Kontakt is a powerful sampler and musical tool, yet many people barely scratch the surface of what it can do for their music. Soniccouture aim to change all of that with this unique package – Scriptorium. What is a KSP Script?: Way more than just a sound library, Scriptoriumis a collection of unique KSP scripts – kind of like ‘plug-ins’ for Kontakt. A different concept entirely to traditional effects like compressors or reverbs, these ingenious tools open up new worlds of sonic possibility within Kontakt. KSP allows you to manipulate Kontakt parameters at a microscopic level, creating new behaviours, unique timbral characters or even generative sequences. 35 different Script processors are included in Scriptorium….
A Gamelan is an ensemble of instruments originating from magesy download Indonesia. The majority of Gamelan instruments are percussive, and most of these are bronze. They include xylophone-like metallophones of different sizes and pitch, tuned gong chimes, very large pitched gongs, and an assortment of drums and percussion. There are many types of Gamelan ensembles, but the two dominant types are Javanese and Balinese. Balinese Gamelan has a characteristic ‘shimmering’ sound which is due to the detuning of paired instruments playing the same musical part.
Following a Soniccouture tradition of playing instruments the wrong way, we present this unique library of a Bowed Gamelan instrument. This library is actually made from magesy download just one instrument of the gamelan ensemble, the ugal. This is pitched in the middle of the gamelan range, and so is quite versatile and generally leads the gangsa section of a traditional Balinese group. This instrument has 14 keys which cover a range of almost 3 octaves. The metal Ugal keys were bowed using a standard cello bow, vertically across the thin edge of the metal. Instead of a conventional microphone, a Trance Audio Trance Inducer contact mic was used. This gives the sound an incredibly detailed, surgical scraping quality.
An Omnichord is an electronic musical instrument, introduced in 1981 and manufactured by the Suzuki Musical Instrument Corporation. It typically features a touch plate, and buttons for major, minor, and diminished chords. The most basic method of playing the instrument is to press the chord buttons and swipe the touch plate with a finger or guitar pick in imitation of strumming a stringed instrument. The Omnichord we have sampled here is a ‘System Two’, and it has a great magesy torrent synth tone, which sounds ‘cheap’ in all the right ways. You can mix two different tones, one straight, and one modulated with a basic LFO. While not sounding much like a plucked string, it does have a pure character all its own, which won it many fans, such as Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, to name but two.
A Lithophone ( litho = stone, phone= voice ) dating from magesy download 1840,The Skiddaw Stones are composed of 61 tuned and shaped rocks, made from magesy download the rare hornfels stone, found in Cumbria, England. Created by Joseph Richardson, a stonemason and musician, it took almost thirteen years to collect and shape enough individual notes of hornfels to make an eight-octave range. The massive task of assembling this instrument consumed Joseph so absolutely that he and his family were reduced to poverty. Once complete, Richardson and his sons toured Europe as The Rock, Bell and Steel Band, and even performed at Buckingham Palace, by command of Queen Victoria. The Stones are a permanent exhibit at the Keswick Museum and Art gallery, who very kindly agreed to let us record this rare instrument. The Stones were painstakingly transported to Music Farm Studios, Cumbria, where two different sets of mallets were used to laboriously capture large sets of velocity hits, then an extra articulation was recorded – the sound of the head of the wooden mallet being scraped across the stone surface – a surprisingly haunting and resonant sound.
The E.M.S. Synthi AKS is a legendary instrument with an illustrious history. First manufactured in 1972 by E.M.S in Putney, South-West London, The Synthi A was basically a portable version of EMS’s famous VCS3 synthesiser, and the KS Keyboard (a playable 30-note touchplate) was added to make the Synthi AKS. It cost £420.It was quickly adopted by the likes of Brian Eno and Pink Floyd, and has been used by experimental musicians ever since. The Synthi has a unique patching system that uses a small patchbay grid. Each of the Synthi’s components appear as a source and destination on the patchbay, and by placing a pin into that x-y position, you can route the signal from magesy download one component to the other. This was a very effective way to make a powerful modular system very compact.
Named after the Greek god of dreams, the Morpheus is an aluminum percussion instrument made by the US company Freenotes. The instrument is modular; the keys can be rearranged in any order you like, as each metal bar is attached to its own tuned resonator. The instrument is available in several different sizes – the version we sampled is two and a half octaves, with the optional ‘bass Wing’ extension which offers six notes ranging another octave below that of the main unit. The keys are struck with custom mallets, also built by Freenotes, and ring freely afterwards. There is no damping mechanism.
The Tape Choir was a project to attempt to recreate the famous vocal choir pad sound from magesy download 10cc’s ‘I’m Not In Love’. This particular sound is notorious in music production circles, owning to the laborious lengths the producers took to create it : 3 male vocalists stood around a single valve mic, and each sang the same note in unison, holding it for as long as they were able. This strenuous process was repeated 16 times for each note (due to the limitations of a 16 track tape machine), then bounced down to a single track for each of the 13 notes in the chromatic scale. Each of these notes was a tape loop, and so was looping out of sync with every other notes, producing this ‘infinite’ choir sound, which could be controlled by the mixing desk, by fading up a single note per channel.
Tremors is a stunning collection of dark, paranoid, funky and downright unclassifiable drum loops. Ranging from magesy download 65 bpm to 150 bpm, the tempos shift, double up on themselves, and then turn themselves inside out. Unclassified Rhythm: We love breakbeats, and we love anything that steps outside of the norm. Dubstep is a melting pot for breakbeat culture, where conventions have not yet been defined, and tempos and structures change from magesy download track to track in a way which would not be tolerated by most other genres.The spatial pyrotechnics and atmospherics employed in Tremors will mean that these drum loops will provide inspiration and new direction for Film composers, DJs, electronica producers as well as Dub-heads everywhere.
