Testimonials

Veiled Ashes is a very creative library with some very unique and versatile sounds. There are so many unique and well mixed patches to create signature sounds and FX for tracks!

Tuomas Norjanen / Composer at Bleeding Fingers

While there are plenty of atmosphere generators available, Observant Sound has taken a slightly different approach with Veiled Ashes. Whether you are making cinematic, downtempo, or meditation, Veiled Ashes’ 200 presets sound great, but there is so much more once you dive into the controls.

My feeling is, not only are you buying an instrument that sounds great and has some next-level design,
you are buying the Observant Sound engine.

Sample Library Review

I can't believe that this is a library from an indie developer! The sounds are awesome, very nice art-design and super easy to use and create amazing atmospheres, ambiences, layers and a lot more. This library can compare with the best of the market and will be better, Congrats to the team!

Franco Miquio / Composer for TV & Film

Veiled Ashes offers an instantly warm and cinematic sound with virtually unlimited tweaking and customization abilities. The Modulation Matrix alone will keep you busy for hours! I dare you to play around with those green and pink circles!!

Michael Brian Fuller / Composer for TV & Film • www.fullertime.com

I found the quality of the sounds to be excellent as well as the versatility. It could fit with just about any genre. I didn't need to spend time tweaking the presets to get a usable sound, even though the library offers a lot of options for adjusting to taste.

With this library, I kinda felt like the music was writing itself.

Kyle C. Norris / Music Director for Broadway Tours(Legally Blonde, If/Then)

This library is really inspirational.
You press a key and it takes you on a journey.
It's also very inviting to tweak the patches and explore
the various organic sources of the samples.

David H. – September 22, 2022

I love the interface, the built-in preset browser, and randomization options. The choice of an ambient sound set is a boon to composers of new age music and related genres. The company was quick to reply to my queries and very helpful.

Simeon Amburgey – October 13, 2022

I featured Veiled Ashes on a recent live stream and did not know what to expect at first, I thought, do we really need another pad library for Kontakt, I soon found out the answer.
When opening Veiled Ashes for the first time, I immediately recognized how much thought was put into the interface, as you had everything on one screen, then there was the sound.
Browsing through each preset opened up so many different soundscapes, it was very inspiring to play. The sounds were warm and had a life to them that pulled you into their universe, and that was just the beginning.
Looking at how powerful the MATRIX view signals that you could create so many additional patches and basically create an entire arrangement by only using this one instrument.
I feel like I have only scratched the smallest surface of what can be accomplished with Veiled Ashes. I look forward to more discoveries and adventures ahead.
Well done Max!

A kontakt instrument done just right. My new go-to for ambient sounds with wonderful, living, breathing presets. Not to mention the ability to use your own samples. The modulation engine is pure genius.

Julie – June 19, 2025

If I could give this 10 stars I would. It’s rare to hear a VST that sounds novel, that’s doing something other sound designers aren’t yet – but that’s exactly what Veiled Ashes is. I’ve only purchased it a few days ago but I’m using different sounds it offers in my current album and it’s giving it a signature vibe. ObservantSound is going to be a company I regularly check in with to see what they’re creating.
