Using Superball friction mallets, we sampled a variety of Orchestral Bass Drums, Timpani, Taiko, Thunder Sheet and Gongs to create a library of evolving sonic textures.. Superball is a rare type of mallet with a rubber ball end, which is used by percussionists to create a unique waling drone-like sound. It is performed by dragging the rubber head of the mallet along a surface, creating friction, which produces a wave of unusual and unique sonic textures that vary depending on the size of the Superball, type of percussion and technique. Superball is a non-transient sound that open-endedly shapes and transforms as the motion, pressure and intensity of dragging of the mallet continues.
Electric pianos are just the coolest things: whether it’s the bark of a Wurli or the soulful drive of a suitcase Rhodes, we just love our EPs, and there’s hardly a musical genre out there in which they haven’t played a key part (ha… no pun intended.) But as usual, the ones that come built-in to most DAWs are a little on the polite side. We’ve decided to fix that. Prototype EP Kontakt instrument 2Prototype EP is a painstakingly sampled Weltmeister Claviset. Or at least, it may be. That part’s a little unclear.
‘American Christmas’ by MAGIX evokes a world covered by a coat of snow with houses decorated for the holidays, sitting beside the open fire, or dancing at a Christmas soiree. You’re going to have a lot of fun with this one whether you want to write a quintessential Christmas track or add a jolly Christmas big band feel to any other genre. This pack is inspired by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, and American big bands. With various brass loops, woodwind, strings and percussion you’ll find something from each section of the orchestra providing loops you can create Swing and Jazz tracks with, plus guitars, piano, vocals, and more for creating that smooth yet energetic classic Christmas sound.
Darth Vader styling, shiny FM tones and tines! • 8 classic piano and EP patches recreated in meticulous detail, using multiple velocity layers and over 830Mb of compressed samples • Combine, balance and detune any two Patches in an authentic recreation of a genuine DX Program slot • Full Tines patch in all its glory… go on, you know you want to ???? • We think there are sounds in this thing that will pleasantly surprise even hardened DX-skeptics If you were alive in the 1980s, you were probably exposed to unhealthy amounts of Yamaha DX7 at an early age. In fact, even now, scientists tell us that people who live in cities rather than the countryside are never at any time more than 2 meters away from a DX7.
Roland’s RS202 disco-era analogue string synth reborn he strings that soared above a thousand Disco hits! • Roland’s classic Ensemble / Chorus effect gets its first outing • Warm yet gritty analogue tonality – a great contrast to more polite string synths Roland’s RS202 hales from 1976, and was something of a landmark product for Roland. It featured the first outing of the classic Ensemble / Chorus effect that would later grace the Juno and Jupiter lines, and which contributed in large part to the warmth and movement of Roland’s big analogue machines. You saw it here first, folks ???? The RS202 had no ambition to be a huge polysynth, though. It was a string machine, plain and simple, albeit with a useful Brass section incorporated alongside the two String footages. It also had tone controls and two flavours of the wonderful Ensemble to liven things up – position II gives a lush chorus, while position I adds some lively modulation to create the sound that captured the imagination of a generation. Stepping neatly into the Disco scene, the RS202 pretty much defined the sound of ‘disco strings’ – its character being sweet and soaring in the top octaves, but interestingly gritty and raw in the midrange. (It’s quite a contrast to Logan and Godwin in this sense: a much more rough-round-the-edges tonality until you get to the high notes.)
