Skrock bundle, IMO something to keep in mind....
Posted: 06 Oct 2019
Hi gang!
I apologize up front for not being able to get as detailed as I want to but I have approx. 10 minutes left and then I really need to get some sleep, but I still wanted to share this with you...
Today I ended up on the Reason shop and skimmed over some "hot deals" (although I wasn't really looking to get anything new) and I came across the previously mentioned Skrock instrument bundle; a chance to grab all of their instruments for E 129,- vs. having to pay an easy E 300,- ( E 39 for Poltergeist, E 29,- for Kraft, E29 for Horizons, E 29 for Aurora and that's only 4 out of the 14 devices you get in total). I mentioned these because I already grew a strong liking to them...
If you ask me (you're not ) then this is a great deal. Most of all it's an honest one because I believe they really try to provide you with a nice variety of sound options vs. giving you only the "l33t stuff". I conclude as much because this bundle also includes the freely available Nautilus bass synth as well as the low priced Orbis wavetable synth (E 9,-).
I've been playing around with these devices for a while now (both in the rack but most of all within Reason 10 rewired into Live, controlled by Push) and I am really excited about all the variety this gives you. I'm already a huge fan of the Kraft synthesizer because it allows you to (relatively) easily create very convincing dynamic sound setups. For a quick idea try the demo and load the 'FX Beeboops' patch. I love that one, esp. while playing it on Push, I can very easily get some rythmic background melody going with this. And that's just a preset...
And just because Iridium is pretty cheap (E 9) doesn't mean it's also giving you cheap sounds. Yes, I can also come up with some other instruments which would allow me some of the sounds this one has to offer (try the Stabby preset sometime) but... these provide some really good sounds nonetheless. IMO that is of course. Sure, Reason's "Electric bass" RE is also very convincing but...
As mentioned I also really enjoy the variety which Skrock provides.
Thanks for reading!
