Westgate Sounds - Anomaly XII - Choirs of the Dead

Anomaly XII features 60 all new sounds created from the DNR Collaborative Developers Pack and other sources. It is a mixture of single sampled and multi sampled sounds. There are 28 Atmospheres and 32 sounds in the Choirs of the Dead for a total of 60 sounds as .sfz and .wav files at 251 Mb.

Anomaly XII started out as another Atmospheric soundset until I came across the Abstract Vocal samples in the DNR Collaborative Dev Pack. Choirs of the Dead came about as I experimented with those samples. Many of the sounds were made using 2 instances of the Anomaly VSTi, each instance using the 2 Wavseq slots and two seperate FX chains. The original samples were, most of the time, pitch shifted higher and re-sampled. Then they were joined to themselves in an audio editor so they could be looped. Then brought back into the Anomaly VSTi to make the finished sounds.

I hope you enjoy the weirdy, waily goodness I had fun creating.

A special thank you goes out as well to Old Boy for additional sources.

What people are saying:

" Very good sounds there, congrats. :-) I was actually looking for something like this, so you really nailed a sound that didn't exist on the market."

"A really fantstic sound set. Thank you very much!"

"I finally got around to try Anomaly, some dark stuff and brooding moods in there..."

"Ok, having tried out all of the Anomaly sounds, I will say this.......this soundset is f**ckin' great! If you like dark ambient and experimental music, this is a must have....many of these sounds are just dying to be fed through even more effects. If you like making pretty and happy tunes, stay far away from Anomaly. But if you're like me and prefer your music to be creepy and twisted, then by all means get this!!!"

"thanks for this Sf2-set with really amazing waveforms inside!"

"Volumes 1 and 2 are incredible! I'm not sure if you guys are geniuses or madmen but I've never heard sounds like that before. It's as if someone translated the deepest, darkest thoughts of some fear-crazed lunatic and turned them into sound! They would make the perfect soundtrack for a Cthulhu film! H.P Lovecraft would be proud.

Well done guys!

p.s. I was checking out some of the presets and my 13 year-old daughter was begging me to stop. "You're scaring me!"..."

" The last one I tried was Anomaly and it's the reason why I only had 3 hours sleep last night... The sounds in this thing are f**cking unbelievable. I spent hours upon hours listening to the demo's, and thinking of ways I can use the sounds."
