Wide Blue Sound updates 'ORBIT' Kontakt Instrument

Wide Blue Sound has released ORBIT v1.1, an update to the company's Orbital Synthesizer for Kontakt. In this release, ORBIT becomes a Kontakt Player library, gains compatibility with external remotes, and boasts significant new features and workflow enhancements - enabling users to create new, unique sounds faster than ever before.

New Features:

• Added: ORBIT now runs in the free Kontakt Player! It also now adds to the Kontakt Library tab, and features an easier install. (The factory snapshots folder is now in the main ORBIT folder.).
• Added: Assigned NRPNs to most parameters; enables external control from OSC, Lemur, etc.
• Added: Input Quantize: Select a quantize value, and notes and chords will always start perfectly in time. Preview exactly what your pulses and chops will sound like, without needing to first record & quantize in your DAW.
• Added: Micro-tuning: Holding shift when adjusting an ORBIT's tuning allows for cent-adjustments.
• Added: A new ALL switch that makes CLONE and RANDOM affect the Orbit Parameters as well. This allows for even quicker experimentation.
• Added: Several new sequencer processes.
• Improved: Naming of some existing sequencer processes.
• Improved: Timing of certain sequencer destinations.
• Improved: GUI enhancements.

There are also many small improvements, tweaks and minor bug-fixes.
