  • DRIFT001 | sound-dust

    Cunning simplicity, complex and beautiful sounds with just 4 knobs. A sample library for Kontakt VST £35/$45/€43 Achingly beautiful sounds from a cunningly simple interface. Hybrid electro acoustic bliss - pianos, strings, synths, tape, spiderwebs & more. Minimal maximalism 11 deeply sampled hybrid articulations 5GB of 24bit multi samples 100 glorious snapshots 30 MULTIS for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1and above add to cart DRIFT001 Here at Sound Dust, we like to create instruments that inspire and stimulate new music and new ways of making music. This often involves building impossible contraptions packed with possibilities...they also tend to have quite a lot of controls. DRIFT 001 goes in a different direction - simple at the front, complex behind the curtain. The business end is just 4 large knobs: Grist, ADSR, Morph and Space combine multiple functions for uncomplicated and intuitive sound design. A minimal interface beneath which lurks a maximalists desire to warp, bend and squash millions of new sounds into the aether. 4 knobs wasn't quite enough though - BPM synced drift control adds gorgeous woozy tape like wow and flutter and BPM synced tremolo adds movement and throb. Instantly turn a wonky piano into a warped felt pad or reversed ghost Joanna. Create massive gnarly pads that can quickly be tamed to subtle gossamer. There is enough variation inside DRIFT001 and your brain to score an entire movie/game/box set/concept album/stage musical...there really is.

  • LOOP POOL - PERCUSSION | sound-dust

    Over 1000 dirty percussion loops from the nimble fingers of Grammy winner Marcio Doctor. A BPM synced sample library for Kontakt VST LOOP POOL PERCUSSION £50 An infinity of eccentric rhythm texture devised in a unique collaboration with Grammy winning percussion maestro and composer Marcio Doctor . 3 sample sets - BAM & TSCHAK, MOONDOG generator and GROOVEPOOL 60 Kontakt instruments (K5 & K6 versions) 1055 synced stem loops 100 full loops curated by Marcio and Sound Dust 1.5 GB total size for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8 and/or 6.4.2 ADD TO CART Who ? Marcio Doctor is a percussionist and composer with a finely tuned ear for texture and groove. Originally from Argentina and now settled in Hamburg, he has travelled the world and amassed an amazing collection of crazy things to hit that make great noises. For this project Marcio carefully selected the most appropriate and some times most eclectic of his instruments to build a huge collection of complimentary grooves and rhythm textures. Bombo and Tan Tan for beautiful low rounded thud, Riq and various tambourines for snare like grooves, unlikely metal and glass objects for high-end clatter...and a wooden stool ! (see full list below) So, a Sound Dust collaboration with Marcio couldn't be anything but really, really exciting. LOOP POOL PERCUSSION pours more than 1000 Marcio loops into the LOOP POOL engine to create a sample instrument with literally a gazillion rhythm and texture possibilities. Always synced to the BPM of your DAW, you can intuitively trigger, time slip and morph samples with mod wheel and keyboard to create beautiful and bonkers percussive adventures. LOOP POOL PERCUSSION is an unexpected and refreshing alternative to epic drum imperialism and could be your new groovy secret weapon. Why ? This is an out of the ordinary sample library partly inspired by the very out of the ordinary MOONDOG - the legendary 'Viking of 6th Avenue'. You may not have heard of him, but if you are interested in the coffee stained groove of Tom Waits , the wonky blues of Captain Beefheart , or the visionary cacophony of Harry Partch you will love him and his very strange story. A very innovative way to create variation in the patterns cross-fading between the layers. I just love the way everything is recorded, it has that vibe-y sound that I like so much. Johannes Ringen - Avengers- Age of Ultron, Fast and Furious 7, Norsemen twenty free curated loops here mid Marcios instruments Bombo , crash cymbals stacks, cup chimes stack, floor toms, small, medium and large frame drums, flight case kick, Riq , seed pods, tiny and large tambourines, Tan Tan , trash splash stack, woodblock, bike seat, metal Reco-Reco, bamboo brushes, tiny bells, various Caxixi s and shakers, cymbal brush, marbles, bamboo Reco-reco , soft shaker, steel container, tin resonator, triangles, Congas, high and low wooden drums, wooden stool, ceramic tile, small and medium gongs, Kanjira , pie dish, bells, cowbells, custom-made metal slit drum, aluminium tube, singing bowl. All these grooves and effects were played either with different drumsticks, soft, medium and hard mallets, brushes, chopsticks, metal beaters or using different finger and hand playing techniques.

