Introducing ARCTICA: Your Free Virtual Instrument for Evocative Soundscapes
Unleash the power of ARCTICA, a completely free virtual instrument brimming with evocative soundscapes!
A Versatile Sound Palette
ARCTICA is a versatile instrument offering a vast collection of synthesizers and pad sounds. Perfect for crafting everything from harsh and epic polysynth effects to chilling ambient atmospheres and ethereal drones, ARCTICA builds upon the architecture of our popular “DEEP BLUE” library, adding advanced features for even greater sonic flexibility.
Intuitive Workflow
Familiar with DEEP BLUE? ARCTICA uses the same intuitive workflow, allowing you to build harmonic structures by controlling bass (Layer A) and pad (Layer B) separately on a split keyboard. This simple yet powerful design lets you create complex sounds with ease. Real-time control over low/high pass filters for each layer and adjustable glide add further depth and expressiveness.
Extensive Sound Selection

- Textures and Drones: 35
- Moves: 35
