Panoramic Wave Generator KONTAKT

ZiNC | 21 December 2014 | 464 MB

The Panoramic Wave Generator is an experimental sound generating sample library for the Kontakt sampler from Native Instruments.Do you remember the early days of sampling? Or making long, low speed tape loops? That was the inspiration for the Panoramic Wave Generator. I still have an old Akai S-612 and it is one of those things that I just never get tired of. You can take a sound and stretch it across the entire keyboard. Depending on your sound it can sound like a howling demon in the low registers or a shrieking bird of prey on the high notes. Of course the old Akai has something like 2 seconds of sampling time.

Vender Jazz Bass KONTAKT

P2P | 15 November 2024 | 162.55 MB

With 30 alternate samples per key, this is one of our very detailed scripted basses. And the best part is of course the sound of this “Leo’s” legend. The Jazz Bass differs from the Precision Bass mainly in the electrical equipment, a narrower neck and the more asymmetrical shape of the body. In our recording session We used our vintage RFT 4053 Tube Mic-Pre/DI from the good old 60s. This VINTAGE BASS is an all-purpose weapon, so it is also very suitable for modern music styles. So we recorded this “gem of a bass” and cleverly scripted it into a perfect bass library. The real strength of this bass guitar lies in its playability. No machine-gun effect thanks to Multi-Round-Robin. The Analog taste gives the bass character and the flavor it needs for a realistic performance of a bass guitar. This is how the bass cuts through your mix in a perfectly authentic way.
