SOUND DESIGN ENGINE
Innovative Category-based Sound Architecture
Candyfloss is based on a combination of three sound categories: BODY, GRANULAR and TEXTURE. Each category has a particular function.
All the sounds in CANDYFLOSS are based on a set of mostly acoustic instruments and gear, including:
Glockenspiel
Prayer Bowl
Hammered Piano
Irish Low Flute
Ebow Guitars
Yamaha 4-track cassette tape
Plucked Semi-acoustic bass
Hammered Acoustic Guitar
Steel String Ukulele
For the GRANULAR and TEXTURE categories the organic source sounds were processed using a selection of state of the art granular processing, including Native Instruments' Form, GRM Tools, PaulXStretch, Arturia Pigments, Soundtoys Crystallizer, as well as Steinberg Padshop.
