03In depth

Metallic Sounds and Tonal Instruments

The library covers a wide range of metal textures, including percussion ensembles, rattles, roars and warping bends. Sources include farm equipment, a caboose, a firetruck and a windmill.

Each sound can be played chromatically as a tonal instrument, so the same material works as a melodic part as well as an effect. You can also layer sounds into your own combined patches using the instrument interface.

Kontakt Controls, Modulation and FX Rack

The Kontakt interface includes automation-ready controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering.

An adaptable LFO system, 12 filter types, a customizable arpeggiator and a key and scale lock are included. A modular FX rack offers 18 DSP effect modules in 10 slots, which you can order as you like.
