Tenebrae-LE is the free light edition of Tenebrae, the first instrument in MNTRA's Artist Series, made with LA-based artist Joseph Holiday (SNAKES OF RUSSIA). It runs in MNTRA's MNDALA 2 engine.

The artist picked 11 sound sources and designed 21 of the presets (the page lists 30+ presets in all). The sounds are modular and analog synths, bowed instruments and gritty percussion, processed through outboard gear and tape: leads, basses, pads, keys, a bowed mini waterphone and percussion, with up to 13 round robins.

Two effects model the artist's signal chains: BESTIAE (filters, drive and compression, in parallel or series) and DIRTY BUCKETS (bucket-brigade-delay reverbs). In this free version they are used by the included presets but cannot be added to new user presets.

Recorded at 24-bit, up to 96 kHz. 3.5 GB installed, 7 GB recommended for setup.

Free, with your own licence key from Sonisto.
