Lowering the Attack and/or Release times nicely brings out melodic character in the patches the former seems to increase the tuned-percussion qualities, the latter the synth/organ-type qualities. Scans 1-2, seem to generally be the pad-tuned percussion duo Scan 3-4 generally the sfx/noise-critters pair-but not always so: adjusting the Scan Tuning for any layer can reveal lurking fauna and other things. Like other Atom Hub libraries, different things live under different keys all up and down the keyboard, especially noticeable by octaves. Sometimes the knobs react irregularly to vertical mouse motion but they always seems to react well to diagonal swipes. Since there is no included manual, I'll share some observations: Scans/layers are part of the patch and not individually loadable.


The most obvious additions in Deep Scan are the Scan (layer) controls. Compared to the original The Planet, which is another bargain that should still be on your list, the 4-layer sounds in Deep Scan are more complex and adjustable, and, unlike the original, the controls are clearly labeled so you don't have to depend on the Kontakt help line to figure out the GUI-even though I think both GUIs are actually straight-forward and relatively quick to grasp. If you're a fan of Atom Hub and all the critters and things that they have running around in their sounds, then Deep Scan will not disappoint you.
