Atmosphere
Atmosphere is an instant mood machine — a minimal yet powerful tool designed to flood your compositions with evolving textures and tonal haze. With layered pianos, ebowed instruments, and a ghostly pad built from deeply processed recordings, it’s perfect for moody scoring, ambient work, and emotional undercurrents.
Built around a simple dual-panel interface, Atmosphere gives you direct control over the character and shape of each layer. The main panel offers intuitive mixing and global FX — Colour, Width, Time, and Intensity — while the second panel dives deeper, giving you tailored control over the Ebow Piano, Ebow Guitar, and the Pad.
The Layers are looped to create constantly shifting textures, enhanced by pitch-shifting, reversing, and creative processing. The built-in Auto randomization system on both panels provides instant inspiration — whether you're writing to picture or shaping your next piece.
PIANO – Two layered pianos: one dry, one captured through reverb returns for a distant, washed-out feel
EBOW PIANO – Soft, sustained tonal beds with adjustable envelope and EQ shaping
EBOW GUITAR – Textural layers with amp-style tone and drive controls
PAD – A blended, reversed, and pitch-shifted wash derived from all core sounds with EQ shaping
Minimal interface. Maximum atmosphere.
