Geosonics is a collaboration between legendary field recordist Chris Watson and Soniccouture. Hundreds of hours of recording time, in some of the worlds most extreme and inhospitable environments, combine to form a library of rare sonic artefacts that cannot be found anywhere else. Using this unique collection as a starting point, we created a wealth of sound design material ; waves and sampled textures which, when layered and combined with Watson's recordings create the most fluid, organic soundscapes ever. To play sounds gathered from places like the North Pole or the Kalahari desert on a simple MIDI keyboard is a magical experience - only possible with Geosonics.

The main Instrument panel features 2 modes:
- Natural Mode ( FOCUS off)
- Sound Design Mode ( FOCUS on)

In 'Natural Mode' it is posisble to audition and scan through the original Watson recording file. Different sections of the file can be played on the MIDI keybaord, and filters and envelopes applied if desired.

In 'Sound Design Mode', a selected part of the original recording is 'Focused' - mapped across the keyabord to be played chromatically - and two extra sound source layers appear. These are labelled 'Pitched 1' and 'Pitched 2'. Here tuned synthesis and sound design material can be selected and layered with the Natural recording.
