Multi-Platinum Engineer and Producer Kenny Gioia returns with an all-new mixing series, this time dedicated to mixing Heavy Rock / Metal!

Post-Apocalyptic Guitar KONTAKT

SYNTHiC4TE | 21 October 2013 | 879.48 MB

Post-Apocalyptic Guitar is a sample library dedicated to the rhythmic timbre and textures of post-rock bands like Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Cul De Sac and others. The library contains two core type of phrase-based patches divided into a Yin and Yang category. The Yin category is softer, lighter, more airy and heavenly – whereas the Yang category is harder, darker, more distorted and punchy. All the patches are tempo-synced and can be blended in an infinite amount of ways.

Koto Nation v2.0 KONTAKT

SYNTHiC4TE | 11 May 2017 | 3.26 GB

The deepest koto, bass koto and shamisen library ever released, featuring world-class performer Masayo Ishigure! 2 mic positions, extensive dynamics and RRs, FX patches and extensive traditional and contemporary articulations. We created Koto Nation out of a desire to see traditional Japanese instruments receive a deep, thorough sampling treatment, much like our acclaimed North Indian sample library Sitar Nation. While there are a handful of libraries which include samples of the koto and shamisen, they feature only the most basic articulations and few (if any) velocities or round robins. To our knowledge, the bass koto has never been sampled at all! Given the popularity of the shakuhachi and taiko in many Western film soundtracks, we wanted to allow film composers, hobbyist producers, ethnomusicologists, anime fans and everyone in between access to these classic instruments and complete the repertoire of traditional Japanese sounds available.

Music Box KONTAKT

SYNTHiC4TE | 26 May 2014 | 106 MB

A small hand-crank music box, with each pitch sampled and spread across the full keyboard for maximum playability. The music box was recorded sitting on an open snare drum, giving more body through the resonance of the drum.
The Patch: Full range -The music box is spread across multiple octaves, giving extreme bass and high key options. Low/High Balance – The original 96k samples were pitched down to create a lower octave set of tones for a clear low end option. You can control the balance between low and high tones with the user interface. Mod Wheel for octave blend – Use the mod wheel to select the high, low, or both octaves. Allows for quick changes of timbre. The balance knobs further shape the sound when using both octaves. Pure/Rough Balance – an included convolution impulse response (preloaded in the patch) gives an option for a sharper edge to the tone. Great for darker uses or tension, and easily adjustable from the user interface. For a pure sound, just keep Pure at 100%
