  • Dulcitonium | sound-dust

    The fading ghosts of ancient instruments. A sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt sampler. dulcitonium £40 The world's first and only convolution dulcitone.... An ancient and rare keyboard invigorated with nifty digital witchcraft - and ghosts. 70 snapshots 6 x articulations 2GB download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or above. add to cart DULCITONIUM takes the gorgeous woody jingle of the dulcitone and transforms it into an extended dusty swoon that goes to infinity and beyond. It starts with ancient keyboards (see Dulcitone 1884 and dULCITONE1900 ) - with a Dulcitone 1884 through tape, a stretched Dulcitone 1900, and a Dulcitone 1900 clunk layer; but it doesn't stop there, that would be too easy. It's also about the ghosts... The ghosts are dragged into this spiritual plane by treating each dulcitone sample as an impulse response for a convolution reverb* Load a sample into a convolution reverb plug in, send in 20 second bursts of Moog Voyager white noise and record the result. Do that for every single note/sample and several weeks later you have a collection of dusty, metallic bowed sounding, infinite dulcitone-ness. * Basically, a convolution reverb takes an input signal (the sound to be reverberated) and processes it with the sound of an actual or virtual acoustic space to create the illusion that the input was recorded in that space. The sound of the acoustic space is captured in what is called an impulse response (IR).

  • BLISS MACHINE | sound-dust

    300 goregous guitar loops from the nimble fingers of super guitarist Andy Britton. A BPM synced sample library for Kontakt VST LOOP POOL: bliss machine £50 An infinity of gorgeous guitar texture 288 pitched and synced guitar loops 50 presets for Kontakt 5 + 6 1 GB total size Guitars from Mars + time funnel = Bliss for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8 and/or 6 ADD TO CART LOOP POOL : BLISS MACHINE is a gorgeous guitar texture device. Always synced to the BPM of your DAW, you can intuitively trigger, time slip and morph pitched samples with mod wheel and keyboard to create beautiful cathedrals of sound or raucous chunky riffery . mid Super composer/producer/guitarist Andrew Britton built a stunning set of guitar loops for major, minor and single notes in every key. Four version of each are pushed into the LOOP POOL engine that uses modwheel control to morph through synced variations with control of playback speed per layer. Sound Dust couldn't resist and mangled the original loops into the remix versions, which add extra flavour. Reverse control flips the loops while retaining sync and the notelock control spreads one set of samples across the whole keyboard for stranger mutations. XY pad has quick control of convolution reverb depth, EQ and tremolo. Pretty much everything can be automated for easy control of complex variations. 'Holy cow ! This is a Fripp/Eno machine, no pussyfooting about it! Most stunning Kontakt thing I've ever laid hands on...' 'Absolutely LOVELY - GENIUS, akin to every other instrument you masterfully create.

  • Synthfundibulum #3 | sound-dust

    A time funnel sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt made from rare soviet synths and cunning multi sequencers. soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM #3 £60 Bend and twist arcane analogue synthesis into new & unexpected shapes. The third in the devious Sound Dust series of time/mind-bending Kontakt instruments, hand sculpted from 7 rare & idiosyncratic soviet synthesizers. Character and wonk are our friends - synths can be organic! 1 Kontakt .nki instrument 250 snapshots 2.6GB download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8 or above add to cart Soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3 - is a new member of the INFUNDIBULUM family, the range of instruments built for polyrhythmic time funnelling, happenstance and above all fun. This time we have a sound set created in a collaboration with Armenian composer Art Tadevosyan and based on his collection of ageing soviet synth beauties. SSf3 offers 3 independent oscillator channels, each with a choice of 33 multi sampled sound sets made from 7 strange keyboards. A redesigned INFUNDIBULUM engine plays to the character of these synths. In addition to the original cunning multi-arp system Soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3 has new filter sequencing, 10 new soviet reverb impulses and new insert effects. Packed with character and possibility with an organic plastic flavour Soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3 is an infinity of analogue that frankly you will never hear anywhere else. ART TADEVOSYAN - the ex shredder with amazing synths Art Tadevosyan was born in the former Soviet Union country Armenia. By the age of 10 he was playing guitar with the intention to become the fastest guitar player on the planet. But things radically changed when at 15 he moved to Germany and was introduced to the music/art of John Cage, Stockhausen, Xenakis, Schaeffer and the cutting edge electronic music coming from mainland Europe. Art's sampling journey began with his first sampler the Akai S2000 and an Atari 1040 ST as sequencer. Since then, Art has played in a lot of bands, composed a huge amount of music for TV and Film, and recently released his new album under artist name Art Tendency. https://arttendency.bandcamp.com www.instagram.com/art_tadevosyanmusic INFUNDIBULUM and Soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM are not intended to authentically replicate any existing instruments - not even the instruments that they are made from. The many many sound combinations and sculpting permutations cry out for deep experimentation and sonic exploration. Sampling should be a playground and Soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM is a deep synthesis merry-go-round for fun and inspiration. mid sovietSYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3_1 soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3 - SOUND DUST sovietSYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3_2 soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3 - SOUND DUST sovietSYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3_RTFM_2 soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3 - SOUND DUST sovietSYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3_1 soviet SYNTHFUNDIBULUM#3 - SOUND DUST 1/5 What's Inside? 1 Kontakt .nki instrument 250 themed snapshots...but Infundibulum is all about tweaking really, these will just get you in the ballpark 2.6GB download (from 3GB compressed files) MULTI-ARP 3 independent multifunction arp contraptions with gate, chord and 10 other arp modes Adjustable step lengths from 1 to 64 per multi-arp Adjustable step rate from 1/128 to whole note with triplet variations plus modem, geiger and meltdown modes per multi-arp Swing, offset, decay and pitch control per multi-arp Filter sequencer...
