Released on patchpool - Mini Bank The Vase for Alchemy

[Sampleconstruct]

I just released this:



The Vase for Alchemy is a Mini Bank, containing 15 patches made entirely from a multisampled vase using unprocessed samples for beautiful and delicate mallet-like instruments and processed, spectralized and metasynthed samples for pads, synths, soundscapes and otherworldly noises.

The vase was played with soft mallets, hitting it at the top, bottom and side, recording 10 variations for each hit (10x Round Robin). It was also played with the hand for claydrum-like sounds (9xRR), it was rubbed with a drumstick, it was filled with water for nice drips and drops and it was resynthed to create keyboard-like instruments.

All vase samples were recorded with 3 Neumann microphones in L-C-R in 48 Khz/24 Bit, a U87 as the center mic - a stereo set of KM 184 for L-R.

As in all my soundsets for Alchemy I make extensive use of Alchemy's complex modulation possibilities and filters, often intermodulating LFOs/MSEGs/Sequencers with each other and assigning numerous parameters to a single Controller. This enables the user to deeply interact with the sounds and shape it according to his needs and preferences. Also the patches can serve as a starting point for the user's own creations when loading new samples into them and then using the pre-assigned Controllers and Snapshots in the Remix Pad.

You can view/download the PDF for this library with more details, the licence agreement, some pics and the patchlist, including playing tips and descriptions for each patch here.

Fresh demo:
Jamming with 2 Alchemy patches from the The Vase - "Vase Clavi" and "Claydrum Vase 2Vel RR9" (untuned), there is also a tuned version, both have 9x Round Robin and 2 velocities. The Clavi was made by sending melodyned/tuned bottom vase samples through tuned combfilters, 4 samples over the keyboard range, the rest is deon Achemy, I only use 2 Clavi Snaps in the demo, it also has pad snaps and more oriental sounding stuff.

Here is a demo for the patch "Meta Vase Pad", laying down a big chord and then tweaking some Performance Controllers on the fly:

And a demo for the patch "Vase Tails" with 2 instances of Alchemy, one morphing through the paddy/drony and more abstract Snapshots and the second on playing Snapshot 5 which is a percussive instrument.
