Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As a member of Vi-Control since 2014, today marks a very special occasion for me.
I’m happy to announce the official launch of our new creative venture CodeUltra Sounds: Your source for innovative tools of the trade. I hope you find our products inspiring, rewarding and perpetually useful.
Introducing ARKEON: SERUM for the Media Composer, like you’ve never heard it before.
Project ARKEON is the most complete Media Composer’s toolkit ever created for xfer’s SERUM, Steve Duda’s amazing wavetable synth.
SERUM is highly regarded for its pristine sound and versatility, with loads untapped potential IMHO. Although many of us in this community will agree: those cool factory sounds are aimed elsewhere.
So, If you have ever felt that SERUM needs another voicing, to better serve your needs as a Film/TV and Media Composer, then ARKEON is tailor made for you.
ARKEON contains +200 master crafted programs, offering a rich variety of sonic inspirations, with a new level of deep programming and customizability.
We have all your favorite types of sounds covered, sometimes in unique and surprisingly useful combinations.
- PADs
- SEQs
- ARPs
- KEYs
- ORCH (Strings, Hits, BRASS)
- BASS and BLs
- CHOIRs
- LOOPs
- PERC
- FX, Hits and SUBs
And for the first time: ARKEON unleashes the full power of xfer's SERUM-FX Plugin, by including a selection of 20 highly customizable AUX send programs, which can generate endless permutations of your source sounds. You can use them as MIDI controlled effect sends on your favorite Kontakt loops. We will show you how, and include session files for you to use.
Together ARKEON's +200 programs cover a plethora of sonic duties, across a wide range of mediums and styles including:
- Film/TV
- Games and Interactive
- Trailers and Commercials
- Innovative takes on mainstream Musical styles from Pop to EDM
As you will see on the video demonstrations, every single ARKEON program potentially generates hundreds of unique sounds, through velocity, MOD or simple tweaks of its Macros.
The Sound of ARKEON:
Now, let me show you how ARKEON pushes SERUM far beyond that stereotypical image of a Dubstep/EDM synth. (Which it does very, very well BTW!)
:emoji_headphones: Please use your Headphones or studio Monitors
DEMO 1: Evolving FX Programs - Drum Titans
This is a demonstration of ARKEON’s Evolving FX SEND programs, using just one instance: Drum Titans. We will apply it through the SERUM FX plugin, to transform one of the most acclaimed percussion products in the industry.
Aside from the Kontakt percussion loop from our colleagues at Heavyocity, all the sounds you hear in this video are coming straight out of ARKEON! We simply applied some minor EQ and Compression. This includes our Audio Logo, the Intro and Outro sounds. We will feature them in future videos.
UPDATE: AUG 9th - Today let’s explore some of ARKEON’s exotic sounds.
DEMO 2: Complex Scene Programs - Aquamarine - Live scoring a short video with ARKEON.
Scenes or SCNs are designed to serve your entire spectrum of sonic needs, when you have thematically compatible material, giving you both melodic and SFX components.
In this demonstration, I’m using SCN Aquamarine, in my first attempt to score a Summer themed video montage.
Everything you hear in this video is:
- Coming from a single SERUM instance running SCN Aquamarine
- Played Live, in my first take…please excuse my performance. (。-_-。)
- Has no external FX processing added, just EQ, Compression and Limiting (Normalized to -14db LUFS)
Throughout the video, you’ll notice how I use Velocity and MOD wheel to control the rich variety of sounds this program can produce. I also change octaves to call on different timbres like Electric Piano, Guitar, BASS or even a sound that evokes seafaring birds.
UPDATE: AUG 27th - Today let’s explore the RAW ARKEON sound.
DEMO 3: Complex Scene Programs - Prismapolis - The RAW ARKEON Sound.
In this video, you can hear the first of our RAW ARKEON demonstrations.
This is the RAW unaffected sound coming straight from SERUM. To experience the full sound of this immersive patch, download the uncompressed audio from here:
With SCN programs you can:
- Use Macros to mix their sounds, or mute some of them like the SFX.
- Control the velocity on your piano roll to extract a precisely desired nuance.
- Split the sound over multiple instances with complementing MIDI data. (Lead, Bass, SFX, PAD)
This essentially allows you to cover your scene’s entire audio spectrum with a single SCN program, as seen in the video.
UPDATE: AUG 29th - Today let’s try out a Keys Patch.
DEMO 4: Plutonium Rains - The RAW ARKEON Sound Part 2: Complex KEYs
In this video we demonstrate the RAW Sound of our Plutonium Rains immersive Keys + SFX Patch. Everything you hear comes straight out of SERUM, without any processing or effects. You can't miss the vast amount of nuance and variety one can get out of these patches. We based the track on commercially available MIDI data to give users a reference point. This also shows how the patch can react to a live performance played on a Graded Hammer Action Keyboard.
And here's the AIFF file: Arkeon Plutonium Rains RAW Audio
UPDATE: Sep 4th - Today let’s try out a Guitars Patch.
UPDATE: Sep 4th - Today let’s try out a Guitars Patch.
DEMO 5: Kitarino - Celestial Ambient Guitars and PADs
In this video we demo the RAW Sound of Kitarino, an immersive Ambient Guitar and PADs Patch. As usual, everything you hear comes straight out of SERUM, without any processing or effects. MOD wheel and Macros tag along with velocity to give you dozens of timbres. There's also an organic pluck layer that reacts to your performance.
Demo 6 is Coming Soon: Orchestral Patches (Strings, Brass, Orchestral Hits and more!)
Mix and Master with ease:
ARKEON's sounds are balanced to a healthy gain level on the K14-K12 scales. This allows you to mix and master them professionally, without wrestling through clipping patches or obscenely loud noises.
Most of the toolkit's programs have been extensively tested with the most popular mixing tools, making sure there are no prohibitive issues during use.
