Phoenix
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 runs inside your choice of two free engines — Mirage or Floe (beta) — which allow you to process the sounds in three separate audio layers, with envelopes, LFOs, filters, and a complete 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 organized into five categories: basses, keys, leads, pads and sound effects.
Smooth synth strings and choirs
The core sounds of this library are six synthetic strings and choirs instruments. These sounds are useful even before processing. Ethereal choirs and lush string pads can be made instantly. However, the three-layer structure of the engine allows you to take these sounds even further. Complementary sounds can be layered together and modulated with LFOs and filters, and reverbs can be applied. Using these features, it is easy to create rich textures and soundscapes with movement. But this is by no means the extent of Phoenix's capabilities.
80 Presets
Keys and bass sounds can also be produced. In the included presets you will find many examples of these types of sounds such as low rumbles, plucky staccatos and clean subs. Phoenix also works excellently when layered with real instruments. The smoothness of the sounds of this product jell superbly with them, enhancing their richness and width.

Powered by Floe or Mirage
Phoenix runs inside your choice of two free sample library platforms: Floe (our new beta platform) or Mirage (our established platform).
Mirage’s capabilities include:
- 3-layer architecture: blend multiple sounds
- ADSR envelopes, filters, LFOs
- Rack of effects: reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, more
- CPU-efficient
- Preset browser
Floe is our successor to Mirage. It's still in beta. It offers all of Mirage's capabilities plus:
- VST3 and CLAP plugin formats (in addition to AU)
- One-click library installation
- Combine sounds from different libraries
- Enhanced browsing with tags and filters
- Increased voice count (256 vs 32)
- Open-source and actively developed
Both platforms are completely free with no login, hassle, or license keys required. No additional paid software needed — purchasing Phoenix and installing your chosen engine is all that's required.
Crossgrade from Phoenix: Kontakt
If you purchased/redeemed Phoenix: Kontakt before 11/28/2024, you can get 50% off this product. See our Crossgrades page for how to do this.
The Mirage version of Phoenix maintains the original Kontakt samples, with improved tuning on one instrument and optimized sample lengths. Both engines offer similar capabilities, but the Mirage version may provide a faster sound design workflow and an easier-to-use interface that matches other FrozenPlain products. Mirage will see continued development and improvements. Additionally, the new version includes 80 new presets.
