Two instruments from different centuries that share DNA. Both are fake 'pianos' that make a noise using a keyboard and a piece of tuned metal. THE ARTICULATIONS Fender Rhodes MK 1 - only 50 or so years old, so the youngster here - bright and beautiful Dulcitone 1884 - an early model of Thomas Machels 'portable' piano - crude and gorgeous Dulcitone 1900 - range lowered by an octave - dank bell like vibes Nord Modular G2 Rhodes - Ok, this is a faked fake piano but it adds a lovely warmth and depth that complements the 'authentic' fake pianos. WHATS GREAT The joy of the PLATO engine is that like it's namesake (or Norman Bates, Walter White, The Incredible Hulk etc) it has at least two sides. Yes, it can be a fantastic 'normal' Dulcitone or EP, but you can also take those haunting bell like tones on the journey of a life time.

Like its philosophical namesake, PLATO is open minded and inspirational, but at it's core it is dark, very dark : ). It is a groundbreaking ideas machine for inventing your own genres. Deep cinematica, beautiful ambient dronescapes, skittering minimalism, melodic rhythm shadows and seductively brutalized grind is in there along with the gorgeous tones of hybrid acoustics rubbing along nicely together. PLATO is built around a network of subtle to dramatic interactions; sounds, frequencies, transients, levels and effects can all interact with each other in surprising ways.

Merge and melt the unexpected into ravishing new music with a daft grin on your face.... This really has been a labour of love and is based on two interlocking thoughts. what if everything had an effect on everything? what if every note could do different stuff ? So... the signal flow gubbins is like a wobbly Jenga, add a bit more of one thing and the centre might not hold - but in a good way. The 4GB of pianos, strings and flutes are semi irrelevant, they are sonic placeholders with a job to do in different parts of the frequency and transient spectrums. They all get smurged (I just invented that word) through the effects and feedback/forward loops inside and come out changed, changed for the better. a different sequencer on every note leads to endless possibilities: rate, steps, swing and randomness can be different for each - or they can all be the same. It became too overwhelming to make snapshots because with that much freedom when do you stop ? So there are 100 starting points to kick you into your own explorations.

Yes, it's another electric piano, but this one is different (obvs), it sounds 'like' an electric piano, it carries the memory of electric piano-ness, but it also has its own unique sound that means it can function like an electric piano but without carrying the usual electric piano baggage. At the rougher, more 'organic' end of the electric piano spectrum, a real fully working Wurlitzer is a rare and wonderful beast. This Wurlitzer 200 is particularly special, it belongs to ex Sheryl Crowe, Oasis and current Noel G keyboard player Mikey Rowe, and it can be heard on records by all of the above. It also has the rare tremolo speed mod, so it does things that most Wurlis can only dream of. Wurlitzer Toolkit is recorded/misused in 4 different ways and then poured into 4 different instances of an expanded version of the DRIFT engine. It emanates beautiful organic textures and mellow cinematics with a subtle suggestion of a charming and melancholic nostalgia. This could be your new secret weapon for cool, edgy, cinematic, organic and otherworldly gorgeousness (that sounds a bit electric piano-ish.) *Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, The Beatles, Beck, Queen, Supertramp, Steely Dan etc etc... mid the INSTRUMENTS FOUR WAYS OF MESSING UP A CLASSIC BAD WURLITZER Pushed through the terrible live pitch shifting algorithm of an AKAI MPC 100.

Beautiful and brutalised bpm synced violin bowing. A sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt. STRING POOL £40 A beautifully played clean and brutally textured violin bowing instrument with BPM synced mod wheel speed control - play a note and move the mod wheel to bow faster or slower, push down on your keyboard for aftertouch controlled volume swelling. Versions for Kontakt 5 & Kontakt 6 2.5GB download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8 and/or 6.1.1 add to cart The design process of STRINGPOOL meant forcing virtuoso violinist Sophia Bartlette into many painful days of tortuous sampling (nobody really enjoys sampling - don't ever let them make you think otherwise). While I quietly slurped coffee Sophia teased hours of beautifully lyrical long bowed single notes from her 200-year-old instrument. For every note, four different bowing speeds with a hint of vibrato. She truly suffered for our art. From these hours of recordings I created hundreds of seamless, clean single note loops and an alternative set of 'treated' samples mangled through tape, valves and Sound Dust malarkey. Then it was all poured into a complex Kontakt engine with a simple interface and wealth of expressive possibilities. What I really love about String Pool is how naturally expressive it is in a way I haven't encountered before. Having volume swells on tap through aftertouch and being able to switch bowing speeds on the fly allows for really sensitive and reactive programming. Add the effects on the XY in to taste and get weird - Marcus Thorne Bagala - composer - This American Life, Conviction: American Panic, Dress Codes String Pool String Pool String Pool String Pool 1/5 mid The true joy of STRINGPOOL is that you can morph in real-time through the BPM synced bowing tempo divisions with the modwheel (or CC1) while also using your keyboard aftertouch (or a CC of your choice) for volume expression to create realistically human violining sounds. Also, every control can be automated in your DAW or midi learned for unrealistically human violining sounds. STRINGPOOL may never sound 'quite' as good as Sophia in full flow - but for MUCH less pain you can get a little of her magic and a little bit of Sound Dust magic on your tracks.

Then add other notes for more synced stem variations and more morphing. Bottom part of the keyboard is where the booms live and things get 'lighter' as you move up the keyboard for 6 octaves. 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 - all perfectly synced with your track. Every control can be DAW automated or midi learned for complex processing and jamming.

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.

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.'

Seven velocity layers of binaural recording add up to around 500mb of samples. There's a wee video of her in action which tells you more about her than can be put into words. Originally designed and manufactured in Scotland in the 1800's, and with allegedly only 2000 in existence the 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. A bit like a Fender Rhodes electric piano without the electric bits, and has a very lovely woody, clonky glockenspiel/celesta kind of sound. dulcitone 1900² dulcitone 1900² dulcitone 1900² dulcitone 1900² 1/6 down What's Inside ?
