01Overview

GUITARS: Indigo Waves is a Kontakt instrument from KLANG, part of a guitar-focused collection by a team of composers. KLANG describes the instrument as a new interpretation of the guitar, created to express their affection for effects pedals. Rather than a straightforward guitar library, it reimagines the instrument through heavy processing. Producers working in Kontakt can use it as a starting point for experimental guitar textures.

03In depth

Sound Design Built From Effects Pedals

KLANG recorded a bass guitar passed through several of its stompboxes, including Pitch Delay, Granular, Distortion and Sampler. The developer then captured two patches from this chain. These two patches can be mixed together inside the instrument, so the sound comes from the interaction between the source bass and the effects.

Because the character is shaped by pitch, granular and sampling processing, the results are best suited to sound design rather than natural guitar tones. Producers looking for something that moves and shifts over time will find the layered, effect-driven material useful for atmospheric or experimental work.

Using Indigo Waves in Kontakt

Indigo Waves runs inside Kontakt and requires the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.6.8 or higher. It is sold as a Kontakt instrument, so it loads into a Kontakt rack like other sample-based instruments.

The two-patch blend is the main control concept. Producers can combine the two effect-processed sources to find new sounds that sit between them.
