Thrill

A Kontakt Player performance instrument for atmospheres and tone clusters, built from 1,038 orchestral and hybrid sound sources (ambiences, voices, pitched metal, synthesised drones). An X-Y pad crossfades between two sounds and raises their intensity, and a cluster designer builds voicings of up to eight notes.

How to use it in horror

Ride the Y-axis on a trackpad while watching picture to swell a quiet string-and-metal cluster into a dense wall as a character walks down a dark corridor, then drop it to silence on the cut.
