01Overview

KLANG's Radio Transmission instrument is built from sounds captured from the electromagnetic environment around us, the signals produced by modern devices that are normally imperceptible. Special equipment makes these fields audible and recordable, and the instrument reproduces them across the keyboard so each note can be played as a pitched element. It is designed for producers who want to work with textures that come from outside the usual synth and sample palette. The instrument runs inside Native Instruments Kontakt.

03In depth

Sound and Character of Radio Transmission Sounds

The instrument is based on the idea that modern life is filled with an invisible electromagnetic landscape. KLANG says these fields can be heard live and recorded with specialized devices, and that the recordings reproduce radio transmissions chromatically.

Because the sounds are tuned across the keyboard, they can be played melodically or used for rhythmic and atmospheric layers. The source material is organic and unpredictable, which suits textural music, sound design and experimental work that needs something beyond conventional oscillators.

Requirements and Working with the Instrument in Kontakt

Radio Transmission is a Kontakt instrument and requires the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt, version 5.6.8 or higher. It does not run in the free Kontakt Player.

It can be loaded into any Kontakt-compatible host that runs the full version, so it fits into existing sampler-based workflows. Producers can layer it with other sounds or process it with their own effects chain.
