P2P | Oct 21 2016 | 1.06 GB

Want to communicate your musical ideas in the most clear and compelling way? You need to learn music notation. Notation is the written language of music: the letters and words of sound. In this course, author Rick Schmunk explains the most fundamental topics in music notation, with the intention of showing musicians and songwriters what they need to know to read and write the language and notate their musical ideas correctly. It starts with notating pitch (clefs) and duration, including note lengths and rests. He moves into discussing flats, sharps, naturals, and key signatures, and the unique symbols for musical expression, including dynamics and articulations. He goes over notating chords and chord progressions, and the addition of vocals and lyrics. The course wraps with some score formatting tips and notation examples for piano, guitar, and drums, which pull together all the information into complete, publication-worthy pieces of sheet music.

African Marimba & Udu KONTAKT

FANTASTiC | 20 October 2016 | 146 MB

The African Marimba and Udu is a collection of sampled African instruments recorded at the world famous MGM Scoring Stage at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles. The African Marimba contains mallet and stick hits recorded at varying dynamics with up to 5 round robins. This instrument features a new SOFT ATTACK slider that softens the onset of each note. The African Marimba also features a roll generator similar to that in the Dulcimer and Zither library. When the mod wheel is set to a value higher than 0, the patch plays a roll with dynamics controlled by the modwheel. This can be combined with the SOFT ATTACK feature to create interesting textures and pads.

A classic game console reverb effect, now in plugin format! SNESVerb is a super lightweight, streamlined, and easy-to-use way of adding 16-bit style faux reverb along with other lo-fi processing effects. We created this plugin because users of Super Audio Cart, which included a similar built-in effect, requested it. Rather than just leaving it as a simple delay, we also included some useful features such as a downsampler, pre-and post-processing filters, four stereo input modes, and a preset randomizer button. SNESVerb is a lightweight plugin designed to faithfully emulate the faux-reverb effect of the SNES home video game console. Many classic game soundtracks from this game system heavily utilized the reverb effect, which was actually a very short delay line, making for a truly signature sound that is looked on with warm nostalgia by millions.
