Fraxinus is an ambient virtual instrument for Audiomodern Soundbox, created for musicians, producers and sound designers looking for atmospheric, cinematic and evolving sounds. It combines ambient pads, drones, abstract textures and experimental noises into a collection designed for ambient music, film scoring, electronic production and sound design.
Rather than focusing on conventional acoustic instruments, Fraxinus explores layered, spacious and constantly moving sounds. The library ranges from soft atmospheric pads and evolving textures to darker drones, abstract soundscapes and unusual sonic details. It can work both as a source of playable instruments and as a starting point for further sound experimentation.
80 Instruments and 100 Presets
Fraxinus contains a large collection of source material and ready-to-play sounds:
- 1652 samples
- 80 instruments
- 100 premade presets
The instruments are built from carefully selected and processed samples, using layering, modulation and movement to create rich, evolving timbres.
The included presets are designed to be immediately usable in a musical context while still providing room for experimentation. They cover ambient pads, cinematic drones, atmospheric textures, abstract noises and evolving soundscapes.
Ambient Virtual Instrument for Music, Film Scoring and Sound Design
Fraxinus works particularly well when you need sounds that create space, depth and atmosphere rather than dominate an arrangement.
Use it for ambient and experimental music, cinematic scores, atmospheric electronic music, game audio, underscoring, intros, transitions or background textures.
Its combination of pads, drones and evolving textures also makes Fraxinus a useful cinematic virtual instrument for composers looking for sounds that can sit underneath dialogue, build tension or add subtle movement to a scene.
Because the sounds range from subtle and organic to abstract and processed, the library can also serve as a source for further sound design and creative resampling.
