Sonic Ingredients
Elements is a continually evolving palette of raw audio samples and wavetables crafted for sound designers. Use these building blocks in your DAW or wavetable synth to create rich textures, morphing pads, and unique sonic landscapes. All audio is delivered dry—no reverb, no delay—so you can shape your own spatial effects.

WTBL | Wavetables (actual wavetable data) |
Subcategories
- SIMP: Simple (minimal movement)
- STAT: Static (little/no motion)
- ANIM: Animated (organic/repetitive movement)
- DIRT: Dirty (slight saturation)
- DIST: Distorted (heavy distortion)
- CMPX: Complex (rich movement & modulation)
