Jeremy Brett, now that was the epitome of Sherlock Holmes. I like it when you get an actor that you just think the part/character was made for them.

The Secret to Advanced Sequencing in Omnisphere

Adrian Earnshaw Music @earnshawmusic.bsky.social · 8d

Ever used envelopes in Omnisphere as a second sequencer? 🤯
This trick lets you run TWO sequences on one part — and most producers have no idea it exists.

I mentioned in my Diva Gemini walkthrough video that there was a small folder of Diva percussion sounds I made for my demo tracks.

I've now added it to the Free page on my website.

Absolutely, it really winds me up that they don’t knock. I did catch one driver and he said, well I wasn’t sure if the doorbell worked. How about try pressing the button ………

Adrian Earnshaw has taken a look at my new Diva synth soundset in his latest video.

Why not have a watch?

It features 100% less me... which could be seen as a bonus! :D

Last few days to grab Dreamstate at the intro price! A swag of synth/dream/chillwave patches by @killstarr.bsky.social and myself.

Oblivion Sound Lab @oblivionsoundlab.bsky.social · Aug 28

New Diva soundset! This one is a first for Oblivion Sound Lab: a collaboration! I teamed up with fellow Melbourne producer Killstarr, and we each designed 60 patches broadly in a dreamwave and chillwave style. oblivionsoundlab.com/product/drea...

Cover art for Dreamstate, a soundset for the software synthesizer Diva. The cover illustration is in a retro, vaguely '80s-meets-art-deco style. A recumbent female head emerges from a grid like plane, like a mountain range. She gazes up at a sphere suspended in a starry night sky, possibly a planet. Text read: Dreamstate. Diva Soundset. Killstarr. Oblivion Sound Lab.

Yeah, that’s not helpful. I’ve got the Tron Ares film pencilled in for the beginning of October. The score doesn’t sound bad at all.

Adrian Earnshaw just did an in-depth playthrough of Dreamstate (my Diva soundset with @oblivionsoundlab.bsky.social).

He goes through a bunch of the presets and even wraps up with an amazing demo track using only Dreamstate sounds. It really shows what the pack can do!

There’s been a few decisions already where it looks like defenders need to have their arms removed to avoid giving a penalty.
