THE PLATFORM

INFINITUM brings a completely new and immersive experience to sample discovery.

Each session spent within it is an enthralling, exploratory journey where every sound can be altered, tested and reimagined, before being chosen as a download.

It’s been designed so that you are put into a creative mindset and environment, while engaging with a towering library of sounds. It’s less about rapidly clicking through sample folders and more about really stopping to consider the sound you are hearing. It’s a process distinctly separated from DAW production, and we think you’ll love it.

INFINITUM is a hybrid platform powered by state of the art software and hardware – featuring advanced audio processing & AI regeneration tools. At its core is our enormous library of samples from over 60 of the very best sound designers in Drum & Bass.

 

 

THE ENGINE

The apex feature of INFINITUM is its highly developed spectral morphing engine. Featuring two expertly created modes COVALENT and KINETIC, each of which has their own best use cases. Combining advanced DSP programming and AI augmentation, samples can be blended or ‘morphed into one another for truly incredible results.

 

Another way to experiment with the engine is to blend sound categories together in the MANIFOLD for more complex and textural results. For example: mix some midrange into a bass sample; or blend some foley textures into percussion loops; or merge a kick transient into an FX stab. This is an experimental  process so by nature not every spin yields that killer sound, but make no mistake, one is just around the corner…

 

We crunched the numbers and based on the sheer size of the library there are around 6 million different A-B morph combinations to explore. That’s before you add in manifold blends, additional processing, spectral, AI and after FX. It soon becomes clear the options for creating customised samples becomes virtually mathematically infinite.

When all things are considered, the versatility of INFINITUM coupled with the gargantuan library sum together to give a sample discovery & design platform that is less like a tool and more like an experience.

More like the future.

 

MODULAR RACK

Because we know a fundamental aspect of Drum & Bass is the way samples are processed, a considerable amount of development time was spent on the processing tools. There had to be options, but at the same time creativity is often born from limitation, so we kept the selection defined. We have new modules in the works and this is an area of the platform we’re really excited about.

It’s modular, so the signal chain can be switched around just by dragging the units. This can often give drastically different stylistic results, but can also be useful for rebalancing a sample. The principle is that you can test sounds out, get ideas and see how they respond to certain FX; and if you really like the results, you can keep the processed version along with the original: giving you more options when you enter the production phase over in your DAW.

• HEAT: Five analogue-modelled distortion & saturations. Including ‘BLEED’ our signature for fat, fizzy textures.
• FILTR8: Versatile multi-mode filter, with analogue drive, LFO and assignable TADS envelope.
• EDGE: Transient Chisel. With adjustable attack & sustain.
• SHIFTR: Advanced repitching w/ Beat & Synth mode. Optional drone mode to create stunning atmospheres.
• STYLUS: Introduce subtle to pronounced drifting pitch effect and randomised noise texture.
• SPACE: HQ Convolution Unit with 11 high definition IRs, ranging from spatial to experimental.
• WIDTH: Clean sounding simple Stereo widener / reducer / checker with adjustable crossover.

SPECTRAL EDITING

 

One of the most fun and creative aspects to INFINITUM is its inbuilt spectral editing toolset. Samples can be edited, subtly refined or totally mangled, in ways not easily reached by ordinary means.

Spectral editing makes you quite literally see sound from a new perspective, encouraging you to think in new and imaginative ways. It’s one of the aspects of INFINITUM we are most excited about and will be adding a whole host of tools and options here in the near future.

For example, you can carve sweeping organic filter effects into reeses, pads and leads using the SUBTLE KNIFE tool (below)

Or get more clinical with LASER. Burning out specific harmonic areas, or write rapid modulations with precise, geometric and experimental shapes (below). This is especially useful on sounds that are highly harmonically defined.

Other creative spectral tools included are: BLACK HOLE, where you can draw large orbital expanses that suck in harmonic content to create unusual distortion and atonal outcomes. HARMONIK is designed to pull out harmonics in areas you want them stronger REDUCER does the opposite.

We deliberately left out an EQ from INFINITUM as we don’t see it having a place here, but these spectral tools are perhaps the creative compromise.

AI SUITE

INFINITUM features a range of truly mind blowing Artificial Intelligence tools.

Developing the platform it quickly became clear that the unexpected paths INFINITUM’S AI component can take you on is pure inspiration. You can discover a library sound, pitch it, saturate, modulate it then see what the AI can make of it: ending in an entirely different place to where you started. With such a signifiant stochastic component to the model, not every generation is the perfect sample; but with the right sound & right prompts, when you hit it it’s pure magic – a brand new sound that has literally entered reality before your very eyes.

Firstly, we have REIMAGINE. Using a customised LLM, sounds can be completely altered using your own written descriptions. Some of the ones we have been loving during development have been ‘Make this sound orchestral’ |’Make this sound more sci-fi’ | ‘More Horror Movie’ | ‘Make harmonically clearer’ | ‘ Turn into an 80’s Nintendo Sound’ | ‘Make this more musical’

Or try REMODEL for more subtle variations of an existing sound; to add more options to your project

And then there is THE GENIE. A tool to generate whatever your imagination can think of, or your project needs. This is especially useful for find more experimental percussion sounds, unique sound FX and also when trying to give a track a certain memorable identity. When you are filling up a new tray of custom samples for your next tune, Genie is a perfect way to add something unexpected.

INFINITUM is packed with features, some of which not mentioned here yet such as DEUS EX and TORN TIMELINE, two native original FX that can be applied during generation to create extreme glitch and pitch warping.

The UI has an info panel: when a setting or dial is hovered over with the mouse, the window tells you more about it, along with some tips. The panel also has your token balance, as well as, built in pitch detection, frequency visualisation and stereo vectorscope.

Oh.. and INFINITUM also accepts uploads of your own samples… but that’s just one of its secret hatches for you to try and find…
