Vertigo Glass & Iron

Vertigo Glass & Iron is another addition to our Vertigo range.

As a further member of our Vertigo series it inherits similar sonic characteristics, namely the warm and gritty tones of the Vertigo instruments. We put a lot of effort into creating a diverse range of articulations allowing the user to blend from subtle tones to more experimental soundscapes. The effects section of our Vertigo engine enables you to tweak sounds to create anything from cozy warm pads to rougher sounds.

All in all, the Vertigo Glass & Iron is a versatile and easy to use tool for sculpting textures fitting for film but feeling equally at home with producers looking for organic, breathy and unique timbres.

Overview and Concept

Essentially Vertigo Glass & Iron is a melange of 17 meticulously selected glass & metal sounds. The overall sound is characterized by a warm and raw ensemble, with a special organic flavor. We recorded different sounds with a varying sound sources and articulations. All sounds can be mixed, tuned and panned individually.
