Organic and packed with character, FELT DULCITONE has an otherworldly presence and warmth that feels personal, like the loving nuzzle of a furry pet in front of a crackling open fire. Originally designed and manufactured in Scotland in the 1800's, and with allegedly only 2000 in existence, a DULCITONE is a portable keyboard that was made for missionaries to hump around remote African village churches to help perk up hymn services. It has a very basic piano action with spring-loaded felt covered hammers striking small magnet shaped tuning forks. Like a Fender Rhodes electric piano without electricity, with a very lovely woody, clonky glockenspiel/celesta kind of sound. To build FELT DULCITONE a layer of felt carpet was squashed under the rudimentary hammer mechanism of an unsuspecting 120-year-old Dulcitone. Every note recorded at 10 velocity levels with 4 round robins. Binaural recording with Jecklin Disc and Rode NT55 mics.

Garden string plus garnular viola = Kontakt sample library CLOUD VIOLA 2 £40 Viola × green garden twine ÷ √ (granular oscillator³ × reverb) = CLOUD VIOLA² 1 Kontakt .nki instrument 60 snapshots 2.5GB download 3GB compressed sample pool for FULL version of Kontakt 5.6.8 or above add to cart The DNA of a viola, but not a viola anymore. CLOUD VIOLA² is a deeply multi sampled hybrid Kontakt instrument that takes a humble 17th century classical stringed instrument and lovingly shoves it into the modern world. CLOUD VIOLA² uses unlikely playing techniques and sampling magic to create new tones and textures. From cinematic pads to strange leads she is perfect as a standalone signature instrument or for adding interesting texture to a 'proper' orchestra. Using midi controllers and DAW automation she can be played with organic expressiveness and genuine emotion. CLOUD VIOLA² is completely in her comfort zone in cutting-edge electronica, epic trailer massiveness, quirky sound design and delicate contemporary classical. See also CLOUD BASS and CLOUD CELLO How? A Cloud Viola happens when you ditch the conventional viola bow and look for something else to stimulate the strings. After much experimentation I discovered that a ball of course green garden string sounded 'best', but stringing a standard bow with garden twine doesn't work, you'd need an impossible 10-metre bow to play a smooth note (I know it's impossible because I tried). After many experiments a retractable dog lead came to the rescue. It can hold long lengths of twine under tension and when fixed to one end of the studio it can allow the twine to be drawn evenly over the viola string. Another week perfecting the art of dogbowing and recording hundreds and hundreds of dogbowed, accented and col legno notes it was all starting to make sense and fortunately sounding pretty good too. The final step was to push each note 100% wet through a bespoke swirly setting on my Strymon Big Sky reverb pedal, and then do the same thing all over again with different settings for 200% wetness. Voila the Cloud Viola ! mid Eight deeply sampled articulations through eight 'oscillators' Accent Bow: bowed with a real bow, five round robins per note - recorded with large diaphragm valve condenser mic Grain Bow: bowed with a real bow, five round robins per note - played through granular oscillator with XY pad control of playback speed and grain size Palm Mute: plucked and muted with palm of the hand - AKG C414 large diaphragm condenser mic- five round robins per note with up to 22 levels of velocity per note Grain Legno: Latin for 'gently thwacked with the back of the bow', five round robins per note - played through granular oscillator with XY pad control of playback speed and grain size Black Twine Bow: bowed with five meters of coarse green garden string, five round robins per note - AKG C414 large diaphragm condenser mic White Twine Bow: bowed with five meters of coarse green garden string, five round robins per note - recorded AKG C411 contact mic Grain Cloud: Black Twine Bow recorded 100% wet through Strymon Big Sky hardware reverb - played through granular oscillator with XY pad control of playback speed and grain size White Cloud: six selectable multi-sampled and heavily processed viola sample sets - cloud, sad cloud, bit cloud, vox cloud, jitter cloud, pain cloud Cloud Viola 2 for Kontakt VST by Sou Cloud Viola 2 for Kontakt VST by Sound Dust Cloud Viola 2 for Kontakt VST by Sou Cloud Viola 2 for Kontakt VST by Sound Dust Cloud Viola 2 for Kontakt VST by Sou Cloud Viola 2 for Kontakt VST by Sound Dust.

"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...
