The sounds are crafted using both hardware and software synthesis, meticulously sampled to preserve their authentic character.
Meticulous Sound Design
The core of Creased Atmospheric Tokyo is built from sounds generated by classic and modern synthesizers:
- Hardware Synths: Deepmind 12 and Korg Opsix, known for their rich analog and FM tones.
- Software Plugins: Arturia Pigments and The Legend HZ, providing vibrant, evolving textures.
- Sampling Process: All sounds recorded at 24-bit, 48kHz using SampleRobot 6, ensuring high-quality audio with carefully managed loop points.
- Atmospheric Layers: Field recordings from Tokyo, processed in Ableton Live to enhance the binaural effect, immersing the listener in the bustling city ambiance.
Visual Design and User Experience
Inspired by the NI Play Series, the instrument’s GUI is both aesthetic and functional. The interface was designed using Adobe Photoshop, with animated rain effects created in Adobe After Effects to reflect the moody, rainy nights typical of Tokyo’s streets. The result is a visually engaging experience that complements the atmospheric sound palette.