With the unique time funnel feature that adjusts playback speed per layer a single note can be very fertile ground indeed. Add more notes for more inspiration and rhythmic interplay. Reverse loops with the play head control and stretch single loops across the whole keyboard with the note lock. Use legato to start a new loop from where you left the last one and offset to adjust the groove of each and every stem Every control can be DAW automated or midi learned for complex processing and jamming. 'In short, Loop Pool Percussion is a triumph! It puts a whole new spin on using rhythmic loops which gives a wealth of control to the user and lends itself incredibly well to experimentation and play. The particular quality of the sounds is very appealing – not over produced.'

  • DRIFT 005 | sound-dust

    DRIFT 005 A plucky hybrid made from deep sampled Hohner D6 Clavinet, Arnold Dolmetsch Harpsichord, Siel Orchestra 3 and some cunning deep fakes. Essentially a 60 stringed electric guitar A sample library for Kontakt VST DRIFT005 clavotron £35/$45/€43 A hybrid hammered & plucked string instrument like no other 10 deeply sampled articulations Hohner Clavinet D6 in 5 flavours, Dolmetsh Harpsichord, Siel Orchestra2 - and more 3GB of 24bit multi samples Wow, flutter & multi throb in abundance for FULL version of Kontakt 6.7.1and above add to cart A brief history of clav Long before Stevie Wonder was around, the clavichord, dating back to the 14th century, was one of the most expressive (and only) keyboard instruments available. Unlike the harpsichord, which plucked, the clavichord hammered its strings with small metal blades called tangents. This gave the player exceptional control over dynamics and expression, making it pretty special - but not very loud. In the 1960s Ernst Zacharias borrowed the clavichord's basic string-striking mechanics, added built-in pickups similar to an electric guitar, and invented the Clavinet - the electric clavichord. Hohner, at the time famous for harmonicas and accordions, introduced The Clavinet D6 in 1971 - and then all hell broke loose. drift005 - clavotron Anchor 1 Let's be straight, you could play Superstition with DRIFT005, but you can do better. It is much more interesting to think of the clavinet as a 60-string electric guitar ! DRIFT005 is packed with deep sampled articulations of real D6, and intriguing variations on the clav sound. It can do an authentic recreation of cool 70s clav, but you'll also find amped and feedbacked D6 alongside the bright, soft and muted variations. There's a real harpsichord (plucked, not hammered strings), analogue clavichord via the gorgeous Siel Orchestra2, and deeply faked, modeled, FM'd and bad clavichords made with hybrid software/hardware combinations. The unique stacking system of the DRIFT universe means obtuse impossible instruments are no longer impossible, just stack them together and sculpt the sound in your head...or use one of the many pre rolled variations. The classic Stevie setting - brash and bright. Just the soft button - gentle bumptiousness. There is a mechanical slider that engages a fake palm mute - deep and clacky. Played through the Digitech Freqout pedal - endless and slightly unfeasible harmonic sustain. Played through a small valve combo - fruity and massive. A Frankensteined version of the original Tiny Binaural Harpsichord - dusty and plucky. A cunning Karplus Strong hammered string - light but with hints of mild clangorous ness . Analogue blap with envelope following filter sweep - dare I say 'funky' FM , analogue and a hint of acoustic - surprisingly organic Gorgeous Italian string synth with a clavichord preset - which I didn't use. THE SOUNDS This is the fifth instalment of the DRIFT series of instruments. Simple at the front, complex behind the curtain.

  • Prepared Pianet | sound-dust

    A brutalised Hohner Pianet T - recorded 3 ways. Sample libary for Kontakt VSt Prepared Pianet £30 A plebeian Pianet T : poked, prodded and pampered produces powerful, pleasing and pretty perverse powered pianic possibilities. 3 Kontakt instruments - Prepared Pianet, 3 X Muted Pianets and 3 X Acoustic Pianets 46 instrument snapshots 280mb download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.5.1 or above. add to cart Sounds like forgotten out-takes from Bitches Brew sessions discovered after 40 years under a damp blanket at the back of Joe Zawinul’s garage. This little marvel comprises three instrument sets – acoustic, muted and amped. Each set features a number of fully tweakable sounds which can be edited, blended together and given the full Sound Dust treatment to create your own unique Prepared Pianet. As with all Sound Dust instruments the Prepared Pianet is rich with possibility. The audible charms and eccentricities of classic tine and pickup electric pianos are utilised and brought under the control of the player as never before. mid Reminded me of my old Pianet T, which I played through an elderly Selmer 100 watt valve head (turned up to eleven, of course) and a 4x12 speaker cab with a couple of torn cones. The resulting overdrive and feedback blotted out three guitars and drums leaving just me and the bass in a body pummelling groove. I thought that sound was lost in time, but it’s possible once more and at much lower volumes with the Prepared Pianet. Dean- Quietland Prepared Pianet Prepared Pianet - a sample library for Kontakt VST The gubbins Prepared Pianet - a sample library for Kontakt VST- RTFM Prepared Pianet - a sample library for Kontakt VST Prepared Pianet Prepared Pianet - a sample library for Kontakt VST The gubbins 1/5 All sounds were carefully sampled from the source instrument, a Hohner Pianet T, using three techniques; Very close mic-ed for acoustic harmonics and dissonance, muted with a finger placed delicately on each tine for a thumb piano feel, and through high quality pre-amps. As with other Sound Dust instruments the results can be thought of as a self-contained orchestra of the surreal. The Prepared Pianet offers superb standard electric pianos and heavily processed tines. Stratospheric pads are under-laid with electronic tweets and chatter. Played lower down the scale, a muted piano becomes an unstable electro bass. Whacked out opportunities abound, from evolving electronics, snappy acoustics and indescribable musical tones and frequencies. The percussive blasts and tinkling subtleties which can be achieved inspire the imagination. Whats Inside ?

