Get FREE Seraphim For Kontakt (WINNERS ANNOUNCED)

FluidShell Design and Loot Audio kindly offer Seraphim, Stigmata, and Subliminal Keys for FREE to one lucky BPB reader (two more readers will receive Seraphim).

But before we move on to the giveaway, let’s take a closer look at the new Seraphim virtual instrument by FluidShell Design.

There is something to be said about the melding of organic and electronic elements for instruments. It is that hint of the familiar mixed with more synthetic timbres that can really get those creative juices rolling!

Seraphim is a Kontakt library that aims to take a new approach to creating sounds. This is done through the use of reverberating spring tanks and a series of filters to shape the sound.

Make no mistake, Seraphim has a character all of its own and might be the crucial element to your next production – it is a nuanced and expressive instrument. If you play gently and lightly, you can coax out airy and delicate performances. Slamming down on the keys lets an element of force pervade through the timbre.

Seraphim offers a different approach to sound design. It’s an instrument for Kontakt (requires full version) with a strong electro-acoustic essence. 

The reverberation tank and filters alone would make you think Seraphim has a somewhat metallic and sharp quality about it. Instead, with some clever sound design, you can make it sound almost like a woodwind of sorts.

To make the most of Seraphim’s sound engine, the instrument can be played lightly, favoring fine, airy tones, or, on the contrary, it can be played more forcefully, allowing for sharp, massive nuances.

The wavetables are constantly changing as well, lending an evolving character to even more sedate sounds.

The flute-ish sounds have a certain degree of warmth I’m not sure I’ve heard with most physical modeling synths. It does call to mind synths like Plasmonic or Chromaphone, which take a similar approach to sound creation. It is always a joy to get something like this, in my humble opinion.

Beyond just the character of the sound, each of the instrument’s four oscillators comes with a bevy of creative features. You’ll find each individual oscillator has pulse width modulation and individual LFOs. This can create interesting textures and changes the character of a resulting sound quite a bit.

Seraphim is a unique instrument that fuses together the synthetic and acoustic, and for one lucky reader, they’ll be able to get it for free.

Seraphim is available for Kontakt, which is available for Windows and Mac computers. Supported plugin formats are VST3, AU, and AAX. It is a universal binary, so no matter which side of the Silicon divide you’re on, you’re good.

    Strange Attractor Synthesis like Kult and Generate has peaked my interest of late for random and amazing sounds.

    I have no idea! I’m a guitarist – whenever I need some synth I frantically reach for something in my vsti folder. I use the NI stuff (from komplete 14) regularly. I love the Lounge Lizard from AAS. I guess that hardly can be called a synth :D

      Any synth that allows you to create original ear candy never heard before. Analog and granular for hands on in the moment live feeling. Virtual software for post production and performance perfecting

    My favourite type of synthesizer is a FREE synthesiser. That’s the correct answer, surely? 😆

    Wavetable Based Synths with Sequencers & Arpeggiators (Serum, Vital) with expansion capabilities. Samplers/Romplers that support Multis (really really love CUBE by Lunacy Audio)

    Still subtractive based synths, but also some additive, wavetable and spectral ones, be it soft- or hardware. Serum, Sylenth, Massive, Avenger, all U-He synths, Moog Subphatty, Roland System 8, Access Ti Virus, Oberheim, Spire, Pigments, etc.

    My favorite is Physical Modeling Synthesis, as found in my Korg Oasys PCI, or Yamaha PLGVL150. I guess I’m mostly a fan of Yamaha/Sondius VL-VP tech.

    Wavetable / Granular.

    I also dip into old Roland emulations occasionally.

    Arturia is great too. Hope to own their bundle one day.

    I like multi-engine synths where you can mix and match different methods in weird ways. Love the Seraphim demo!

    Synths like Serum and semi-modular synths from Arturia are pretty neat, i just really like electro music in general lol

    Right now,
    Physical Acoustic Modeling Synths,
    But additive and wave table are a close second.
    Thank you for giveaway!
