The Forbidden Planet Black Friday deal takes 55% off this EastWest Sounds virtual instrument, so it costs $89 until Jan 17, 2027.
Forbidden Planet is a morphing synth library built on the OPUS engine. The maker says it holds over 600 expertly crafted morphing synths.
The library has 645 instruments and 54 GB of analog samples. Sounds are sorted into these categories:
The idea is to morph freely between electronic layers, acoustic instruments and futuristic sounds. That gives you a way to blend textures inside one patch instead of stacking separate tracks.
The maker lists a new suite of post-processing and mixing tools, heavy filter modulation and an extensive rack of effects. Every preset is fully customizable by the user.
So you can take a preset as a starting point and rebuild it with the controls rather than treat it as a fixed sound.
EastWest Sounds pitches Forbidden Planet at soundtracks and EDM, plus hip hop, rap, industrial and world music.
