Oddball: Kontakt Instrument of Cheap-Keyboard Sounds by Soundiron

The sounds are deliberately quirky. Soundiron says the patches include electrical noises, tuning frequency modulations and a toy vibraphone, along with white, brown and pink noise generators for layering.

The Kontakt interface offers automation-ready controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering. Twenty custom sound-designed FX and ambient presets provide starting points.

An adaptable LFO system offers selectable shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo sync and fade-in time. Twelve low-pass, high-pass and FX filters can be assigned modulation sources such as velocity, mod wheel, expression, aftertouch, key position and step-sequencer table control.

The arpeggiator provides a velocity table and control over direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. A key and scale lock constrains notes to common scales. A modular FX rack with ten slots accepts 18 effect modules in any order, and the convolution reverb includes 99 rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments plus 40 custom FX impulses.
