KVR Audio

I was inspired by Michael Bietenholz's FM synthesis based Kontakt instruments for this library. FM Synthesis is a good example of what fascinates me with sound design. Here's more info about the story behind this library:

I've always been fascinated by obscure instruments, especially the mini-keyboards of the eighties. They were aim at kids but some of them had more advanced functionalities that would allow you to create your own sounds. The Yamaha MK-100 was one of them. This hard to find Portasound keyboard has a limited set of parameters you can tweak, but they were expanded for this library using a rare Korg flanger effect as well as a DOD analog phaser pedal.

The results are fascinating analog tones and unique FM synthesis textures. This is the kind of sounds I would normally produced exclusively for myself, but I've decided to share them with you for a limited time (only two weeks!). If you're into underground artists like Daedelus, Freescha, Casino vs Japan, Bibio, Flying Lotus, and if you dig genre such as Synthwave and Vaprowave, FM Synthesis has that lofi sonic edge you've been looking for!

Lo Fi modulation has never sounded so good!

Yeah, it's to make it a more unique/"exclusive" library since there will be less people using it. Also, it's a very un-commercial release and I have upcoming, more widely appealing releases who will need the webspace it's using in the future.

I just may grab it before it's gone then!

Which FM synths have been sampled for this?

The Yamaha MK-100.

Here's more info about the MK-100:

It's a pretty neat little synth. For this library, I've thickened the sound with analog FX pedals and an equalizer. That's why it sounds almost more analog than FM.

Only a few days left to have these Yamaha MK-100 sounds for Kontakt 5! These sounds aren't available anywhere else on the net.

Just a reminder that there's only one day left to buy this library!

Thanks!

Indeed, it could happen since I have more unreleased recording from that instrument (clean and processed with rackmount and effect pedals).