Think of her as a character piano modeller, you can cunningly combine different aspects of each piano to create impossible sounding piano hybrids. Just don't expect the usual bland, silky smooth tones of those other over sampled piano monsters. The fun doesn't stop there though, Ships Piano³ isn't just a pretty face. She also comes with the Satie-anator sequencer engine which combined with the key switch operated scale and key commands is a full on inspiration machine! mid Ships Piano Ships Piano Ships Piano Ships Piano 1/6 Ships Piano...a little bit of history Designed by JB Cramer and Sons of London in the late 1800's, the ships piano (or yacht piano) was built especially for the cramped confines of Victorian pleasure boats. The perfect thing for a little sea bound entertainment in the good old pre-ipod days of the empire. International adventurer Captain Robert Scott (of the Antarctic) was apparently a fan and always had one onboard for those times when a hearty, spirit lifting sing-along was just the ticket. James Joyce also briefly mentions a ships piano in his book The Dubliners. These things are very rare and pretty much ignored these days. A ships piano is basically a tiny rudimentary upright piano with a five octave keyboard that folds upwards to save space. It has no bottom half and sits either on a low table or a stand with a small leather and chain contraption dangling from its bottom that loops around the foot for the sustain pedal. Because of its small frame size it struggles with low notes, so the bass strings are very wide gauge and particularly flabby, resulting in a strange almost atonal metallic sound in the lower reaches. Whats Inside ? School Grand - a binaurally recorded grand piano in an ancient stone walled Hogwartsy school hall/chapel Ships Piano - 4 or 5 notes of velocity, recorded binaurally and re-tuned since the last version - see box for her history Room Upright - binaurally recorded with 3 layers of velocity, the cunning bit is that she was reversed, fed through high end reverb and then reversed again Individual controls for volume, sample start, pan, stereo width, attack curve, ADSR, vibato and reverb send per piano 346 24bit samples = 360mb with Native Instruments' propriety compression 24 custom convolution reverbs per piano Satie-anator - 12 user programmable, key triggered sequencers with 12 tracks per sequence Scale and pitch quantisers with key switch control Master FX page - master EQ, tape and valve modelling plus transient designer Keyboard Velocity modelling page 37 instrument snapshots Handy build in instructions in RTFM page FULL version of Kontakt 5.5.1 or above needed.

"Infundibulum is unbelievably groovy… what an amazing untapped palette of timbres and rhythms, a real polyrhythmic wonderland.” - Chris Carter - Throbbing Gristle, Carter Tutti and Chris & Cosey middle THE INFUNDIBULUM family is not intended to authentically replicate any of the sounds included, some have been deeply multi sampled and others are deliberately stretched across a wider key span than is sensible. The samples all have very obvious loop points. The whole point of Infundibulum is to embrace and celebrate the artefacts that occur when sampling goes too far. Hold a chord, any chord, and you will hear the different notes start to cycle back on themselves in disjointed but glorious ways that you will never hear from a gazillion gigabyte hypersampled piano, crumhorn or orchestral calabash. Then add in the multi-arp and filter sequencers, 3 sounds repeating through different length cycles at different speeds, and you are halfway to an out-of-body experience. The SAMPLED INSTRUMENTS...

What the heck is an INFUNDIBULUM anyway ? Funny you should ask :- technically it's just a funnel, but in his excellent time leaping novel Sirens of Titan, Kurt Vonnegut invented the Chrono-synclastic Infundibulum , which is essentially a time funnel. Seemed an apt name for this instrument. bottom
