PendleoniumΒ³ is a 1.3GB hybrid sample instrument made from odd guitars, valves, tape echo and spring reverb. But don’t hold that against her.
The PΒ³ excels at creating complex sounds, pianos, strings, smooth synth-like pads, rumbles, and unfathomable noises. At lower registers the PendleoniumΒ³ can produce seismic movement and deep rich textures. In high registers it can be configured to produce sounds like ripples passing through mercury.
