Ominous Cold
'Cold' sounds from a freezer ice tray
ByClay LaHatte
The story
When getting some ice from the ice bucket in my freezer I dropped some ice on the wire shelf. It made an interesting ring, so I had to try and see what kinds of sound I could coax from it by sampling it.
I only sampled hitting the tray. Then I put the samples into Kontakt to work with them, and applied ample effects to process the sound, then re-sampled every note via 88 key keyboard with the effects for use in the final Kontakt files. Funny enough, coming from the freezer, it resulted in a collection of ‘cold’ sounds.
It’s fair I suppose for some haunting type stuff, but it’s rather thick in the frequency spectrum, so eq accordingly.

Perfect name
This Library was named perfectly. You have a good idea of the use of this sound before opening it. Its so haunting, icy and beautiful. Some patches definitely have a dissonant and ominous sound while others can be used as more basic pads. Ill get a-lot of use out of this library. I even really like the ping sounds, they have a-lot of character. Theres several awesome presets to choose from. Amazing instrument
Versatile and unique, very nice ambient pad
Very very nice, I really like this patch! Dark, ambient, soft and spooky. It is very versatile and useful for many occasions!
Cold!
So much Atmos!
