Patch library and virtual instrument makers Soundsdivine step into Ridley Scott’s sci-fi dystopia with their new Blade Runner-inspired soundpack for U-he Diva titled ‘Director’s Cut’. Featuring 128 sounds based on the iconic synth soundtrack by Vangelis, this bank aims to capture the epic scope of the sounds from that movie and features haunting leads, dystopian soundscapes, ethereal pads, FM bells, stacked choral pads, overdriven synth sequences and arpeggiated pad sounds.
Applications include enchanting pets with ponderous underscores while reciting Rutger Hauer’s famously improvised ‘Tears in Rain’ monologue — that’s certainly how this News Editor will be spending the weekend — or giving your productions a healthy dose of ‘80s synth nostalgia. At only €23.95 (intro price, normally €29) it’s a pretty appealing prospect for U-he Diva users. Discounts are available to anyone who has purchased the ‘Introspective’ or ‘Art Of Sound’ soundsets.
