Downbeat Box

Mittwoch, September 16th, 2009

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Downbeat encompasses a wide variety of music-styles. But it´s much wider than those terms of “laid-back electronic music” alone would indicate. DOWNBEAT BOX is a fresh and exciting exploration into this world – highly playable, this essential selection will be a wonderful resource for use in a broad range of music styles such as electronic, pop and score music productions*.

Downbeat Box is fed from many organic as well as synthetic sources. Beautifully sampled from such diverse sources as voices, whistling noises, feedbacks, guitars and sounds and slices of the subtractive synthesized legendary KORG MS20, the package contains a mishmash of pads & textures, beats, rhythms, percussions, add-ons and solo-sounds. Check out all the opportunities the instruments provide by using the modwheel or the programmed surface of Kontakt.

Ambient A (Sampled guitars transformed to a calm ambient pad, modwheel controls sound)
Ambient T (Deep evolving texture)
Gentle (Sinus sounds formed to a chary and careful background)
Insidious (Rude and nasty sound, controlling delay amount and feedback)
Maryn (Simple and effective short sound)
Maryn Arp-MW (”Maryn” with arppegiator, 12 available presets controlled by modwheel)
Meseno 1 (Short ambient sound, generated by the KORG MS20)
MS20 Rhythm Bank (39 looped beats created with sounds of the “MS20 Rhythm BSH”-instrument, 1- or 2-bars, tempo-synced, controlling LP/HP-Filter, Delay and Reverb, each with free-assignable controller)
MS20 Rhythm BSH (Bass-Drums, Snares and HiHat, exclusively generated with the legendary MS20 – like the old drum machines worked, seperate volume controller for BD, SN + HH and amount of distortion)
MS20 Perc Bank (43 looped percussive and tonal beats of the “MS20 Rhythm Perc”-instrument, 1- or 2-bars, tempo-synced, controlling LP/HP-Filter, Delay and Reverb, each with free-assignable controller)
MS20 Rhythm Perc (A bunch of noises, blups, slices and percussion sounds, exclusively generated with the legendary MS20)
MS20 Sin Bass (A classical pure sinus bass, very low)
Outta Space (Reminds of a thermin, moving the modwheel adds a real tape-echo-machine atmosphere to it)
Tranquilizer (Beautiful mystic pad, made out of several feedbacks, whistling sounds and some human tones, modwheel controls sound)

This is a “Best of Percussion Vol.1”. Beside the essentials of the solo-instruments bongos (1 Set), chimes (only glissando), shaker (2x), spring drum (thunder) and tambourine, this set contains a nice collection of toms, cymbals and some wooden instruments. We recorded the Hi-Tom played with sticks and hands and the Low-Tom played with sticks and brushes in 5 velocity layers and 2 Round Robin variations. We recorded the ride cymbal played with sticks, brushes and timpani mallets as single notes and as a crescendo roll. Beyond that we added some more guiros, woodblocks and a triangle.
Just the essentials you need!.

Spring Drum

Mittwoch, August 19th, 2009

Spring_550

The sound of the Spring Drum is created by gently shaking the drum, so that the vibrations of the spring are transmitted to the head and produce a unique sound somewhere between a thunder and a dijeridoo. We’ve used two sizes of spring drum.

We recorded the typical thunder of the Spring Drum in loop, forward and reverse variations and we also recorded different spring noises.

Spring Drum (spring and thunder noises)
Spring Drum Deep (spring noises FX)

Chimes

Dienstag, August 18th, 2009

chimes_550

This is solid Bar Chimes, with 26 aluminium chimes with silver alloy coating and red wood frame.

We recorded the bar chimes in two different ways, each having its own patch.

The first patch is Chimes 26:
We recorded every single one of the 26 bars and programmed and arranged the real vibrations and response of the bar chimes. You can control the most important parameters (Tone, Response, Delay, Reverb), though you’re free to build your own sound, whether you want solo bar chimes or a mellow glissando sound in the background.

The second instrument is Chimes 26 rct:
We recorded the real interaction of the bar chimes, meaning that every note you play contains the vibrations of two or three neighbouring bars. You can control the amount of stereo, reverb and delay..
Both instruments allow completely new playing possibilities for bar chimes in real time.

12 EUR (excl. VAT)

Bongos

Montag, August 17th, 2009

Bongos_550

This is a normal pair of BONGOS, made of wood, the drum heads are of synthetic.

We played the bongos with hands and fingers and recorded two sets of samples. The first set is very detailed, containing samples of the rim and heads (muted and open) of the bongo played with hands and fingers. We recorded 4 velocity layers and 5 times Round Robin for each drum (the larger and smaller drum) and did the same with release samples.

The second set is called „light“ and contains samples just played with fingers in 5 velocity layers and 2 times Round Robin.
A special mapping makes it very easy to play the bongos in a natural and dynamic way, adding that extra touch of realism.

Bongos (4vel Layers, 5xRound Robin, mapping as below)
Bongos Light (5vel Layers, 2x Round Robin, simple but effective mapping)
Bongos Deep FX (The Bongo patch filtered)

12 EUR (excl. VAT)
