Audiomodern has released Abuser, a hybrid analog virtual instrument for Kontakt. It features audio samples direct from the Sherman filterbank, a filter effect box with unique tube sound overdrive.
Abuser has a 24dB/octave 4-pole dual filter module, a genuine analog circuitry with serious overdrive intended for the grungiest of sounds:
- All of the source material comes from recordings of various devices feeding into the Sherman filterbank.
- No software based distortion emulators were used in the creation of these sounds.
- No sounds were based on processor calculated speed.
- Audio defects were left in to maintain both analog character and authenticity.
This instrument has analogue modelled effects, powerful LFOs and envelopes. It is designed to create a range of sounds, from filthy basses with extremely low frequencies and leads to futuristic electronica, distorted leads, mellow saturated melodic Poly-Synths and everything in between.
