Ambient Minimalism 2: The Dark Side

Big Fish Audio and Funk/Soul Productions are proud to bring you Ambient Minimalism 2: The Dark Side; the darker counterpart to the beautiful virtual instrument, Ambient Minimalism.

Ambient Minimalism 2 is a loop and sample-based virtual instrument that can be used to quickly and easily create mysterious and unsettling ambient soundscapes, backing tracks, and cinematic cues.

Each instrument patch in Ambient Minimalism 2 contains dozens of loops and one-shots, giving you a wide variety of musical elements and motifs to work with. All instrument patches were recorded in the same key, or designed to work with other dissonant material, so you can mix and match any patches and easily achieve highly musical results.

This library features eleven multi-sampled instrument patches including all sorts of dark and creepy pianos, Upright bass, Wurlitzer, detuned glass, ominous horns, and others.

Additionally, a set of twelve key-switches (coloured red) can be used to change the key of any patch or musical element (loop, pad, etc), allowing you to play in any key and create chord progressions or modulations with the touch of a finger.

There are forty-four patches included and hundreds of loops, samples, and one-shots covering a wide range of sounds. The patches are organized into four separate categories: Tonal, Experimental, Melodic, and Rhythmic. In total there is nearly 6GB of uncompressed WAV data. Lastly, Big Fish Audio created thirty-six multi patches for you to discover interesting and haunting sound combinations.

Whether you’re a professional composer or producer on a tight deadline, or a beginner with little or no musical training, you’ll find that Ambient Minimalism 2 is a fast and easy way to create great-sounding ambient tracks for your productions.
