During their time with Yamaha R&D, sound designers James Thompson and Dan Powell were responsible for shaping the sonic palettes of products such as AN1X, FSIR, VL1, EX5, Motif and Motif ES. Now, as Soniccouture, they have turned their programming skills to Kontakt 2.
Fresh from working with Native Instruments to create the Kontakt Experience Library, Soniccouture have produced 64 brand new Sample& Synthesis instruments and 5 new KSP Scripts.
Abstrakt Vol.1, features lush multi-layered 'workstation' pads, complex cinematic soundscapes, strange vocal textures, and evolving musical effects. The level of programming and user-tweakability in each instrument blurs the line between pure synthesis and conventional sampling, using Kontakt 2's convolution processor, multiple filter arrays, effects, granular time stretching, and of course, KSP scripting.
Included in Abstrakt Vol.1 are 5 new KSP script processors: Analogue Oscillators, Dub Delay, Shredder, Vocal Doubler and Tape Wow.
Abstrakt Vol.1 will be available on CD from 1st September and costs EU€35.
