62 Oscillators In A Three-Layer Engine

Slow can be used to create ambient and cinematic pads with a serene crisp, crystalline modern edge. Each of the 63 ‘oscillators’ that make up Slow were carefully created from synthesisers, granulisers and organic sources. You’ll find subdued ambient tones, but also sounds with lush high frequencies, feedback qualities and rich overtones.

These 63 samples are organised into two categories: Tonal and Textures. The Tonal category is the main one and consists of pleasant single-note instruments with occasional dissonant or multi-note instruments. The Textures category features various noise texture sounds that are designed to layer with the tonal sounds to create soundscapes.

100 Presets

Slow features 100 production-ready presets categorised into six folders: Basses, FX, Keys, Noise Textures, Pads and Pulsers – with Pads being the most significant. Each preset is a playable instrument that can be easily tweaked to fit your track or used as-is.

As suggested by the category names, Slow is capable of a bit more than just ambient pads – it can be used to fill out the low end or add haunting textural elements and tonal accompaniment.

Inspired By Ambient Music Pioneers

Slow is inspired by the sound design of ambient music pioneers such as Tim Hecker, Boards of Canada, Stars Of The Lid, Oneohtrix Point Never, Mark Pritchard, and Benoit Pioulard.

These artists each explored a different avenue of ambient music; however, a common thread of breathless multitimbral sound design can be found, often more complex with overtones than the ambient music of Brian Eno.

FrozenPlain have tried to capture elements of these sounds and create a useful tool for a wide range of ambient and cinematic music.

Designed For Sound Layering

Mirage allows for up to three different sounds to be controlled separately and layered together. The layers in Mirage have the following controls unique to them: pitch, volume and pan, filter, volume envelope, LFO, EQ, sample loop settings and MIDI settings. These controls facilitate an incredible amount of manipulation over the original sound source.

Designed To Be Played

Mirage is set up to make fully playable patches. Sounds will respond to both MIDI velocity and the sustain pedal (MIDI CC 64). On top of that, any parameter in Mirage can be controlled by knobs or sliders on your physical MIDI controller.

This is done by simply right-clicking the parameter, selecting ‘MIDI learn’ and then moving your controller. And of course, Mirage can be automated with your DAW.

Minimum Friction From Your Mind To Your DAW

Mirage is designed to not get in your way. It is fast to load up and is efficient with CPU usage. It has a vector-based GUI that can be resized so that it will work on any size screen. The controls are laid out intuitively, and a full description each control can be viewed by hovering the mouse over it.

In the rare case when you need some deeper info, a PDF manual with all of the nitty-gritty details covered is included.

Explore New Sounds Spontaneously

For spontaneous inspiration, Mirage features controls for randomly loading presets and changing parameters. The random preset button has 4 modes for scoping the randomisation to your preferred level, whether that be a folder, a library or the given search text.

Parameters can be randomised at various levels too: complete randomisation, just instruments or just the effects rack.

Use Presets Or Design Utterly Unique Patches

Mirage is simple on the surface, but has depth for complex sound design when you need it. Initially you might start with exploring the ready-to-use factory presets using the presets browser. But from there you can further layer, mangle and modulate the sound to be the perfect fit for your track; Mirage is a powerful tool for creating utterly unique organic instruments.

A Rack Of Built-In Effects

Built-in effects such as distortion, bit-crush, chorus and stereo widener can be used to enhance the sound with extra harmonics or extra simulated width. The compressor can be used to control dynamics or add punch, and the filter can be used to isolate just the frequencies you need.

Mirage also has reverb and delay effects for real space simulation. These are great for sound design too. One of the reverb effects is a convolution reverb; this is typically used to add a real-sounding reverberation to the signal by using a sample of a real space (AKA an impulse response).

Mirage features both realistic impulse responses and abstract ones for creative sound design.

  • "Slow is charming and comes packed with swell presets to get you started straight out of the box, and it’s affordable, which makes it even more attractive. While it’s no Omnisphere, nothing really is truth be told, and this handy product deserves a solid place in any self-respecting cinematic composer’s arsenal, right alongside Omnisphere and your other favorites libraries."
