Ambient Toolkit For KONTAKT

DiSCOVER | 17 December 2018 | 1.16 GB

The GS Ambient Toolkit contains 5 wonderful kontakt libraries from Genera Studios in one bundle.

This Bundle Includes:
• Ambient Tape Machines
• Lush Atmosphere
• Spooky Chorus
• Spooky Piano
• Taps

……:::::: Spooky Chorus –  OVERVIEW ::::::……
Spooky Chorus is Kontakt Instrument created by making convolution IR responses out of vocal notes, and then routing noise through each sample to make an atmospheric choir sound. As a second set of sounds, the original samples were then fed through a shimmer reverb to create an even more atmospheric sound. As a third set of sounds, a spooky transient layer was added. The GUI of Spooky Chorus was designed to be very graphical. It can be divided into two categories: local and global. The local parameters are made up of 2 XY Pads so the user can graphically place the instrument in both space and frequency. The global parameters are made up of traditional sliders. A second tabbed page gives arpeggiator controls.

……:::::: INCLUDED ::::::……
• 1 Kontakt Instrument – 100MB
• 22 Samples
• 13 Snapshot Presets
• Clean Simple GUI with Arpeggiator
• Recorded at 24-Bit and 44.1kHz
• Requirements: Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8.1+ or higher.

……:::::: I N T E R F A C E ::::::……

……:::::: DETAILS ::::::……
Our mission with Spooky Chorus was to minimize the amount of knobs and sliders without losing any control. The bulk of the UI is made up of 2 XY pads, each containing the 3 unique sounds. You can drag around the sounds on the Volume / Pan Pad to position the instrument in space, and then drag the sounds on the Cutoff/Saturation Pad to position the instrument in frequency content. The remaining sliders control the global parameters of the instrument in a more traditional manner.

……:::::: Arpeggiator ::::::……
Spooky Chorus comes with a second tab on the GUI that gives you access to an arpeggiator. This is a stock NI preset arpeggiator, but it gives you access to a completely different way to play the instrument. Our favorite mode is random, with the rate set to high speeds – this creates a flurry of notes around whatever chord or groups of notes you’re playing.

……:::::: Spooky Presets ::::::……
Spooky Chorus comes with 13 snapshot presets to get you started. We found that Spooky Chorus performed best in 3 core areas: the main sounds (resembling a distant choir), the spooky sounds (ghostly artifacts), and fast arpeggiated sounds (to create a wash of sound). Note that if you want to use the snapshots in the drop-down menu on Spooky Chorus, you must move the snapshot folder into your Kontakt snapshot folder. There are instructions for how to do this in the README file included with the download.

……:::::: DEMO/PREViEW ::::::……

……:::::: Spooky Piano -OVERVIEW ::::::……
Spooky Piano is Kontakt Instrument created by making convolution IR responses out of notes from a synthesized piano, and then routing noise through each sample to make an atmospheric piano sound. As a second set of sounds, the original samples were then fed through saturation and reverb to create an even more atmospheric sound. As a third set of sounds, a single sample was mapped across the keyboard to create spooky artifacts that add an additional transient to the instrument. The GUI of Spooky Piano was designed to be very graphical. It can be divided into two categories: local and global. The local parameters are made up of 2 XY Pads so the user can graphically place the instrument in both space and frequency. The global parameters are made up of traditional sliders. A second tabbed page gives arpeggiator controls.

……:::::: DETAILS ::::::……
• 1 Kontakt Instrument – 260MB
• 72 Samples
• 16 Snapshot Presets
• Clean Simple GUI with Arpeggiator
• Open script
• Recorded at 24-Bit and 44.1kHz
• Requirements: Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8.1+ or higher.

……:::::: SPOOKY PRESETS ::::::……
Spooky Piano comes with 16 snapshot presets to get you started. We found that Spooky Piano performed best in 3 core areas: the main sounds (resembling a atmospheric piano), the spooky sounds (twisted sounds barely resembling a piano), and fast arpeggiated sounds. Note that if you want to use the snapshots in the drop-down menu on Taps, you must move the snapshot folder into your Kontakt snapshot folder. There are instructions for how to do this in the (.README) file included with the download.

……:::::: Taps – OVERVIEW ::::::……
Taps is a Kontakt Guitar Instrument created from tapped notes on a clean electric guitar, with an octave of low open plucked notes on the bottom end. The result is a very playable sample instrument with a diverse sound that can go between chill and ambient to chaotic and heavy. The GUI includes controls for delay, reverb, saturation, distortion, LPF, and ADSR. Theirs also a built in arpeggiator tab. There are 25 snapshot presets included to get you started, but we think you’ll find the possibilities are endless.

……:::::: DETAILS ::::::……
• 1 Kontakt Instrument – 58MB
• 37 Samples
• 25 Snapshot Presets
• Clean Simple GUI with Arpeggiator
• Open script
• Recorded at 24-Bit and 44.1kHz
• Recorded on an Ibanez RGA8 with EMG808X pickups through an Axe-FX II XL+
• Requirements: Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8.1+ or higher.

……:::::: LOT’S OF CONTROL ::::::……

Our mission with Taps was to create the biggest diversity in sounds possible with the smallest amount of samples. The raw sounds include a bottom octave of low notes played with a pick, and the remaining octaves are tapped notes – all on a clean electric guitar. Through the use of the delay, reverb, grit, filter, humanization, and ADSR modules (and the arpeggiator on the second tab), you can play anything from an ambient pad to a crazy helicopter sound.  When making a sample instrument you can usually take two distinct paths; deep sampling for realism (many velocity layers and round-robins), or focusing on sound design. We aimed to focus on sound design (deep sampling is often a wasted effort if you’re just going to cover it in delay, reverb, distortion, and filtering). The result was a super efficient 58MB size Kontakt instrument with a ton of capability, that we can afford to offer for a great price.

……:::::: PLENTY OF PRESETS ::::::……

Taps comes with 25 snapshot presets to get you started. The first 9 presets are what we consider ‘standard’ sounds, not too far away from the raw tone of the samples – use these if you want Taps to sound like a clean tapped electric guitar. The remaining presets are a mix of arpeggiated sounds, distorted guitar sounds, and crazy FX.  Note that if you want to use the snapshots in the drop-down menu on Taps, you must move the snapshot folder into your Kontakt snapshot folder. There are instructions for how to do this in the README file included with the download.

……:::::: ARPEGGIATOR ::::::……

Taps comes with a second tab on the GUI that gives you access to an arpeggiator. This is a stock NI preset arpeggiator, but it gives you access to a completely different way to play the instrument. Our favorite mode is random, with the rate set to high speeds – this creates a flurry of notes around whatever chord or groups of notes you’re playing.
