What it is

Transmutation is a 101-preset sound collection for Applied Acoustics Systems' Chromaphone 3, designed by sound designer Michel Basque. The pack spans 16 categories - mallets, bells, leads, pads, plucks, guitars, strings, textures, brass, and more. It blends acoustic instrument realism with surreal, hybrid sonic character: crystalline mallets, futuristic neo-classical keys, exotic hybrid strings, filmic guitars, and gritty mutant pads.

Who it's for

Producers working in cinematic, neo-classical, ambient, and experimental genres who want organic, emotionally charged presets that go beyond stock Chromaphone sounds. Also useful for soundtrack composers and anyone needing textural depth or unusual hybrid instruments.
