Finished my first pack for Surge XT synth, and must I say I’m incredibly impressed with this synth’s capabilities. Tried to employ them at depth.

Earlier today I’ve cooked up a 16-minutes long ambient demo featuring some of the sounds. No other synths, no external effects except for a featureless limiter on the master bus (for safety purposes only).

My current keyboard lacks aftertouch of any kind, but instead I have a foot controller. For some patches I’ve enabled Channel AT, and for each one – Filter Cutoff (CC74), Filter Resonance (CC71), ModWheel and Foot Controller (CC04).

This means, among other things, that all patches require MPE mode on for using standard MIDI controls. Besides, it is necessary to assign by hand MIDI CC 71 and CC 04 (or any other unreserved control) to Macro 1 and 3, respectively.

The soundpack features:

• 64 patches
  ** basses: 2 items
  ** FX: 3 items
  ** Leads: 8 items
  ** Pads: 9 items
  ** Polysynths: 11 items
  ** Textures: 31 items
• 36 custom wavetables

(Created using AUDIOTERM software by Matthias Gurk).

All patches are presented as separate FXP files, the default format for Surge XT on Microsoft Windows.

To install them simply unzip the contents of bss_lumphr_p.zip to Surge user patches folder. By default it is
\Documents\Surge XT\Patches.

Drop the contents of bss_lumphr_wt.zip to \Documents\Surge XT\Wavetables folder to use them separately.

LUMINOPHORE pack is offered free of charge, as is, under SURGE XT default CC0 license.
