Opacity II is powered by a diverse collection of hyper-detailed acoustic and synthetic samples. You will find:
The magic happens when you blend these. A clean grand piano might sit in Slot A, while Slot B plays a loop of a broken harpsichord, and Slot C emits radio static. The result is a sound that feels both nostalgic and futuristic—as if you are listening to a memory that is decaying in real time.
When you load Opacity II, you are greeted by a sleek, dark interface that prioritizes visual feedback over skeuomorphic clutter. The engine is divided into four main layers (A, B, C, D). Each layer can hold one sample loop, and each layer has its own independent modulation, filter, envelope, and sequencer. Audiomodern Opacity II -KONTAKT-
Four advanced LFOs (sine, triangle, saw, random, step, multi‑breakpoint) with rate up to 500 Hz – into audio range. Assign them to grain size, pan, spray, or even LFO shape itself. Audio‑rate modulation transforms the granular engine into a waveshaping / ring‑mod style texture machine, bridging granular synthesis and destructive FM.
Audiomodern Opacity II is a cinematic sample library and virtual instrument designed for composers, sound designers, and producers who need modern, evolving textures, pads, and hybrid atmospheres. Packaged for Kontakt (Native Instruments Kontakt Player / Kontakt full version), Opacity II focuses on layered, tempo-aware cinematic content with deep modulation, rhythmic motion, and performance-ready presets. Opacity II is powered by a diverse collection
Tempo‑sync’ed probability‑based grain start offsets. Instead of random spray, grains can snap to a selectable rhythmic grid (1/4, 1/8T, 1/16, etc.) with jitter amount and humanize controls. Great for turning ambient pads into pulsing, glitch‑textured beds or rhythmic drones that still feel organic.
Opacity II isn't all soft and pretty. The glitch folder chops loops into tiny pieces and rearranges them via the Shuffle mode. "Broken Transistor" sounds like a malfunctioning droid, providing excellent rhythmic interest without using a kick or snare. The magic happens when you blend these
When you drag a long audio file (field recording, vocal phrase, pad) into the engine, Opacity II scans for silent/gap sections, extracts them, and maps them as “breath” grains. You can then crossfade between active sound and harvested silence/room tone to create natural fades, spatial pauses, or ghostly dropouts.
Send each granular voice (or layer) to any of 8 internal effect slots (multi‑mode filter, shimmer reverb, diffusion delay, bit crush, resonator, etc.) via a drag‑and‑drop matrix. You can route different grain streams through different effects without duplication of the whole engine.
