric Persing well known for his sound design of classic Roland synthesizers and award-winning sample libraries. Persing and his International team of sound designers developed the Atmosphere core library using over a hundred sound design devices and nearly every conceivable synthesis method including Granular Additive Wavetable Wavescanning Graintable Neural Processing Vintage Analog Vector Virtual Analog FM Plug-In manipulations and unusual Acoustic sources as well. This custom core library gives Atmosphere its unprecedented variety of tonal textures especially when compared to standard soft-synths.

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 dense vocal washes transparent evolutions and shimmering prisms of harmonic convergence. Sounds this rich put even the best hardware synths to shame!

Atmosphere can produce a broad scope of sounds making it extremely versatile in a wide variety of musical situations thanks to a massive high resolution core wavetable completely dedicated to sound design elements (no stock pianos or oboes!).

Eric explains the recent enhancements to the instrument since the introduction of the Atmosphere concept: "Our original design for Atmosphere was intended for producing evolving pads and rich ambient sounds. However in the evolution of the development of Atmosphere we have significantly expanded the range of the core library's sonic palette and added new functions and capabilities to the interface which now allow for a vast array of synth sounds and sound design including unique leads and percussive sounds as well. We are very pleased to be releasing Atmosphere as a much more powerful synthesizer capable of many inspiring and fresh sounds across the complete range of electronic music. It's also gratifying that we've been able to include these new capabilities without making the interface more difficult to use. No matter how our instruments will be evolving over time the cornerstone of our design philosophy will always be to make 'powerfully simple' instruments that every user can get great results with."

The core library of a thousand powerful sounds is just the starting point for your own creations. The beauty of Atmosphere is in its "dual-layer" concept. You can immediately mix and match the layers of any of the 1000 patches and tweak each layer fully independently. That's over a million possible combinations! Each layer has its own multimode resonant filters 4 LFOs 3 envelopes and matrix modulation. There is also an additional master filter for quick tone shaping. The possibilities for creative manipulation are phenomenal . . . and yet it is so easy to use.
