Oscillating Echoes: 20 Ambient and Lo-Fi presets for Sugar Bytes Factory

Factory is a great synth, but most of the included presets are too gritty and noisy for me, so I've made a set of presets that coax some more beautiful and ethereal sounds from the synth. The sounds have a Lo-Fi aesthetic and are suitable for ambient or experimental music, with lots of evolving textures and atmospheric sounds.

Download the presets here

And I've made a video showcasing the sounds as well as explaining how to install them:

Just to say that on iOS13 you can bypass AudioShare if you’re downloading directly from a link (as in this case) and not from Dropbox. The download manager in Safari itself lets you unzip and then you can move the files directly into the Factory user folder.

For the Dropbox patch links later in the thread, however, you do unfortunately still have to get them into AudioShare to unzip, it seems, as Dropbox links don’t go directly to the Files app.

These patches have led to me spending an hour on Factory. It’s great when you get into it! Am creating some patches to be used in Nanostudio 2 compositions, it’s fun to sequence the filter cutoff!

Thanks so much I shall try this later. I think I’m going wrong with finding the zip file. Thanks for all your help :-)

At the moment I’m in love with LaGrange and exploring its potential. Hoping to get a huge bank of all sorts of sounds done for it. I really like the various routing options in it.

Keep up the awesome sound design! 😊🙏

Hey Richard, I love your soundbank for LaGrange. Just my kind of lovely ambient pluck sounds and atmos. Well done and thanks for sharing. Really appreciating these sounds. I’m working on a bank of sounds for LaGrange, including some different glitchy rhymical drum/bass patches which sound a bit like Ruismaker Noir. LaGrange is such a cool and versatile synth. 👊😎🙏

Hey @richardyot @craftycurate @thesoundtestroom @Junebug here is a short example of what I’m trying to do with LaGrange for a possible new soundbank. I’m aiming to make a selection of rhythmical glitchy drum/perc/bass type sounds that behave and sound more like Ruismaker Noir or something. Basically you just have to hold down one note and let the synced LFOs and inbuilt sequencer/arp do the rest! This audio example comes from just one single patch providing hi hat, and tuned perc/drum/synth bass sounds. This type of patch might be useful as a backing or base on which to add pads/scapes etc

Sounds good, definitely an interesting direction.

I've done stuff like what you describe in Kronecker, @Spidericemidas. I'm still on the fence about Lagrange as I haven't heard anything I can't do elsewhere. Can you do different things with Lagrange than Kronecker with regards to rhythmic stuff like you describe?

Sounds great. Keep it up ...

I’m working on a couple of things too in Factory ... will post an audio demo soon.

I have Kronecker but I must admit I have never had a go at programming it myself, so I don’t really know how it would compare to LaGrange. It is on my list for exploring further.

Maybe for the rhythmical stuff there might not be that much difference between them. But maybe the selection of various OSC-Filter-AMP routing options in LaGrange might offer different possibilities compared to Kronecker?

if you want to install the presets

• open factory
• go to the setting tab
• tap on the preferences button
• then tap on the icloud tab
• make sure that the icloud sync is on

then you can quit out of factory

open the files app

• go to the icloud drive section
• look in factory
• look in presets
• and look in user

any file that are in that folder will appear in your user presets folder in factory

so what you should do is

• download the zip file with the presets
• unzip them in audioshare
• then use files to open the folder inside the zip
• select all the files inside it
• and copy them into this presets/user folder in factory

and the way you access them [in factory] is, if you are on the cloud setting, and if you open the presets, what you should do is just tap on the folder and go to user, and that's where you'll find all the presets that you've just installed.

Nicely done You should be getting work in this field

Bumping this thread to give @richardyot big big ups for these awesome preset packs! I bought myself Factory and Lagrange just so I could use these packs and am super stoked on them! Both will feature heavily in my upcoming projects

Thanks! Glad you like them. I’m working on a pack for Obsidian in NS2 for some time next year.

Yea! Some time next year starts shortly!

I followed the video, and they're in my Factory User folder in iCloud Drive, but the User folder isn't appearing in Factory. I've rebooted my iPad. What might I be missing?

Have you set the preference in Factory for iCloud sync to be on?

NimboStratus

I also copied to user folder, iCloud sync is on but couldn’t see user folder in factory. Rebooted iPad and it has appeared. Thanks for the lovely presets

id_23

My iCloud sync button is greyed out?
I already have a user folder, but not the same presets in it?

id_23

Does anyone know how to delete user presets?

id_23

Nvm…deleted the app reinstalled, set sync preferences as expected, presets are there!
Thanks folks!

Late to the party: thanks for these amazing presets!

Hello Factory Crew.. Does anyone have these presets to share please - as link is now 404 it is 4years ago

Quick note to say I've updated the download links, to separate the patches and PDF into two downloads, which means I can update them separately.

By the way, is there an option to store presets locally instead of on iCloud? I couldn't manage to do it. I'm asking as iCloud files can be offloaded by the system when "needed", although I would like to always have my presets at hand.

I was hoping that unchecking iCloud sync in Factory settings would do the trick but when I launch the app, I still can see my icloud presets, which means (I guess) that it's still using icloud.

Thanks!
