Welcome to FRICTION world. FRICTION applies the Sound Dust aesthetic to U-He's amazing analogue softsynth DIVA and brings you 170 presets that look for beauty and cinematic atmosphere in filth and wrongness.
Huge weeping pads, elastic beatsync noise, murky weathered leads, deviant one finger atmospherics, organic heartbreak keyboards, West coast style uber modulations, glowering low end throbbing and earworming sound effects are all in the mix.
FRICTION embraces the limitations and grist of the classic synths that DIVA emulates so well and melds them into something new and impossible, and impossibly lovely.
Every patch has warping transformations assigned to mod-wheel and after-touch for dynamic expressive control. All patches pre tagged for DIVA and Komplete Kontrol
