Hollow Sun The Advanced H1 [KONTAKT]

FULL INFO BELOW:

The ADVANCE H-1 ...Theres some serious old scool circuitry in there powered by ECC88 valves/tubes and weve modelled the GUI on the original but have taken some liberties...
Weve added a simple vibrato LFO and a simple envelope. There are also poly and mono modes with a glide control for the mono mode. You can switch between the raw valve sine and square waves but you can also enable the tape mode and then switch between old cassette and completely knackered reel-to-reel (and the machine is so wrecked, that should be real-to-unreal ... totally wrecked ... but sounds fabulous - all the qualities of valves with genuine tape saturation and excessive wow, flutter and random wobble ... which can be made more chaotic with the vibrato LFO).

The FREQUENCY control is rather nicely implemented (though I say so myself) in that as you turn the control, the needle in the scope is ganged to follow it (my thanks to Mario, the resident scriptmeister at HS Towers for achieving that because it was a bit of a bastard to do!). The range is six octaves and totally smooth and it is enormous fun to assign a MIDI controller to FREQUENCY and just play with sweeping the pitch old time stylee - hours of fun to be had!

And then theres a stereo echo unit and a convolution space device with various impulses that include spring, room, hall and plate to round things off.
The result is more Radiophonic than the Radiophonic!! It comes with a handful of presets to get you going but its so stupidly simple, its best used to just fiddle around and just make a sound for the track your working on ... or tweak a preset.
This is a fun unit to play with and modestly priced. Its been great fun to make.
