Soundiron Kazoo KONTAKT

Soundiron Kazoo KONTAKT | 442 Mb
This library was created with the help of a world-class kazoo ensemble, featuring some of the finest hand-crafted wax paper and plastic wind instruments that money can buy. We gathered together four of the finest kazoo virtuosos in the world to capture this power ensemble collection. We recorded this brilliant sample set in our own private studios.
This library includes features such as delicate automation control, 4-times round robin on all sustains and 4-times round robin on all release triggers, advanced programming and playability and special custom instruments that feature our life-like hall acoustic simulation technology. All in all, we feel this is the most powerful professional-grade kazoo ensemble library available anywhere in the world.

Functionality
For solo kazoo patches, we recorded each and every semitone from G#2 – D4, with three independent levels of expression, from steady, to vibrato and all the way up to full tremolo. Each note is continuously looping, with an average loop length of over ten seconds. All notes feature release-triggered samples.

The ensemble patches are the shear essence of power. Legato scripting for commanding leads and driving melody lines, with tight programming to allow a strident, confident and virtuosic playing style. This instrument uses our own custom epic hall reverb convolution to elevate the sound to the most brilliantly soaring heights. This state-of-the-art convolution technology uses live impulse response signatures, which were captured with expert precision and care by our own in-house engineering team, in one of the finest recording halls in all the world.

Tonehammer Soundiron Old Busted Granny Piano Kontakt

Tonehammer Soundiron Old Busted Granny Piano Kontakt | 207.9 MB
This instrument is pretty special to us, though it doesn’t sound all that great from purely academic point of view. Actually, it sounds pretty damn rough. We realized that there is already a million other amazing piano libraries around, but none of them have ever captured the authentic beauty of a dusty, old, haven’t-been-played-since-granny-lost-her-hearing upright piano. It has been sitting in the living room of an old friend’s house for a good long decade and who knows where it as before that. We don’t know the brand or model off hand, but she looked to be about 60 or 70 years old and quite beat up the last time we saw her.

Her tone is watery and faded.There are a number of broken and badly de-tuned strings, especially in the upper range.The wood is pitted and scratched and the ivory was partially or completely missing from more than a dozen keys. She was way, way out of tune and there were more than a few broken strings in the higher octaves. Every note you’d play started with a loud, wobbly wooden thud and ended the same way as soon as you lifted your finger again. Sometimes, she would creak and groan in the middle of the night, for no reason at all really. Clearly, the years were not kind to her looks or her voice, but her soul truly aged like fine wine.

Details

We captured 3-4 velocity layers on all keys, with added round-robin variation on the two middle octaves in the mf range.There are actually two independent release trigger samples for every note to better replicate the natural behavior of the instrument as we recorded it. Each note has separate string release samples and key release samples.The “key” release trigger is the soft, distant sounding mechanical wooden “thud” that naturally occurs whenever any key is lifted, even after the resonance has faded.

The piano is so old and rickety that you have to very slowly releases the sustain pedal or all of the hammers come crashing back down on the strings and occasionally even get stuck there if you lift your foot too quickly.

Tonehammer Soundiron Ambius Vol 1 Transmissions KONTAKT DVDR (repost)

Tonehammer Soundiron Ambius Vol 1 Transmissions KONTAKT DVDR (repost) | 1.8 Gb
In this first volume of our Ambius series, we focus on the dark, the cryptic, the unnatural and the subliminal, in the form of unearthly angelic bell tones and demonically corrupt signals filtering through the void. This massive collection of ambiences, drones, pads and evolving synth leads were each created by hand. Every sound you hear was hand-crafted using only organic field and instrument recordings. In fact, no synthesizers were used in the creation of this library at all. We used a variety of custom techniques to blend, warp, shape and layer the sounds, taking them from the realm of the known into that of the very unknown. The instruments you'll find in this collection range from simple, clean, tonal leads to compound, constantly moving sound-scapes and textures.

Instruments are broken into 3 main categories (Tuned, Melodic and Horror), with 288 Kontakt programs, 352 looping wav samples and 2.5 GB of total ambient content, plus a selection of our custom stereo convolution reverb impulses. Each instrument includes special controls for multi-layer cross-fading, filtering, intensity, octave/semi-tone stepping and effect wetness control.

You'll find a faded archive of EVP recordings engineered by the dead, ear-witness accounts of unholy medical procedures, insidious swarms of enraged stinging insects, terror winds speaking with voices of pure and ancient decay and bio-mechanical devices worming through primordial pools of seething logic. We also included 7 beautiful tuned solo/lead instruments and a large collection of complex evolving melodic pads, ranging from darkly dissonant to brilliantly harmonious. You will marvel in the sweeping glory of infinite choirs and spin endlessly soaring melodies from our cluster bells.

Tuned Solo:
Clusterbells – Dark, sustaining bell-like drones with a searing top end, these make for great pads and leads.Dig – This set has tonal and textural similarities to a wall of didgeridoos, with plenty of muddy, complex bass and mid tones.
Musiox – Clean, crisp sustaining bell tones
Pangubus – Clouds of vast, warm organ-like texture, morphed with deep brass bells
Pianus – Sustain drawn to infinity.
Protus – Similar in nature to the pangubus, but darker, crisper and yet more dissonant.

Melodic Pads:
Para-orchestral – Orchestral atmospheres and pads, from light and harmonic to dark and discordant.
Re-choral – Choir-like pads and atmospheres, from light and harmonic to dark and discordant.
Transmusical – Dark, evolving, dissonant complex ambient drones

Horror drones, textures and ambiences:
Drill-o-phone – tuned lead instrument created from a dental drill grinding into tooth enamel
The root canal – pads and ambiences created from an actual root canal procedure
EVP – Evil transmissions from the other side, ranging from mystical to horrific
Industry- Dark machines at work.
Panorganics – Strange alien biological auditory experimentation
Rictus – sickly neon lights
Swarming – great killer bee swarms and locust plagues
Winds – storm winds howling through the cracks and endless hallways of an ancient factory building.
