Dark Sounds Suite Expanded

At the heart of Orakle X is our founder Brian D’Oliveira’s (Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Resident Evil VII: Biohazard) vast collection of one-of-a-kind instruments, assembled during his many travels across the globe. His dedication to studying the ancient performance techniques of these unique instruments, combined with our leading-edge ultrasonic sampling workflow, allows them to be heard in an entirely new way.

From aleatoric flute swarms and bombastic drums to bowed metal textures and extended Baroque cello harmonics, Orakle X gives you all the components needed to create visionary sound worlds.

Recorded with state-of-the-art equipment in our legendary RCA Victor studio in Montreal, and meticulously sampled to capture the nuanced resonances of these rare instruments, Orakle X has vast compositional and sound design applications.

This isn’t your off-the-shelf orchestral library. These sounds are dripping with personality. Our performances focused on alternative extended techniques that amplify the distinctive characteristics of the instruments. Simply hold down one note and hear the sound evolve under your finger. Recorded with sonic mangling and manipulation in mind, our powerful MNDALA 2 Sound Design Engine allows you to shape these instruments into anything you can imagine. Transform a beautiful quena flute into a speaker-rattling industrial drone. Warp our harmonically rich treble gamba strings into an otherworldly ambient pad. This is your sonic playground.

To get you started, our team of sound designers has created a bank of over 89 expertly crafted presets. Utilising the full power of our 3-axis RTPCs (Real-Time Parameter Controls), our interactive animated Perform View interface allows you to easily explore these complex presets. Simply map your favourite MIDI controller to the XYZ performance macros and follow this inspiring collection of dynamic sounds wherever they take you.
