Vektor: Cinematic Strings Kontakt Instrument by Loot Audio

Vektor is built around four sound sources that can be blended and shaped separately. Each source has its own EQ, envelope and filter controls, along with tuning from plus or minus 36 semitones, panning, solo, power, random and reverse functions. Adjustable start and end points let you trim each sample.

The Source Movement pad changes the gain distribution between the four sources, and it can move horizontally, vertically or in a circular motion, clockwise or counterclockwise. The Filter Movement pad controls cutoff and resonance across all sources or per source. Movement can be synced to your DAW tempo or run free.

The modulation page offers four LFOs and four envelopes that can be assigned to many source parameters. Nine global effects, including chorus, distortion, spatial, phasis, flair, convolution, filter, delay and lo-fi, shape the final sound.

For quick exploration, the randomisation page can randomise source voices, source filters, XY motion, modulation, effects or everything at once. Snapshots are grouped into categories such as organic, rhythmic, drones, synths and trailer FX, giving a starting point before you edit.
