Sick 7: Voices of the Dead with 8753 unique sounds is a real monster! This final volume of our horror and suspense series combines everything with a whole new set of creature and human voices, eerie industrial percussion, and a fresh supply of atmospheric horror and anxiety sound design elements.
This huge collection features 6 unique creatures and 5 classic human NPCs (“non-playable characters”) voiced in soundbanks organized into 38 event categories, each with a wide range of alternative RRs and style variations to choose from. It has everything you need, including screaming, choking, falling, hitting, growling, breathing, jumping, laughing, and more. Sounds are ideal for use in horror and action movies, movies, advertisements and animation.
The percussion features 27 deep, resonant metal articulations, from rusty clanging of anchors and steel gongs to squeaking hinges and loud door slams. We are masters of “epic” sound, but sometimes you want something that just floats in the air with warmth and resonance. To do this, you need to get up close and record softer dynamics to bring out the complex sustain key. We wanted to convey that tense, intimate and ominous feeling in this industrial percussion ensemble, so we worked with bare hands and boots on site in various abandoned bunkers and recorded right at the point of impact to fully immerse ourselves in the atmosphere and deeper vibrations as they pass through the inner depths of these abandoned and decaying relics of past wars.
To create atmospheric and tonal instrumental content, we decided to play a little and get weird. We’ve put together a huge assortment of creatures to create the “Choir Of The Dead” refrain and 13 different chromatic creature whistles / screams. You will also find various cacophonies of people and creatures, as well as soundscapes recorded in the bunkers. These elements are ideal for game and animation soundtracks, commercials, and other fun and / or weird situations that busy media composers, sound engineers and re-recording mixers tend to encounter frequently. Most importantly, all samples are fully available as 24 bit 48 kHz WAV files for use in any software or hardware environment you desire.
The Kontakt interface includes a set of ready-to-automate sound shaping controls for complete creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, decay, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse and fine), articulation switching, crossfading, layering, and more. We’ve also included 20 unique special effects sound presets that will give you tons of creative options.
This library comes with an adaptable LFO system with selectable LFO shape, modulation target, rate, intensity, tempo sync, and decay time. You can also apply your choice of 12 low-pass, high-pass and effect filters with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, mod wheel, expression, post-tap, key position and step sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and controls for direction, timing, swing, randomization and arpeggio duration. We have included a key and scale lock system to restrict your notes to common scales and keys for easier melodic composition and live performance.
The interface is complemented by our modular FX rack panel with 18 different DSP effect modules that you can assign to any of the 10 available slots in any order. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cabinet simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator, and more. The Reverb Effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, as well as 40 more customizable FX impulses to radically transform sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibilities. We’ve added a great bank of factory presets for the FX chain to get started!
