Core Sound Synthesis: Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas

The sonic backbone of this collection is the Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas, a

highly acclaimed digital module celebrated for its aggressive, metallic, and complex

sound generation capabilities. Known for its unique voice architecture, which

combines a variable number of oscillators with a powerful wavefolder and a

characterful drive section, the Manis Iteritas offers an expansive palette of timbres

from gritty basses to searing leads and intricate percussive elements. Linear Phase

has expertly harnessed the module's extensive parameters, exploring its deep

synthesis potential to create sounds that are both distinct and highly adaptable within

the techno framework. The Iteritas's capacity for creating evolving, almost living

textures makes it an ideal source for the dynamic and immersive qualities central to

hypnotic techno.Analog Processing Chain: Sculpting the Tones

To elevate the inherent character of the Manis Iteritas and imbue these samples with

unparalleled analog warmth and depth, each sound was routed through a

sophisticated and highly curated external processing chain. This meticulous approach

ensures that every loop in the collection possesses a rich harmonic content and a

tactile quality that digital-only synthesis often struggles to replicate.

The initial stage of the processing involved a series of interconnected modular effects,

each contributing a distinct sonic signature:

●

Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas (Source): The fundamental sound generation.

●

Sinc Bucina: A versatile decay envelope and vactrol low-pass gate, used to

shape the transients and add a natural, organic decay to the sounds, enhancing

their percussive impact and rhythmic definition.

●

Purar Ruina: A sophisticated distortion and wavefolder module, employed to

introduce rich harmonic saturation, controlled aggression, and intricate sonic

complexities. This module was instrumental in achieving the desired level of "raw"

character in the samples.

●

Xaoc Devices Sarajewo: A multi-tap delay module with intricate modulation

capabilities, utilized to create evolving rhythmic echoes, lush spatial textures, and

add a sense of depth and movement to the loops, crucial for hypnotic elements.Post-Processing: Mastering-Grade Analog Refinement

Following the modular processing, the signals underwent a rigorous post-production

phase utilizing premium analog outboard gear, a crucial step in achieving the

polished, professional sound characteristic of Linear Phase's work. This stage focused

on enhancing clarity, adding cohesive sonic glue, and imparting the final analog

sheen.

The post-processing chain includes:

●

Neve 8816 Summing Mixer: Used to sum and blend the individual sonic

elements, imparting the legendary Neve warmth and spaciousness, adding a

subtle yet profound sense of depth and coherence.

●

Thermionic Culture Vulture: A renowned valve distortion and harmonic

enhancer, employed to introduce rich, complex harmonics and a subtle, musical

saturation that brings sounds to life, adding density and character without

sacrificing clarity.

3 This was particularly effective in adding a "glowing" quality to

the leads and a gritty edge to the percussion.

●

API 2500 Stereo Bus Compressor: A classic VCA compressor known for its

punch, aggressiveness, and ability to glue a mix.

4 The API 2500 was used to add

dynamic control, enhance transients, and provide a cohesive rhythmic drive,

ensuring the loops sit perfectly in a techno arrangement.

●

Elysia Karacter: A versatile creative stereo distortion unit offering a wide range

of saturation and distortion flavors.

5 This unit was used selectively to add specific

types of aggression, grit, or subtle harmonic excitement, allowing for fine-tuning

of the "raw" aesthetic.

●

XFilter (A-Design Audio): A high-quality stereo analog filter, utilized for precise

frequency sculpting, adding subtle tonal shaping, and enhancing the overall

clarity and impact of the processed sounds.Content Breakdown: 200 Loops Across Essential Categories

The Fading Shapes Manis Iteritas Analog Loops pack is meticulously organized into

four essential categories, each containing 40/80 unique 16-bar loops, providing

producers with a comprehensive toolkit for constructing full-bodied techno tracks:

●

Bass Loops (40 Loops): Driving and subterranean basslines, ranging from

sub-heavy pulses to complex, evolving textures, all imbued with the characteristic

grit and analog warmth of the Manis Iteritas. These loops form the rhythmic and

harmonic backbone of your tracks.

●

Percussion Loops (40 Loops): Intricate and dynamic rhythmic elements,

including twisted percussive sequences, metallic hits, and evolving textures that

add depth, groove, and unique sonic character to your drum programming. The

Manis Iteritas excels in creating non-traditional percussive sounds.

●

Synths (80 Loops): Hypnotic and commanding melodic and textural leads,

designed to cut through a mix and create memorable motifs. These loops range

from sharp, piercing tones to atmospheric, evolving textures, showcasing the

Manis Iteritas's versatility in generating expressive sonic lines.

●

FX (40 Loops): A diverse collection of atmospheric textures, drones, risers, and

abstract sound effects. These elements are invaluable for transitions, building

tension, adding spatial depth, and injecting unique sonic signatures into your

productions, pushing the boundaries of traditional techno sound design.
