Void & Vista (Kontakt)
Both Frames and Folds are Kontakt 7 instruments. They share an identical interface architecture with 8 performance controls (Dynamic, Filter, Motion, Ensemble, LOFI, Character, Space, Morph), a 2-layer sound engine, and a parallel 3-stage Character FX chain. Mod Wheel (CC1) is mapped to performance controls in all factory snapshots.
16GB — 40 sound sources across 5 categories: Instruments, Objects, Effected, Textures & Waves. Unique Zone Shift pitch mode for timbral manipulation without changing fundamental pitch. Kontakt 7.10 or higher required. Cubase: Sampler folder. Favorite presets: "Heavy Hearted" (Rain Piano + Sine), "Critter".LIVE PAGE
4.5GB — 32 sound sources across 3 categories: Real (vocalists Lola Murz, KARI, Peter Lyons), Effects (processed vocals), Waves (synth utilities). Expressive cinematic vocal and electronic textures. Kontakt 7.7 or higher required. Cubase: Sampler folder. Primary use: vocal sources complementing Frames for TALISMAN.LIVE PAGE
Korg
Software recreation of the Korg M1 Music Workstation. PCM-based synthesis with the original factory and expansion card wavesets. Foundational to late-1980s and early 1990s pop, electronic, and ambient production.ACTIVE
Software recreation of the Korg PS-3300 — one of the rarest and most powerful semi-modular synthesizers ever made (1977). Three fully independent PS-3100 synthesizers in one chassis, each with its own filter, VCA, and modulation. The PS-3300 is Doug's hardware grail instrument. 48-voice polyphony, resonator banks, full patch flexibility.ACTIVE
UVI
Sample-based recreation of the Voyetra Eight — an extraordinarily rare polyphonic synthesizer from the early 1980s. The Voyetra Eight is Doug's second hardware grail instrument. Multi-sampled at multiple velocity layers and articulations. Rich, complex polyphonic analog textures unavailable in any hardware form outside of the instrument itself.ACTIVE
