Product Overview

A ghostwriter is a composer who writes music that will be officially credited to another person. The concept of ghostwriting goes back centuries: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a well-known composer paid to ghostwrite music for wealthy patrons. These days the sound design aspect of composing music has become as important as the notes, chords & rhythms, particularly in the creation of film, game & television soundtracks.

While Ghostwriter won't write the music for you, it has been designed to be a "ghost" collaborator in the compositional process, an invaluable inspirational tool for creating your music.

Produced by STEVEN WILSON & DOUG ROGERS Includes over 800 Multi-Sampled Instruments & Presets (60 GB) Includes Basses, Drums, Guitars, Keyboards, Misc & Vocals Designed for Music, Film, Games & TV Composers Includes many "live" presets that can be adjusted by the user in the software Musicians: Steven Wilson, Marco Minnemann & Laurence Juber Recorded in the world famous EASTWEST studios

One of the most eclectic & prolific artists in rock music, Steven Wilson has been writing, recording & producing music continuously since the early nineties. Album releases touring as leader of his band Porcupine Tree & more recently as a solo artist, saw him gain a reputation for his songwriting, experimentation & sonic excellence, resulting in many invitations to work with other artists.

Among many things, he has produced several albums for Grammy Award-winning Swedish metal band Opeth & he sung on UK drum & bass band Pendulum's UK number one album "Immersion". He started a solo career in 2009 & his most recent solo album "The Raven that Refused to Sing" was recorded at EASTWEST Studios with legendary recording engineer Alan Parsons at the helm. Wilson has become known for his 5.1 surround sound mixes, starting with his own projects, but more recently for remixing the catalogues of King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Roxy Music, XTC & Yes, among others. His surround sound mixes have been Grammy nominated on four occasions & he has twice won "Album of the Year" at the Surround Music Awards. Wilson is seen by many as the predominant progressive rock musician in the world today & in 2012 he won "Guiding Light" at the "Progressive Music Awards" 2012, following this in 2013 with another win for best album for "The Raven that Refused to Sing".

All you need to do is open Ghostwriter and acquaint yourself with this massive library of carefully crafted sounds and then you can easily take it from there.

TWIST, LAYER, DEFORM

The broad range of post-processing effects built into this instrument give you ample opportunity to shape each sound to your liking. Ghostwriter gives you an excellent starting point, but you’ll also have access to an incredible suite of Mixer Effects in OPUS you need to turn every sound into something that’s instantly recognizable as your own.

Even if you prefer designing your own sounds for every project, Ghostwriter presents a wealth of opportunities for creative layering, deforming, and inspiration to keep you on track while you build them. Once you’re done mangling, you’ll have a result that’s distinctly different from the sample you started with.

CONTENTS

GUITARS
Looking to create dark, atmospheric, ethereal effects that no synth or pedal can reproduce? Ghostwriter’s extensive collection of 576 guitars offers enough recordings and effect chains to liquify, crystallize, and decimate any sound you can think of. Choose from Dirty, EBow, LoFi li and more, and begin mangling and stretching to your heart’s content.

BASSES
Large, distorted and edgy, you’ll find Ghostwriter’s 120 basses are everything you need to bring that punchy low end to any track. These instruments provide an excellent reason to dive into the Mixer Effects in OPUS and push this collection's dirt to the limit.

DRUMS
Distorted, mic’d, re-amplified, and compressed into oblivion, the 65 drums of Ghostwriter defy any semblance of a conventional kit. You can make them pump, groan, and scream should you choose, or even sit in the background and gently move things along.

KEYS
The perfect way to create an ambient bed to build your music on. You’ll discover countless ways to warp, stretch, and elongate these 59 keyboards into infinity and design an entirely new realm in the process.

VOCALS
Going far beyond the traditional choir sound, these 23 vocal instruments are subtle and easy to morph into slowly moving pad textures. When you need an ethereal base to construct your chords and want to be sure they have a soft and organic tone, you’ll find they consistently give you the tools to get the job done.

MISC
Featuring 33 morphing clusters, pads, and bells, this section contains the sounds that are either too cool or bizarre to categorize. Take a listen to see what other sonic worlds are available to you.
