Dark textures – deep tones. Native Instruments Ashlight is a virtual instrument for creating cinematic textures. Native Instruments is releasing a virtual instrument called Ashlight, which was developed in collaboration with Frank Elting and the Amsterdam sound design agency The Solos for Predator, Glass, Mad Max: Fury Road, Creed, Target One, Game of Thrones and others. The plugin is designed to create cinematic textures and offers many settings for a unique sound.

At the heart of Native Instruments Ashlight is a granular sound engine with a variety of sound sources including carbon bows, metal containers, waterphone, feedback loops, cymbals, synthesizers and field recordings. Users can also upload their own samples to the engine. The program provides a set of many ready-made presets, as well as additional processing effects (filters, equalizer, delay, reverb, etc.). To control the sound, the plug-in has pitch / tone controls, an XY modulation matrix, an impulse response section, intensity and time modulators, a dedicated granularity module, gain options, and many other settings.

Each sound layer of the Ashlight preset in use can be processed independently. It is possible to use program effects in the form of assignable macros, and any parameter supports assignment to MIDI keyboards for live control.
Immerse yourself in an underground world of immersive atmospheres, pulsating bass textures and catchy keyboards. Explore complex Voices in a truly unique sample library designed specifically for the distinctive ASHLIGHT engine.

ASHLIGHT concludes the granular trilogy with monochrome soundscapes, pulsating textures, intricate solos and cold atmospheres. It combines a specially recorded sample library with grain and sample playback modules in a powerful engine with intuitive modulation controls for varying intensities, from sonic build-ups to introspective keyboards and wall-shaking sound.

Bow friction on metal, carbon, ceramics, glass and more – ASHLIGHT is the product of an obsessive exploration of unconventional sound sources that can be explored, transformed and blasted to epic proportions. Sources of multi-layered grain, including waterphones, cymbals, feedback loops and synthesizers, are included in over 360 sample kits in the ASHLIGHT library. Through an extensive sound design process, the features of each sound source have been researched and 300 presets have been created.
