The Cube Control
The cube control is the heart of Haunted Spaces. It is a 4-point vector controller that allows you to create complex movements between four different waveforms of your choosing, or add your own samples. You can drag the cube around with your mouse, or use the X and Y sliders to adjust the position. You can also animate the cube and sync it to your DAW tempo, creating dynamic and evolving soundscapes.
Each of the four waveforms can have independent filter, envelope, pitch and LFO settings, giving you a lot of flexibility and control over the sound. You can also mute or solo each waveform, or use the mix slider to blend them together.
The Wave Browser
Haunted Spaces features a huge library of over 400 presets, created by a team of incredible sound designers. The core sample library contains 128 original field recordings by Chris Watson, a renowned sound recordist who has captured the acoustic DNA of ancient temples, ice lagoons, cold war bases, abandoned silver mines and other haunted places. You can also find hundreds of custom synth, acoustic and percussion waveforms to blend with the ambiences.
The wave browser lets you easily navigate the sample library and audition the sounds in your patch. You can filter by category, such as Chris Watson recordings, synth waves, percussion, choirs etc., or use the search function to find what you are looking for. You can also drag and drop your own samples into the wave slots and use them with the cube control.
The Jammer
The jammer is a generative arpeggiator that lets you create rhythmic patterns and melodies with Haunted Spaces. You can hold a chord and let it evolve, or loop a section and jam between 12 sequences. You can also adjust the speed, gate, swing, octave and scale of the arpeggiator, as well as randomize the settings for some surprising results.
The jammer also features a MIDI recorder that lets you capture your performance and drag and drop it into your DAW. This is a great way to create musical ideas with Haunted Spaces and use them in your projects.
