Dreadbox Murmux Adept Sound Bank

This Synth Universe Sound Bank is a bank of 101 patches for the Dreadbox Murmux Adept Edition (2024) desktop synthesizer. It contains a wide variety of pro quality analog sounds including pads, poly synths, strings, chimes, brass, leads, bass, keys, and ambient.

If you have not watched the demo videos, view here (patches 1-25), here (patches 26 – 51), here (patches 52 – 76) and here (patches 77 – 101). All the sound bank patches are demonstrated, played straight from the synth with no external audio processing applied so you can hear exactly what you’re getting.

In my opinion, the Murmux Adept is a modern classic among synthesizers. It oozes quality and depth with a vintage analog sound and a strong personality. The oscillators, filters and analog stereo bucket brigade delay (BBD) interact to create a rich palette of timbres, with an inclination towards dark ambient.

It excels at ambient pads, textures and atmospheres so I have exploited this in many of my patches. I have also created more conventional sounds such as strings and brass which sing with power and majesty – rivalling those of the Sequential Prophet 5.

Lead sounds are another strength of the Murmux, so you will find many within the bank ranging from pure triangles and sines through to aggressive and expressive saws.

Although the Murmux looks like a very simple synth - lacking complex features like a modulation matrix, in fact it is possible to create many layers of modulation simultaneously. You can for instance, assign velocity (how hard you press the keys) to modulate envelope times while also morphing between waveforms in both oscillators and using aftertouch to control filter cutoff and resonance. In this sound bank I have used modulation comprehensively and all patches have modulation assigned to the mod wheel as well as aftertouch and/ or velocity to maximise the expressiveness of the sounds.

The delay is a big feature of the Murmux so I have employed it a lot, although you will also find traditional analog synth patches with no effects at all. The BBD resonator and ensemble modes are powerful, yet I have tended to use them for subtle modulation to thicken sounds or to create gentle flanging.

When you purchase this sound bank you get a zipped folder containing all the individual patches as sysex files, a 'Read me' document which gives information on installation and getting the most from the sounds, and a full patch list with notes for each patch. The sysex files can easily be transferred to your Murmux using free sysex librarian software on Mac or Windows.

Sorry no refunds or swaps once you've purchased.
