NOVO Ostinato Textures: Kontakt Solo String Ostinato Instrument by Heavyocity

The library holds 20 tempo-synced articulations spread across the three solo strings. Eight simple ostinatos include Offbeat Crescendos, Accented Eights, Dynamic Eights, Driving Eights, Syncopated Accents, Subtle Gallops and Ticking Sixteenths. Eight complex ostinatos add patterns such as Rising Gallops, Swift Sixteenths, Fiveish, Fours and Threes, and Decaying Trees. Four triplet ostinatos, including Bent Quarter Triplets and Bouncing Triplets, cover rhythms built on triplet subdivisions.

According to Heavyocity, the samples were recorded at Heavyocity Studios with state-of-the-art microphones and preamps, so each pattern keeps the nuance of a live player.

The Ostinato Texture Designer blends up to three articulations at once, which lets you build hybrid textures that sit between acoustic performance and sound design. The 140 curated presets show how these combinations can be used.

The CYCLE page provides granular and rhythmic playback for pulses, swells and granular-style pads. The MACRO knob controls multiple parameters at once, so you can shape a texture with a single gesture.
