SoundObjects is the perfect library to complement the arsenal of the modern composer and sound designer, bringing totally new sounds and textures from natural sound sources, with an organic quality truly inspiring.  Selected by a professional composer and percussionist, these sound objects were chosen for their unique sound qualities, versatility and musical capabilities. They include saw blades, plumbing pipes, ceramic tiles, metal sheets and the like. The library will be available in the first quarter of 2010.

CrystalSounds, is composed of two main virtual instruments, the Cristal Baschet and a large variety of Spiegelau glasses. The Cristal Baschet was created in 1952 by the Baschet brothers, artists who specialize in the creation of “sonorous sculptures. It is made of chromatically tuned glass rods linked to a heavy block of metal via metal stems. When rubbed with moistened fingers, these rods produce vibrations, amplified by large sheets of metal. The Spiegelau glasses were sampled in all their various percussive and sustained possibilities.  The library will be available in the first quarter of 2010.

Sonarte is proud to announce that a light version of its SoundObjects Library is available with Ableton Live 8. Ableton and Sonarte have worked closely together to produce this innovative and high quality Library for the creative professional.
