FORBIDDEN PLANET features over 600 expertly crafted morphing synths across categories such as Arpeggiator, Bass, Drones, FX, Leads, Pads, and Poly Synth. ly morph between electronic layers, acoustic instruments, and futuristic sounds - perfect for soundtracks, EDM, hip hop and more. Featuring a brand-new suite of post-processing and mixing tools, insane filter modulation, and an extensive rack of effects, you now have the ability to break away from everything that has come before with new controls, powered by the critically-acclaimed OPUS engine, that offer unprecedented sonic shaping power with presets completely customizable by the user.

The idea for FORBIDDEN PLANET started when producers DOUG ROGERS and NICK PHOENIX set out to create EASTWESTs first fully featured synth collection, not based on traditional oscillators, but combining electronic synth layers with orchestral, world instruments, choral samples, sound effects and more into one enormous collection — creating a new sound palette designed for the future, not the past. Producers Rogers and Phoenix were dissatisfied with most synths, which typically had a small percentage of usable patches and a lot of filler. Now with the new OPUS engine, they had all the tools they needed to create the ultimate collection of cinematic inspiration. Everything was meticulously captured with a state of the art analog signal chain, resulting in the fattest analog synths on the planet.

Hybrid Synth Armageddon

Crossfade between sound sources and filter settings with the central XY pad to capture morphing hybrid sounds in moments. By moving the Orbital Control, you can dynamically capture broad but smooth shifts in both timbre and frequency content. Moving left and right changes the blend amount between two contrasting sources—from analog, acoustic, synthetic, and large-scale cinematic sounds. The vertical position controls filter frequency and is perfect for creating sweeping gestures however you see fit.

Advanced Filter Modulation

The XY Pad isnt the only way to control the filter. Simply pull up the filter section of the UI and you can pop open the hood, controlling the modulation depth. The Mod Envelope allows you to add an ADSR-style envelope onto the filter cutoff, automating its movement with each note, while the Step LFO section produces a gated rhythm as the sequencer modulates the filter cutoff frequency. This leaves you to play with the XY Pad, creating progressive textures and drones to set the tone of the atmosphere you want to build.

Dual Arpeggiator

The dual-arpeggiator structure allows for any rhythmic combinations you like across both layers. You can create polyrhythms, sync rhythms together, or even choose one layer to sustain while the other sets a rhythmic foundation. Create staccato and legato patterns with portamento and glide as you like. Not only does this make it easy to create highly dynamic and choppy ostinatos, but each of the two sound sources gets its own sequencer with the option to desynchronize their speeds. The two are adjacent to each other in the UI, giving you unprecedented automation capabilities without digging through multiple different submenus. Copy settings between both and you can produce slight variations that support more depth, creativity, and shimmer than youll find anywhere else.

Bass Sounds

Forbidden Planets basses are layered with FX pedal tones, contrasting crossfades, and gritty overtones, perfect for tackling the most ambitious soundtracks.

Drone Sounds

Forbidden Planets mechanical, organic, and environmental drones can be used to create any atmosphere you choose. This is where the XY Pad shines, producing original and morphing ambiences in real time, so you can set the stage however you choose.

FX Sounds

Forbidden Planet offers a collection of effects that defy classification, obtained from voices, acoustic instruments and a variety of synthesized sources—ideal for adding tension, noise, and chilling one-shots to accent your soundscape.

Lead Sounds

Forbidden Planet gives you a tool for creating organic, adaptive leads that pop in the mix. Spend less time designing leads and arrive at the perfect lead instantly.

Pad Sounds

Use the XP pad to shape warm, ambient, or gritty pads, and effortlessly morph between cinematic textures to create a solid backing of chords or build a dramatic soundscape.

Poly Synth Sounds

This collection of presets doesnt fit neatly into any one category—its perfect for experimentation and bridging different styles. These are your go-to presets when you want to be surprised while still having fine control over the overall sound.
