Sample Fuel Cycle CRE8 HALion Instrument (Download)

Cycle-CRE8 is a sample based synth engine that houses 4 different sample layers with over 675 different sample sources each. The engine cycles through each layer in order in tempo with the host/DAW. When the cycling is disabled, this instrument is capable to create thick and powerful 4 layer pads. The factory library includes over 450 professionally curate program presets.

Cycle Cre8 runs in the FREE Halion Sonic SE, which is a sampler from Steinberg (the makers of Cubase, etc.)

The library consists of a unique Cycle engine, which creates rhythmic pulses and soundscapes by cycling through up to four separate sound sources. As I was playing around with Cycle Cre8, it reminded me quite a bit of some other libraries for Kontakt, Orbit and Eclipse, which each cost $199.99, so it’s a great deal and a great library for writing cinematic underscore and ambient electronic beats.

There are a bunch of presets included, but you can also go into each sound source and swap it out for another, which means the sonic possibilities are huge. It lent itself well for writing a trippy, atmospheric beat which I used for the demo video, and I tried to show how some of the controls work and what you can expect from this library as well.
