Hi, I’m David Hicks.
I’m a relentless tinkerer in experimental sound design—capturing the raw, organic energy of hardware synthesizers and warping it into something entirely new. Every Kontakt library I create is built from the ground up, designed to give you sounds that breathe, evolve, and spark inspiration the moment you touch the keys.
Imagine instruments where:
• Synthesisers crackle with electricity.
• Samples mutate into alien textures.
• Every note feels like it was plucked from the edge of a sci-fi universe.
You’ll uncover eerie atmospheres you never expected, glitchy pulses that add instant tension, and evolving tones that feel alive.
Whether you’re scoring a dystopian nightmare, a sci-fi epic, or something so experimental it doesn’t even have a name yet, my instruments aren’t just here to support your music—they’re here to push it forward.
I’ve poured three decades of synthesis, sound design, and hardware experimentation into these libraries. I hope you enjoy using them as much as I’ve loved creating them.
FREE KONTAKT LIBRARY – SOCORA LITE
A Cinematic Synth, Built to Inspire. Completely Free.
I created Socora LITE to give you a taste of what’s possible when you blend stunningly captured hardware waveforms with deep sound-sculpting tools—all packed into a powerful but lightweight Kontakt instrument.
What makes Socora LITE special?
• Analog warmth you can dial in—from pristine to beautifully unstable.
• A morphing FX engine that warps sounds into cinematic oblivion.
• A filter so refined, it took two years to perfect.
The level of detail here? Borderline ludicrous—especially for a free instrument.
Go ahead, take Socora LITE for a spin.
THE BIG ONE – SOCORA
A Cinematic World-Building Hyper-Synth
Where do I even start with Socora?
It’s not just a synth—it’s a force of nature. Built for cinematic sound design, Socora was designed to create colossal, evolving, and deeply expressive textures—from haunting dystopian drones to searing synth arpeggios.
Why Socora is unlike anything else:
• Morphing FX that bend reality.
• An arpeggiator that bounces notes around like fireflies.
• Stunning samples, shaped by a bespoke analog simulation system.
• Big, beefy, analog-style multi-mode filters.
• A wave-based motion engine that generates dynamic, living soundscapes.
• Macros, modulation, and more…
Oh, and did I mention the Intelligent Preset Generator? With just a few clicks, it creates massive, complex cinematic sounds in seconds—because sometimes, inspiration shouldn’t have to wait.
It’s coming soon…and trust me, it’ll be worth the wait.
