Back in 2023, Song Athletics teamed up with Grammy-nominated composer Max Richter for a software instrument that captured the sounds of Richter's Steinway D SPIRIO | r grand piano, before releasing the free Dark Mode plugin late last year.
This week, the British company, headed up by former Spitfire Audio CEO Will Evans, has released another Kontakt instrument developed in collaboration with Richter under the SRM Sounds banner. Valley Forge is a sci-fi inspired virtual instrument and "celestial toolkit" based on the sounds of a 15-piece timpani ensemble, an original Minimoog and an array of analogue effects processors.
