Spectrasonics
Twisted Trees Sonic Extension $149
If you go down to the woods today, you’ll be surprised to find a sounddesigner not so much hugging trees as hitting and twisting them!
Spectrasonics holds one of the loftiest reputations within the realm of samples, sound design and virtual instruments. It’s behind some of the most radical sampling projects ever captured, from trips to the Amazon, to burning pianos. Its relatively new creative line, Sonic Extensions, provides amazing sounds with vast amounts of realtime control, all categorised by expansion pack.
Following the initial release of four Sonic Extensions, the latest extension arrives completely out of the blue, as a sole release. All of the Sonic Extensions operate from within the Omnisphere realm, so you’ll need that meaty synth to access your new sounds. That could make an initial purchase more involved, but then again Omnisphere is one of the most sonically impressive packages on the market, so this might just be the prompt you need.
