WHO WE ARE

Dark Intervals is a boutique sound design label, part of Badstring Studio LTD.
We create high-quality virtual instruments and sample packs
for modern composers, producers, and sound designers.


Born from a passion for exploring unique sounds,
Dark Intervals combines a vast collection of synthesizers, guitars, ethnic instruments,
​and rare stringed instruments into inspiring tools that spark creativity.

PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy is simple: quality over quantity.

Every instrument we design is crafted to be immediate, intuitive, and musically inspiring.
Instead of endless tweaking, we believe each patch should feel like a ready-to-use composition tool -
​something that drives ideas forward from the very first note.

KRISTIJANUS, COMPOSITOR SOMNIORUM


Depicted here mid-stride, having just left the studio after a four-hour session chasing one perfect ambient swell. The sunglasses are not for the Mediterranean sun but for the glow of sixteen open plugin windows. Historians remain divided on whether the cape is ceremonial or simply what happens when you reach for a guitar and knock over a curtain.

KLOPUS MAXIMUS, ARCHITECTUS U.I.


Erected by grateful Kontakt users in the fifth year of his reign over the script editor. Legend holds he once debugged a corrupted NKS file using only patience and a stern glare, and that no preset has crashed in his presence since (OR?). The inscription below — "Fortis est qui se dominat, non qui alios" — translates roughly to "strong is he who controls himself, not others," which scholars agree is also excellent advice for resisting the urge to add one more knob to the UI.

INSTRUMENTS

Dark Intervals instruments are built for Native Instruments Kontakt (full version) and feature streamlined interfaces,

DEEP BLUE is already the main soft synth in my music production. My third solo album, which I'm currently working on, has some ambient songs, but I couldn't complete it without DEEP BLUE. I appreciate it very much.

(TAKE 6, 5-TIME GRAMMY-WINNING COMPOSER/PRODUCER)
Patmos is a wealth of wonderful pads and other sounds, a number of which are destined to become new go-tos in my template. I love how they’ve presented some of the patches with low-pass filters, offering instant richness and warmth. Two thumbs up!

Gus Reyes

(COMPOSER OF "EL CHAPO" AND "CONTROL Z")
Amazing sound and concept libraries. I highly recommend all of them.
