Noisy Michael Unconventional Bundle [KONTAKT]

FULL INFO BELOW:

This bundle is a vast collection of wonderfully designed instruments, each one with its own bespoke scripting and unique flavour.

In total there are 39 instruments and they will all run in Kontakt V2 or above (not Kontakt Player).

If you want something different, something that will add character to your productions then this is a real no-brainer!

They dont have fancy interfaces or massive sample-sets but what they lack in size they make up for in sound and responsiveness. Using the power of Kontakt to create little gems of experimental sound-design goodness.

Hammerbass

Hammerbass: its somewhere between a bass guitar and a hammered dulcimer. But dont think the twee folky sound of a hammered dulcimer, but rather the jangly, noisy sound of hitting on your heavy-gauge roundwound GHS Boomers with a drumstick. Lots of character and body - great for bass, but also good in the higher register for more melodic uses. The Hammerbass has two sets of main samples (24-bit), one from a pickup and one close-miced, with the mix being controllable from the custom interface. There are also separate samples for the attacks, for the note-off noises as well as for some string squeaks or scrapes (a noise like dragging a pick along a string). In addition, playing a high C triggers a thud sound like muting the strings on a bass. Multiple-velocity samples of course, and most samples have round-robin alternates. The custom interface provides controls for the amount of attack and for the volume of the characteristic note-off noises, and how often the string scrape noises are triggered between notes. You get two NKI instruments, the first where everything is combined and a custom script controls the triggering of note-off noises and scrapes, designed for just playing (this one was used for the Soundcloud demo) and the second where the main notes, note-offs and scrapes are key-switched so you can have full control over when they get triggered.

Max7imba

The Max7imba: Its somewhere between a Marimba, a Kalimba and a DX-7. Listen to the demo - its like a vacuum-tube marimba played with light-sabres. A metallic sort of percussive sound, but after the percussive hit, some drone voices come in and hang about for a bit, embedding the percussive main sound in a ghostly haze. This sample-set is based on an original DX-7 and the main samples have that non-linear DX-7 sound, sampled, of course, at multiple velocities. The mod-wheel brings in the drone voices. The drone voices are held for some time after you play the notes, so when you play a flurry of percussive notes, you are left with a long wash of drones. The custom interface has control for the length of the hold time. The drone voices have controllable vibrato. There is also a controllable attack sound (with round-robin alternate samples). A built in reverb and delay and an autophasing effect that adds subtle motion to your playing are all controllable from the custom interface.

Nostromo

Heres the sound of the USCSS spaceship Nostromo, an M-class commercial mining starfreighter. This Kontakt instrument has a multi-layered spacey, analogy pad, to build your space-opera melodies with, combined with a selection of the grimy, clanky sounds of the spaceship itself: rumbles, HVAC systems, coolant pumps, and clanks echoing through the long metal corridors. Several Kontakt NKIs are included: you can have the pad and the spaceship noises as separate instruments, or mapped out for either a 88-key or a 61-key (5-ocatve) keyboard. The spaceship noises are on the lowest 11 notes and the pad above that. Special programming allows some of the spaceship noises to latch - you hit the key once and the spaceship rumble starts, and doesnt stop till you hit the same key again, or untill you hit the lowest key, which kills all the drone voices at once. The custom interface provides volume controls for the various spaceship noises, a control for the latching behavior, and controls for the built-in chorus, reverb and delay effects.

Garlick Harpsichord

Garlick Harpsichord: A lovely single-manual example, made by the renowned harpsichord-maker Andrew Garlick. Lovingly multi-sampled in great detail, including both notes and note-off samples. Controls are provided to bring in a second choir of strings, tuned an octave above the first, and for the volume of the note-off noises, as well as to control the amount of the built-in convolution reverb. If you want a little funky with your powdered wig, there is a Filter button, which turns on a resonant filter which is under the
