The Sound Board

After being announced in 2008, 14 years later it is finally released.

FORBIDDEN PLANET features over 600 expertly crafted morphing synths across categories such as Arpeggiator, Bass, Drones, FX, Leads, Pads, and Poly Synth. Freely morph between electronic layers, acoustic instruments, and futuristic sounds - perfect for soundtracks, EDM, hip hop and more. Featuring a brand-new suite of post-processing and mixing tools, insane filter modulation, and an extensive rack of effects, you now have the ability to break away from everything that has come before with new controls, powered by the critically-acclaimed OPUS engine, that offer unprecedented sonic shaping power with presets completely customizable by the user.

I won a 12-month CC subscription a while back and was waiting for this to drop before activating it.

I know I'm Mr Cynical, but seriously - can anyone watch this trailer without bursting out laughing?



That shot at 1'34...

EDIT, I'll behave after this, I promise. I know why that shot is a trigger for me, it's from a British sketch show called The Fast Show. One of the most celebrated sequences is Jazz Club, and presenter Louis Balfour's looks to camera - especially at the end - are uncannily similar.



PS - the names of the jazz players are always great for Brits. Theydon Bois, here on guitar, is in fact a small town in Essex near the M25 motorway.

Yeah the trailer is more than a bit kitsch, the Blade Runner font got me.

It will be interesting to have a deep dive in to it. I'll download it on the day of release and then play with it the next night.

Anyone tried it yet?

Got it myself now and love it. Pretty amazing sounds, very cinematic.

About 15 years too late.

I like the sounds - I just don't know if I would ever need them.
