DRONAR: CINEMATIC ATMOSPHERES
DRONAR: Cinematic Atmospheres is the fifth module in Gothic Instruments' series of atmosphere creation tools for Kontakt and, unlike previous modules, the focus turns to the FX dial courtesy of some weird and wonderful fields recordings by Alessandro Camnasio.
From intensely high pitched to the deepest low frequencies, eerie and haunting, dark and mysterious, not to mention those that are simply offensive to the ears, the FX elements in this collection will make you feel cold, tense and inextricably uncomfortable. They are, therefore, the perfect ingredients for using DRONAR to create evocative musical soundscapes and atmospheric pads that will emotionally charge your next modern cinematic production – from mystery and horror to sci-fi and thriller genres.

"The string samples themselves represent a diversity of articulations and sounds - the patch-building possibilities are endless. The best Dronar yet!"

"Dronar Live Strings is a magnificent sound module that delivers versatile and evolving cinematic soundscapes. An inspiring addition to any composer's toolkit."

"Ultimately this is an excellent tool for scoring, game and movie sound design and similar applications. Even played with just a couple of keys, it is able to generate organic, pulsing, complex and sometimes terrifying string parts and with great tweakability, can be bent to do pretty much anything you could ask of it."

"The sounds are absolutely massive, a collection of strikes, metallic hits, earthquake and missile sounds, collisions, thunder and more. Used in isolation they are perfect for movie sound, with exactly the kind of character you'd expect from a blockbuster. Layered with drums they can be used to create huge percussion parts, again of the kind you hear in games or movies."

"DRONAR is difficult to ignore, offering as it does a significant chunk of finally-produced, often luxurious material at a very reasonable price. Whether you're into dark drones or questing for the ultimate pad, ambience or tripped-out cinematic moodgasm, it comes highly recommended."

"It will most readily attract the interest of sound designers and music-for-media composers who will love the sonic complexity and variation afforded by so immediate an interface. For producers making dance and pop music who are looking for deep, rich, evolving sounds, it's also well worth a look."
