REQ: Spitfire Audio - BT Phobos
Hey Audioz Fam,
I've been searching high and low for this unique Synth! I have only been able to find reviews of it which causes a higher desire. It currently runs for $299 USD which seems rather ridiculous. Would appreciate a share or atleast a demo version of it...
Info:
BT Phobos
Polyconvolution Synthesizer
Phobos is a must-have synthesizer for composers writing epic, cinematic electronic and hybrid compositions. Conceived by renowned composer and electronic music pioneer BT (The Fast and The Furious, Monster, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), we’ve together developed a powerful new device to add a unique timbral expansion to your compositions by unlocking the liquid, morphing and transforming capabilities of convolution. With an asset base featuring over 20GB of unique hand built BT rhythms, pulses, textures and atmospheres, and a revolutionary polyconvolver engine, you can quickly and easily create molecular loops, patterns and textures to energise your music and hold your audience at the edge of their seats.
What is Phobos?
One of Mars’ moons? A synthesizer? A tool for creating massive cinematic and electronic rhythms? An engine for endless spectral combinations of wide, lush pads and ambiences with propulsive rhythmic figures? Is it a sound library of bespoke percussion, beats, micro rhythms, field recordings, live acoustic and orchestral treatments, textures and a massive vintage synthesizer collection? That is just scratching the surface.
At its core, Phobos is a synthesizer based on the unexplored precept of polyconvolution as a synthesis engine. BT came up with this idea many years ago doing sound design. What does that mean exactly? Polyconvolution as a synthesizer? Well, it means instead of using convolution for reverb or modeling an amplifier's distortion circuit, why not make a “reverb” impulse response tonal?
Combining something rhythmic with something tonal (as an impulse response) yielded some of the most modern, liquid and percolating ambiences and textures BT had ever heard. These are the kinds of sounds he has been searching for whilst scoring; those elusive sounds where the director asks for “movement and a feeling of drive, yet subtly”. That’s not to say that Phobos only excels at subtlety - it can sound massive, driving and aggressive, like an army of monsters in its scope and power.
Features
Revolutionary polyconvolution synthesizer, across 3 separate convolvers
Contains more than 2000 unique sounds, created by BT, that can be used both as a source or as an impulse response
Over 650 presets showcasing the possibilities of Phobos
Plugin that loads directly into any DAW that supports VST / VST3 / AU / AAX.
IRs in Convolvers are polyphonic, track pitch played and render in realtime
Loops as sound source / or as IR track host tempo
MPE Compatible (for use with multidimensional controllers such as ROLI Rise or Roger Linn Linnstrument)
Dedicated Gate Stages and Filters on each sounds source / convolver unit
All controllers mappable to controller and / or multiple LFOs
