Intriguing Instruments – Mirage Library Bundle

$95.00

Unique sampled-instruments bundle for Mirage

Expand your sonic palette with this collection of creative instruments. Featuring unique multi-sampled instruments and sound design, this collection of products will allow you to set yourself apart from the cliches.

All of these products work inside our sample-based-synth Mirage, which is a VST/AU plugin that is included for free. This single control-hub is used to load any of the libraries. It has a 3-layer structure to allow for easy sound-blending, as well as all of the features you’d expect from a modern synth: envelopes, filters, loop settings, EQ and a rack of effects. Each product in this bundle also comes with a set of production-ready presets. Mirage has a unified browser that allows for easy loading of any preset from any Mirage library, as well as inspiring randomisation options.

We’ve selected this set of products for their complementary nature and put them into a bundle for your convenience. There is no bundle discount. Alternatively, you can add any products that you like to your cart individually.

Terracotta: Mirage

Terracotta pots: a tonal-percussion instrument

Organic, alive and earthy - Terracotta is an utterly unique melodic-percussion instrument made from terracotta pots. This instrument's charming bell-like tones are ideal for adding a tangible vibrancy to percussion sections, arpeggios and melodic lines. It's powered by our sampled-based-synthesis engine VST/AU, Mirage, which is included for free. This flexible engine has a 3-layer structure for blending sounds as well as all the features you'd expect from a modern synth, such as filters, envelopes and effects.

25 different pots were sampled to make this instrument featuring 4 round robin and 4 velocity layers. As well as this, Terracotta comes with a handful of 'mixer' instruments designed to be blended with the main sound. This product also comes with 40 presets for instant production-ready results.

Cinematic Synth based on Smooth Synth Strings and Choirs

Bring new lush atmospheric dimensions to your productions with Phoenix, an instrument based on a set of smooth synthetic strings and choir samples. It's perfect for creating wide strings backdrops and ethereal choirs instantly. Phoenix is powered by our sample-based-synthesis engine VST/AU, Mirage (included free). This flexible engine allows you to process the 'oscillators' in three separate audio layers, with envelopes, LFOs, filters, and a whole rack of effects.

The result is a sound design tool perfect for creating cinematic pads, keys and basses, and for easy underscoring. Examples of such sounds are included in the 80 production-ready presets that come with the product. These are organised into five categories: basses, keys, leads, pads and sound effects.

Designed for sound layering

Mirage allows for up to three different sounds to be controlled separately and layered together. The layers in Mirage have the following controls unique to them: pitch, volume and pan, filter, volume envelope, LFO, EQ, sample loop settings and MIDI settings. These controls facilitate an incredible amount of manipulation over the original sound source.

Designed to be played

Mirage enables you to turn samples into fully playable patches. The volume at both the layer level and the master level can be controlled with MIDI velocity. Sustain pedal (MIDI CC 64) is also fully supported, enabling you to hold notes using a foot pedal.

On top of that, any parameter in Mirage can be controlled by knobs or sliders on your physical MIDI controller. This is done by simply right-clicking the parameter, selecting ‘MIDI learn’ and then moving your controller. And of course, Mirage can also be automated by your DAW.

Minimum friction from your mind to your DAW

Mirage is designed to not get in your way. It is fast to load up and is CPU efficient. It has a vector-based GUI that can be resized so that it will work on any size screen. The controls are laid out intuitively, and a full description of what each control does can be viewed by hovering the mouse over it for a moment. Mirage also comes with a PDF user manual with all of the nitty-gritty details covered.

Useful Randomisation

For spontaneous inspiration, Mirage features controls for useful randomisation. The first randomisation feature is a multi-mode button that loads a random preset. It can be set to work in one of three ways. Firstly, it can load any random preset at all – even of different libraries. Secondly, it can load a random preset that is of the same library that you currently have loaded. Or thirdly, it can load a random preset in the current preset folder (the folder might contain all bass presets for example).

The next randomisation feature is two buttons that load a random instrument for one or all of the 3 layers. This is excellent for quickly trialling a new sound source but keeping Mirage’s other parameters unchanged.

Use presets or create your own sounds

Mirage helps you with finding the right sound quickly. In a recent free update, Mirage received a built-in preset browser. This is a panel that can be opened up via a button at the top of the interface. All the presets are arranged in a clear list which can be navigated with the arrows keys on your keyboard as well as your mouse.

A rack of built-in Effects

Built-in effects such as distortion, bit-crush, chorus and stereo widener can be used to enhance the sound with extra harmonics or extra simulated width. The compressor can be used to control dynamics or add punch, and the filter can be used to isolate just the frequencies you need.

Mirage also has reverb and delay effects for real space simulation. These are great for sound design too. One of the reverb effects is a convolution reverb; this is typically used to add a real-sounding reverberation to the signal by using a sample of a real space (AKA an impulse response). Mirage features both realistic impulse responses and abstract ones for creative sound design.

Access to free updates

By purchasing this product, or any powered-by-Mirage product, you gain access to updates with new features and improvements. These will almost always be completely free. We will ensure these updates never break backwards compatibility. This means as the capability of Mirage expands, your old DAW projects or presets will still work just like they used to.

If you already have Mirage, you can visit this page to download the latest version. It’s worth noting that Mirage has no use unless you have a Mirage library; in the current version, these can only be made with our internal tools.

Requirements

Intriguing Instruments is designed to be as accessible as possible to producers, composers, musicians, and sound designers. You probably already have what you need if you are producing audio on a reasonably modern computer. There is one exception – Intriguing Instruments is not available in the AAX plugin format yet, and so will not run in Pro Tools. Here are the specific requirements:

  • Windows: a computer running Windows 7 or higher. Mirage is available as a 32-bit and a 64-bit plugin. However, the installer needs a 64-bit machine. Virtually all Windows machines are 64-bit.
  • Mac: macOS 10.12 or higher. Both Intel chips and M1 chips are supported (universal binary).
  • A host that can play either a VST2 plugin or an AudioUnit v2 (AU) plugin. Examples of such hosts are Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, Reaper, Reason, FL Studio, Logic X, Garage Band, and many more. Logic 9 or older does not support AudioUnit v2 and so this product will not work in it.
