01Overview

VINTAGE SYNTH: Velvet Blend is built around the warm string category of vintage synthesis. KLANG took sounds from classic analog instruments and layered them into a large string-style patch. The developer then added filters and phasers to shape the result into a smooth, velvety pad. The instrument runs inside Kontakt, so it fits into a Kontakt-based production setup. The full version of Kontakt is required, as the free Kontakt Player will place it in demo mode.

Warm String Pads Built From Vintage Synths

KLANG describes the instrument as a dedicated take on the warm strings category. The source sounds include the Yamaha CS-60 and the Juno 60, along with other analog synthesizers. The developer combined these sources into a large string patch with a wide, sustained character.

After building the core patch, KLANG added filters, phasers and other processing to refine the tone. The result is a soft, enveloping pad designed to sit under melodies, chords and arrangements that need warmth and width.

Requirements and Kontakt Setup

VINTAGE SYNTH: Velvet Blend runs as a Kontakt Instrument. You need the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.6.8 or higher to load and play it. The free Kontakt Player does not unlock the instrument and will keep it in demo mode.

If you already use Kontakt for sample-based instruments, this pad fits into that workflow as a standard Kontakt patch.
