Rust Vol. 1 is an eclectic collection of metal impact and tuned percussion recorded in a variety of natural environments. This first volume focuses on classic small objects and found sounds. You’ll find metal racks, paint cans, soda cans, magnetic balls, steel pipes, brass hardware, a musical saw and odd bits of furniture, along with large structures like mine shaft gates, steel tunnels, towering stairways and massive structural I-Beams.
They’ve incorporated a full range of user controls to allow you total sonic control, as well as a custom set of sound-designed ambient textures and sustains. Their powerful Uberpeggiator allows complex, adaptive arpeggiations and you’ll find tempo-syncing resonant filter and volume LFOs build into nearly every preset. They’ve also included a parametric EQ and convolution reverb with over 50 room and FX impulses to choose from instantly. The Megamixer preset lets you dynamically layer and blend up to 10 instruments at a time, each with custom range and tuning to create your own ensembles, drum kits and acoustic blends. The UI also features tons of custom convolution reverb impulses of a wide variety of halls, rooms and special effects.
