Crystal Pads

We're a collective of composers, producer, ad creators here at Crow Hill. For us tools should work with you, be shapeable around your project's needs. The musical progression and the subject matter you're underscoring. Crystal Pads represents a new attitude towards controlling sound to fit your music. Not forcing you to fit your music around your sounds. 48 (16 x 3) Specially curated pads multi-layered into independently controllable stems designed to come alive as you perform and compose with them. With Crystal Pads we have created a truly magical world-building palette of sounds that embrace the power of sample synthesis. By using purely organic sources each layer contains a harmonic complexity which you will find easier to mix into tracks containing other acoustic instruments. With cinematic and wide-screen application these pads have been specially designed for the performer or composer to tweak, create movement and magical stand-out moments in realtime without having to modulate your composition. Three stems or partials as we call them provide 1. Glassy Fundamental root tones then add harmonic complexity with 2. The Harmonic partial adding greater complexity and richness to your mnusic before adding in all sorts of glassy surprises with the 3. The Unexpected .Long looping sonics that feature "moments" and enable your composition to come alive unexpectedly without it ever feeling like you're compositional flow is being dictated by the tools that you're using. With all three partials being easy to operate either from the GUI or via assignable MIDI controls. In addition to this a Snowflake "climax" button can instantly enhance the 4 effects macros all of which have been specially curated by our team of professional working composers alongside a keychain pumper that squeezes and almost gates the pad signals as part of the performance.
