Kromium brings a new edge to stringed instruments, transforming cellos, violins, and more into sounds that are rich, haunting, and atmospheric. By pushing traditional strings to their limits, Kromium creates eerie, stretched tones and hollow, percussive plucks, delivering a soundscape that captivates and unsettles. From resonant whispers to intense scrapes, each texture is uniquely crafted, adding tension and depth that is perfect for cinematic scoring, dark ambient music, and experimental sound design.
At the heart of Kromium is Soundbox, a fully customisable MPE-compatible sampler that brings advanced features to enhance creative expression. Designed for flexibility, Soundbox allows users to create their own virtual instruments from scratch, offering everything needed to manipulate sounds to fit any project. With Soundbox, users access a platform that’s both powerful and adaptable, giving composers and producers a robust foundation for building highly personalised soundscapes.
Soundbox streamlines the creative process with its user-friendly sound browsing, categorising sounds by genre and style to help users quickly find the textures they need. The mapping editor provides powerful control, allowing multiple velocity layers and customisable groupings, making it easy to fine-tune sounds and manage every element of your composition. This seamless navigation ensures artists stay focused on creativity without interruption.
With Kromium and Soundbox, customisation reaches a new level. Thanks to MPE and multi-touch capabilities, users can tailor and shape their instruments with ease, adding intricate modulation effects, employing a Vector engine, and using extensive customisation options. Ideal for those looking to share their creations or explore new musical possibilities, Soundbox allows users to export instruments for future use or collaboration, helping them to craft dynamic, responsive sound experiences.
