It's a programmable, sample-based Virtual Synth Module software plug-in, which combines a massive 3.7 gigabyte core library with a powerful, yet easy to use interface and synth engine for manipulating the sounds, and creating your own original patches.

Conventions are always pretty congenial and relaxed during the sessions that are open only to registrants. Welcome receptions usually allow time for a lot of socializing, where friends can catch up on old news and share their new tattoos with others. Quite a few people take their cameras along, snapping shots of tattoos and people. This period is also the time to see the real serious tattoo enthusiasts and artists, since these are the ones who usually register for the entire convention. See similar questions...

We have had several free updates already for LFO sync and platform compatibility. Exciting things are planned for the future, but no specific information has been officially announced yet. No. It uses the RAM in your computer, which is far less taxing on your system and allows for better and more reliable host integration. See similar questions...

We recommend at least a 500mhz machine...the faster the better. Atmosphere will run with slower computers, but once you've heard the sounds, you will want to run as many Atmospheres as possible at the same time! Of course...faster is always better. See similar questions...

Not without obtaining a license transfer from Spectrasonics. The sounds and software are licensed and registered ONLY to you. You cannot automatically transfer the license to someone else, and therefore you cannot simply sell it used. If you do attempt to sell it used without obtaining a license transfer, the buyer will not be able to use the product because it is registered and licensed to you. The Atmosphere license is the right given to a single person to use the instrument. See similar questions...

The custom UVI engine we use can handle any sample rate/bit rate up to 192k/32 bit. This gives us the flexibility to use the highest rate necessary to capture the best quality sound on a sample by sample basis... so you always get the best possible sound, with the optimum memory efficiency.

We're a friendly, yet competitive bunch. For new people this is an atmosphere of learning. You will find some incredible talent here and would be surprised how quickly they will offer tips. The competition and winning come second. As such we strongly frown on negative comments on other peoples' entries, and we do not permit drama of any kind. We prefer a calm, relaxing atmosphere to compete and have fun in. See similar questions...

CO2 is building up from oil, coal, and gas burning faster than can be taken up by the oceans, forests and soils, whose capacity to absorb it, is steadily being reduced by human actions. The effects will take hundreds to thousands of years to be fully felt even if we used no more fossil fuels starting now. See similar questions...

The atmosphere is heated from the bottom because it is transparent to short wave solar radiation. The troposphere is cooled by long wave infrared radiation to space. The earth's surface and the atmosphere both emit infrared radiation. The atmosphere is opaque to infrared radiation. Most of the infrared radiation emitted by the earth's surface is absorbed in the lower troposphere and then carried upward by convection. See similar questions...

One of the strongest pieces of evidence for human-induced climate change is the consistent rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) in modern times, as measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, where CO2 has been observed since 1958. As of 2005, the concentration of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere was about 378 parts per million (ppm). See similar questions...

Not at all. Of course, we've worked hard to make sure that Atmosphere comes with an amazing library of sounds ....but it can very easily be used as a catalyst for your own creations. The whole idea is to combine powerful flexibility with an easy to use interface. You can easily create and manipulate your own sounds using the core library as a starting point for your own explorations. See similar questions...

Atmosphere is a virtual sound module, not a sampler. It doesn't import or load samples other than its own core library. The interface and software exist to manipulate this particular sound set and because of this, we have been able to keep the interface very streamlined and easy to use. There are many good options for software samplers to import and load AKAI sample libraries or AIFF/WAV/SF2 files, etc. See similar questions...

Yes, this is OK unless you want to put samples created with Atmosphere directly encoded into the game. That requires an additional license. No. It's very important to know that each composer must have his or her own copy and license for Atmosphere. We make regular checks to verify that large production studios have obtained the proper licenses for our instruments and sample libraries. No. The standard license to use Atmosphere is only granted to the buyer. See similar questions...

Not unless they are a licensed user. They will need their own serial number and registration to be licensed to use the instrument. It’s not actually unusual at all or even unique to Spectrasonics. In fact, this is the identical type of license agreement used by thousands of sample libraries, virtually all sample-based virtual instruments and the vast majority of music software.

No. Vassar is a supportive place where collaboration prevails. Students talk about ideas, not grades. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and enjoy an environment of mutual respect and tolerance. See similar questions...

Fun, friendly and focused. We celebrate birthdays and party at our successes. We work hard and support one another during good times and tough periods. We are professionals who do our best to assist our clients in their needs yet have been able to create a "family" environment at work that makes coming to work a "joy." See similar questions...

The atmosphere at Rock School is highly creative, but most importantly, supportive inspiring, informative, challenging, non-competitive, and fun! See similar questions...

Transfer from water, soil, or plant surfaces to air is called volatilization. Volatilization occurs when pesticide surface residues change from solid or liquid to a gas. The pesticide vapors diffuse a very short distance and then are swept away with the air current. Under ideal conditions, each pesticide has a characteristic tendency to become a gas, which is called its vapor pressure. The media also influences vapor pressure: the more tightly adsorbed or absorbed, the lower the vapor pressure. See similar questions...
