MANDOLIN TEXTURES is a Kontakt instrument created using the sound of an acoustic mandolin. On some patches the sound is heavily manipulated, giving birth to unexpected sonic creations. Mandolin Textures – Unexpected Sonic Creations for Kontakt This instrument does not represent a sampled mandolin with all articulations. This is an inspiring tool which is based on a mandolin source, and is highly inspiring and musical. The first two patches are standard muted mandolin sounds, which we like a lot and find highly flexible and natural. The Muted Mandolin patch is sampled in 4 velocity layers and 3 round robins. Other patches are various textures, pads and ambient sounds. Mandolin is sampled with a Royer SF 12 stereo microphone in combination with an original Neve 1073 stereo pair of preamps OR occasionally Millenia HV-3C.

Miago Trod is a giant resonating lamellaphone that’s tuned chromatically and played percussively. Its mysteriously bassy and metallic timbre is ideal for your next scoring project that needs something truly unique. Miago Trod is a giant resonating lamellaphone created by master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin. It stands over five feet tall, with 22 threaded rods of varying lengths in two rows. The rods are tuned chromatically and played percussively. Part of the special character of this experimental device is found in the relative tuning of the upper and lower segments. They are long enough that the fundamentals are subsonic, and the tone is of various overtones. The range of rod lengths was chosen so that in the upper, shorter segments, one overtone is strong enough to stand out as the defining pitch, while other overtones contribute to a coherent blend. Meanwhile, the longer lower segment has similar sets of overtone relationships with a predominant pitch an octave below the upper segment. When either the upper or lower segment is struck, the two parts interact to further enrich the tone. The final result is a mysterious bassy and metallic timbre, ideal for your next scoring project that needs something truly unique.
