Discover the Sound Design Secrets Behind Black Marvin's "Carta" Content Bank for Phase Plant in this series of videos

We're excited to share a brand-new three-part video series from Francis Bousquet, better known as Black Marvin, a Montreal-based DJ, producer, and Phase Plant power-user.

In these videos, Black Marvin takes you deep into the creative process behind his Phase Plant content bank, Carta, a collection of 50 atmospheric presets designed to transport you to realms of complex and mysterious sounds. Whether you're into psychedelic trance, progressive trance, or experimental sound design, this series offers a fascinating glimpse into the techniques used to craft these evocative presets.

Each episode explores a different aspect of Black Marvin's intricate sound design workflow.

In Episode 1, he dives into stacking effects and modulating parameters to conjure esoteric textures. Episode 2 focuses on building intense atmospheric pads with multiple generator layers. Finally, in Episode 3, he demonstrates how to harvest a source sound and transform it into something extraordinary using his unique creative approach.

These videos not only reveal the secrets behind Carta's haunting and cinematic sounds but also serve as an inspiring guide for anyone looking to push the boundaries of Phase Plant.

Carta itself is a sonic map divided into five evocative themes: The Laboratory, The Pitch Black Cavern, The Prismatic Voices, The Sequencetorium, and The UV Forest. Each preset invites you to explore new depths of sound design, from eerie textures to otherworldly voices, with surprises at every turn. Black Marvin's reputation as a bold and experimental producer shines through in every preset, making Carta a must-have for adventurous sound designers.
