Unlock the ethereal world of Soundiron Phonautograms, a historic collection of vocal samples transformed into a versatile Kontakt instrument. This plugin revitalizes the pioneering phonautography recordings from the 1850s, captured by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville. The original recordings, made by projecting sound onto soot-blackened paper, have been meticulously decoded and reimagined into a modern auditory experience.

Soundiron has taken the essence of these early recordings and expanded them into a spectrum of immersive sounds. From chromatically sampled vocal sustains to ambient soundscapes and resynthesized drums, Phonautograms offers a diverse palette for musicians and sound designers alike. The plugin offers a suite of sound-shaping controls, including an adaptable LFO system, customizable arpeggiator, and a modular FX rack for endless creative possibilities. Whether you're crafting lush atmospheres or experimental compositions, the Kontakt Player compatibility ensures seamless integration into your workflow.

With 20 custom FX presets, 31 ambience patches, and an array of DSP effects, Phonautograms invites you to explore the boundaries of sound design. Its sophisticated interface and robust sound library make it a powerful tool for any musical project.
