USER MANUAL

Thank you for your interest and support in our products.

Dark Matter is a powerful tool to create outstanding and complex cinematic sound textures.
Each instrument is composed of four layers. Dark Matter features more than 13GB of sample
material using Kontakts lossless sample storage compression (more than 20GB not compressed),
giving you a lot of combinations and sound colors. Use one of the pre-programmed
instruments or use the powerful randomize function to create your own sounds.

layers are available the

volume of all four
layers.

Amp and Pan LFO

Control the amount,
tempo-synched rate (16th)
and the waveform of the
Amp and Pan LFO.

Convolution Reverbs Sends

Modulation Wheel
Depending on what
instrument you load, to the
MW is assigned a Distortion
effect or a High Pass Filter.
Six convolution reverbs, each with a different impulse
response. Dark Matter comes with 50 different
impulse responses and almost each instrument load
a different combination of them.
Click and drag the mouse on each string to adjust the
amount of signal sent to each convolution reverb.
The darker the string the higher the amount of signal
is sent to the convolution reverb.
In order to save CPU resources, the convolution
reverb when the string is in the full white position
(invisible) is bypassed.
