Native Instruments Ashlight Granular Synthesis Instrument
Native Instruments has released Ashlight , the third and final instalment in a trilogy of instruments that explore the depths of granular synthesis .
The instrument was built in collaboration with Frank Elting and Amsterdam sound design agency The Solos , who have a long list of credits on blockbuster films including The Predator , Glass , Mad Max : Fury Road , Creed , Zero Dark Thirty , Game of Thrones , and others . Ashlight turns to the darker and colder side of granular , with harsh textures , muted keys , cinematic atmospheres , and pulsating textures . It follows on from vocal-based Pharlight and Straylight before it . Ashlight expands the series ’ concept with a specially-recorded library of samples ranging from bowed carbon to metal containers , waterphones , feedback cycles , cymbals , synths , and field recordings . Users can also load their own samples into the engine .
As with previous releases , the tone and timbre of the sample content is expanded and explored in minute detail via the instrument ’ s granular engine to reveal ethereal and cinematic sounds that uncover new complexities and sonic textures . The grain layer is matched by a sample layer that includes keys and glock sounds , as well as synth pulses that can be shifted and brought to life using the built-in arpeggiator .
