Krotos Studio Genesis
Krotos Studio is the revolutionary software that simplifies and streamlines the process of working with sound. In November 2023, a free version of Krotos Studio was made available, showcasing the platform's innovative and user-friendly approach to sound creation through a select number of sound categories and presets. Now, Krotos has released the Genesis Sound Pack which introduces four new categories and twenty additional presets to broaden the possibilities of sound creation.
Krotos’ CEO Orfeas Boteas said: “We wanted to revolutionise how people work with sound and put an end to the pain of spending hours searching for the right sound while making the process more fun without worrying about any copyright issues. Krotos Studio unlocks your creativity. Just pick a preset and start performing unique, outstanding, and 100% royalty-free sounds instantly.”
Creating sound with Krotos Studio is a breeze. Simply select a category and preset, perform your desired sounds using your mouse or MIDI controller, and easily drag the resulting audio clip onto your timeline or any desired location on your device. You can drag and drop sounds from Krotos Studio into all video software (such as Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Vegas), audio workstations (such as Pro Tools, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, Reaper, Cakewalk, and Reason), and game engines (such as Unity and Unreal). Krotos Studio works as a standalone software for Mac and Windows, as well as a VST/AU/AAX plugin.
Rick Foley, a Krotos Studio user, said: “I absolutely love it!! The “perform” and "drag and drop" feature is seamless and so greatly simple. I've already begun new projects using the sounds from Krotos Studio.”
The free version of Krotos Studio has received outstanding feedback, with users praising its ease of use and effectiveness. In response to this feedback, Krotos have developed an add-on library which expands the range of sound categories and presets available in the free version of Krotos Studio.
The Genesis Sound Pack is an exciting addition, offering more versatility and creativity for any content creator or sound professional. It features twenty four new presets for use cases that have been widely requested by our current user base. These use cases span eight sound categories including Ambiences, Cinematic, Foley, Footsteps, Whooshes, Weapons, Interfaces, and Vehicle.
With the Genesis sound pack, users can expand the free version of Krotos Studio with more high-quality sound effects for short/long form content, film, TV, and game projects. Unlike traditional sound effect files, these presets are fully performable sound systems that can be adjusted and customised, eliminating the need to search for multiple variations of the same sound – simply use the controls in the software to perform the desired sound.
As the name suggests, the Genesis Sound Pack is the first step in expanding Krotos Studio into a comprehensive platform that will cover every sound category.
It debuts the Weapon, Cinematic, Vehicle, and UI categories inside Krotos Studio, with powerful presets including:
- Cinematic Hits & Risers
- Vehicle Interiors
- Modern User Interface sounds
- Explosions
- 9mm Pistol
Plus, Krotos has added versatile new presets for the categories that are already available, including:
- Ambience: Marshlands and Wind & Rain
- Foley: Screen Doors and Keyboards
- Footsteps: Sneakers and Heels
…with many more presets to explore.
Each of the twenty four presets are packed with an enormous range of assets powered by Krotos Studio. You can generate unlimited variations of truly unique sounds for your projects. This beast of a sound library is now available for purchase at a very affordable price of $29. Krotos Studio Pro will be available in late 2023.
Krotos will be adding pro-level control with an advanced edit mode and ability to import your own sounds as they continue to develop the platform through 2023. Transition paths will be made available for existing Krotos users as the pro version approaches closer to announcement.
