Review: Fielding SoundWorks â FSW-01 Massive Cyberscapes

If you are looking for a soundset that can transport you to a futuristic world of cyberpunk and sci-fi, you might want to check out Fielding SoundWorks â FSW-01 Massive Cyberscapes. This is a collection of 150 presets for Native Instruments' Massive synthesizer, designed by Adam Fielding, a composer and sound designer who has worked on various video games and film projects.

The presets in this soundset are divided into six categories: Atmospheres, Basses, FX, Leads, Pads, and Sequences. Each category offers a variety of sounds that can fit different moods and genres, from dark and dystopian to bright and hopeful. The sounds are rich in detail and modulation, using Massive's powerful features such as wavetables, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and effects. The presets also have useful macro mappings that allow you to tweak and customize the sounds to your liking.

Some of the highlights of this soundset are:

The Atmospheres are deep and immersive, creating a sense of space and ambience. They can be used as backgrounds or drones for your tracks.

The Basses are punchy and powerful, ranging from distorted and aggressive to smooth and subby. They can add weight and energy to your grooves.

The FX are creative and diverse, including noises, sweeps, glitches, impacts, and more. They can spice up your transitions and add some sonic interest.

The Leads are expressive and melodic, suitable for catchy hooks and solos. They can be bright and airy or dark and gritty.

The Pads are lush and warm, filling up the sonic spectrum with harmonies and textures. They can create a sense of emotion and atmosphere.

The Sequences are rhythmic and dynamic, featuring arpeggios, plucks, pulses, and more. They can add movement and drive to your tracks.

The soundset is inspired by modern and classic cyberpunk/sci-fi media, such as Blade Runner, Ghost In The Shell, Deus Ex, Mac Quayle, Clint Mansell, JÃhann JÃhannsson, Cliff Martinez, etc. The sounds have a cinematic quality that can enhance your soundtracks or add a polished flair to your music.
