Checking Out: Toska by Noon Instruments
Toska is a collection of processed synth sounds from sound sources such as strings, brass, woodwinds, vocals, and field recordings. It’s very moody and evocative and the presets are a treat to explore.
Toska normally sells for £89 from Noon Instruments
Thoughts
I was really impressed with the sounds from this library. They were very dark and moody, atmospheric and inspiring. Most of the sounds are very long, evolving soundscapes, though you do have ADSR controls to shape the sounds into anything from pads and keys to leads and basses, though it really shines with pure ambience and soundscape-esque material. It’ll be great for those scores inspired by Blade Runner, Stranger Things, etc. It stands out from other libraries with the sheer depth and size of the sounds, and the variety of included effects and controls allow you to have a clean sound, or something more raw and distorted. I would say these fit best with modern synth scores that focus on heavy, dark topics. None of these sounds felt very light hearted and uplifting, instead they were hauntingly dark and beautiful, but never veering into stereotypical “horror” sounds, just very dark and wet.
