Step into the world of Vessels, a groundbreaking sound collection that redefines the boundaries of synthesis. This expansive library merges cutting-edge analog and digital synthesis with experimental re-amping techniques, offering a raw, powerful sound palette that adds colour, dimension, and physicality to every note.

Crafted in the renowned Holy Mountain studios in Hackney, Vessels isn’t just a sound library; it’s a journey through sonic materiality and object resonance. The meticulously captured recordings push the limits of traditional synthesis, transforming standard tones into rich, multi-layered textures. With 460 unique patches and over 11,000 samples, Vessels is a powerful tool for musicians, sound designers, and producers.

Preset Banks: Convergent, Divergent & Relics 💥

Convergent – 220 Sound-Designed Presets 🌪️ The Convergent Bank explores the depths of material resonance, capturing the elemental sounds of oil drums, thunder sheets, and more. Using surface transducers and specialized equipment like the Lom Geofón, each preset is infused with unique tonal variance and spatial depth. The result? An experimental fusion of harmonic disturbances and pure sonic energy. 🌌

Divergent – 220 Presets with Traditional Re-Amping 🎸 The Divergent Bank delves into more conventional re-amping techniques. By sending synth samples through powerful 180-watt cabinets and combining mic feeds from Sanken CU-41s and SM-57s, the Divergent presets bring out detailed, vibrant textures. The Korg MS-20 External Signal Processor adds further complexity, overdriving signals for raw, destructive results. 🚀

Relics – 20 Presets of Warmth & Nostalgia 🎧 The Relics Bank takes you back in time with vintage warmth. The source material is re-recorded onto 1/4″ tape and cassette, then processed through boutique effects pedals, creating saturated, gritty textures. The imperfections and organic warmth of the recordings give each sound a human touch, perfectly preserving the patina of the analog process. 🔥
