Cracklefield v1.3 KONTAKT

P2P | 10.01.2019 | 454 MB

Cracklefield is an advanced generative sequencer for Kontakt featuring cellular multi-directional and interactive patterns which can create wonderfully unique musical phrases and rhythms. Cracklefield is a unique, generative music machine, inspired by cellular automatons and early videogames. I wanted a sequencer where sequence elements could interact with each other, creating a dynamically evolving patterns. The sequencer in Cracklefield is using a grid, two-dimensional cellular space called the field. The field can be read or modified by cursors, serving as a sequence track playing position. In the basic sequencer you have several tracks, each having its own one dimensional space, which can be read forward or backward. In Cracklefield all tracks are sharing the same two-dimensional space, each track being represented by a cursor. Cursors can travel in any direction, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, each at it’s own rate. They can can be set to bounce off field edges or obstacles, here named ‘walls’. The fun part is that cursors can bounce off each other.

Orchestra Enigmatica v1.02 KONTAKT

P2P | 10.01.2019 | 1.39 GB

Orchestra Enigmatica is an instrument based on samples from vintage analog “orchestral” synthesizer, Siel Orchestra from 1979 (first version). There are some additional voices created with 1984 Sequential Circuits Six-Track. The instrument has 16 voices, which can be processed individually by adding filters, effects and modulators and then combined to create new sounds. The samples are fairly detailed to preserve quirks of an ageing synthesizer. Sustained sounds have been looped by hand, without crossfading to preserve the original vibe.

The Modernist Xylophone KONTAKT

The Modernist Xylophone is part of a series of instruments aimed at providing beautiful simple interfaces that match beautiful, simple, and useful audio sampling. We have carefully sampled our Xylophone, with a classic articulation and then added three additional sample sets that use innovative different approaches to playing the instrument: rubber mallets, felt-covered mallets and brushes. We’ve included an innovative approach to delay, using our micro-delay engine, to allow easy development of trilled, and sustained sounds and added a warmth and colour controls to allow colouration of the final output. Finally we added two convolution reverbs dedicated to room spaces to place the instrument in a realistic environment. The Modernist Xylophone comes with 20 snapshots to get you started.

Bowed Guitar & Bass 2 KONTAKT

FANTASTiC | 10 October 2016 | 205 MB

The Instrument: As the name suggests “Bowed Guitars” is a collection of an acoustic guitar and an acoustic bass played exclusively with a bow. By playing these instruments this way, you´ll get a special and unique string sound: intimate and intensive with slight organic scraping. The bass is available as an amped or a clean version. We used a Martin acoustic guitar and a Harley Benton acoustic bass.

Simple Jazz Bass KONTAKT

FANTASTiC | March 09 2017 | 371 MB

We wanted to capture that semidarkness mood and the semblance of something flowing in a natural way, from the body of the player to the soul of the listener. On the acoustic side, we were looking for that round pizzicato sound with that peculiar defined fingers’ attack. If you love jazz, you’ll probably know what we mean. These qualities are not easy to be found in the same musician. This is why we asked Nicola Ziliani to work for us. We met Nicola in 2013. At that time the band in which he played was looking for a vibraphonist and Paolo suggested them to contact me. Since the first time I played with him I was amazed by the way he dived into music with his whole shape, physically playing with his body – and his soul – before playing with his fingers and mind.
