Reduction for Omnisphere is a slowed down and melancholic soundset based on sounds recorded from the Virus TI. To give the raw samples a layer of old dusty gear, we sampled all the sounds with an Ensoniq EPS 16+, using low sample rates and recording levels (to emulate further bit reductions).
"the focus with reduction was to create an ambient soundset based on the virus synthesizer, coated in the sound of vintage old gear."
From the sound of broken bits and dusty sounds, the samples were imported into Omnisphere for a beautifying session with smooth reverbs, chorus and delays. Apart from tonal sounds, we also recorded drum, effects and percussion elements. As a last step we created 40 combined multi sounds based on the singles from the library.
