Native Instruments introduces ARCANE ATTIC Expansion for MASCHINE

Berlin, May 27, 2014 – Native Instruments announced today ARCANE ATTIC – 
a new MASCHINE Expansion featuring gritty field recordings. Designed for 
unconventional beat making across all styles and genres, this Expansion 
was created, recorded, and designed by BOOM Library. ARCANE ATTIC also 
comes with new presets for MASSIVE and MASCHINE’s Drum Synths, with a 
selection of sounds that perfectly complement the out of the ordinary 
sample material. ARCANE ATTIC is available now at the NI Online Shop and 
runs in the MASCHINE 2 software on MASCHINE STUDIO, MASCHINE, or MACHINE 
MIKRO. A compact version for iMASCHINE is also available via the in-app 
store.

The high-quality field recordings in ARCANE ATTIC are aimed at 
electronic music producers or simply anyone looking to add 
unconventional sounds to their productions. The range of sounds is 
highly diverse and organized into several categories. It represents a 
wide spectrum from robotic and mechanical science fiction recordings to 
heavy cinematic metal impacts, slams, strikes, and buzzing, percussive 
details. A set of elemental sounds explode with kinetic fire and water 
blasts. Producers looking to spice up their percussion will also find a 
range of pistol, rifle, and cannon sounds that have been transformed 
into pounding drums. Finally, a set of orchestral samples recorded with 
a live orchestra are included for adding rich, larger-than-life melodies 
to productions.

Complementing ARCANE ATTIC’s field recordings are a new set of 40 
presets for MASSIVE, which provide additional melodic possibilities 
beyond the orchestral samples. 43 MASCHINE 2 Drum Synth presets feature 
a clean sound designed to complement ARCANE ATTIC’s gritty sample set 
with added punch and character. In total, ARCANE ATTIC features 7 
projects, 39 drum kits, and 7 special kits, plus a set of 140 
pre-arranged patterns for quick inspiration.

ARCANE ATTIC was created by BOOM Library – the sound design company 
founded in 2010 by Axel Rohrbach, Pierre Langer, and Tilman Sillescu. 
The sounds are a selection from the BOOM Library product line – now for 
the first time directly accessible within the MASCHINE beat production 
environment. Their sound libraries have been featured in films like ‘Sin 
City – A Dame To Die For’, TV series such as ‘From Dusk Till Dawn The 
Series’, Games like ‘Battlefield 4’ and trailers for ‘The Hobbit – The 
Desolation Of Smaug’, and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’.

A condensed version of ARCANE ATTIC is also available as an iMASCHINE 
Expansion, for creating unconventional beats on-the-go. The iMASCHINE 
Expansion features 2 projects and 4 drum kits. Tracks can be exported to 
MASCHINE STUDIO, MASCHINE, and MASCHINE MIKRO for completion.

ARCANE ATTIC is available now at the NI Online Shop for $49 / 49 € / £44 
/ ¥ 4,800 and runs in the MASCHINE 2 software.

The iMASCHINE Expansion is available at the iMASCHINE in-app store for
