Sick Volume 5 is the latest entry in our annual Sick series, exploring melodic and exotic tuned plucked strings and mallets, unique winds and musical effects designed for the sci-fi, horror and mystery genres. It also includes an extensive collection of evolving tonal ambient pads, atmospheric soundscapes, harmonic clouds and menacing drones. It’s also perfect if you just want fresh, unique musical sounds with an unconventional character and organic playability.
It features 5 acoustic instrument sets, recorded in a bright chamber with adjustable close and far mic positions. The "Astral Dirge Pipe" is a custom contraption that sonically resembes a multi-key tuned didgeridoo. We recorded chromatic sustains, staccatos and effects. The "Channeling Tube" is a classic spring-powered “Thunder Tube”, played both percussively and semi-chromatically by plucking the spring at differing lengths. The Conjuring Bell is a beautifully melodious pair of chimes with sound holes at their base to allow thumbing “wah-wah” effects as they ring. The "Spectral Moaner" is a droning wind instrument swung in an overhead arc to produce a harmonic series as speed increases.
The "Demon String" is an acoustic guitar outfitted with a Vo-96 guitar synthesizer that produce infinitely self-sustaining richly harmonic organ-like drones. We recorded a full range of string plucks, plus major, minor and octave chord types. Finally, we've designed 60 mystery, sci-fi and horror ambiences and soundscapes. Every preset includes cutting edge control features, rack FX and otherworldy convolutions to allow you plenty of creative control. Each of the two mic positions (close and far) can be independently loaded and mixed.
Sick 5 includes 8 master instrument bank presets with dozens of unique articulations, 1452 unlocked wav samples and 4 GB. It's on sale now for only $39 (normally $59). Hurry, the special intro deal ends after November 10th. This library requires the full version of Kontakt 5.1 or later and is not supported by the free Kontakt Player. Click Here for more info.
