    Cloud cello £35 Cello+ twine × reverb = Cloud Cello ​ Two instrument variations - solo & ensemble versions 1.6GB download 50 themed instrument presets (.nki's) each with mod wheel patch morphing for variation 38 extra patches for Omnisphere 2 using Cloud Cello samples for FULL version of Kontakt 5.5.1 or above. add to cart Cloud Cello? Cloud Cello is the big brother (or sister, if you like) of the Cloud Viola . She's a deeply multi sampled hybrid Kontakt sample library created from an ordinary 17th century classical stringed instrument, but played and recorded in an extra-ordinary way. Cloud Cello opens up new orchestral-ish, cinematic tones and textures that sound both familiar and alien....in a good way. There are also 38 free Cloud Cello patches for Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2 included with the Kontakt version. mid Cloud Cello for Kontakt VST Cloud Cello for Kontakt VST by Sound Dust Cloud Cello for Kontakt VST How to make a Cloud Cello Cloud Cello for Kontakt VST Cloud Cello for Kontakt VST by Sound Dust Cloud Cello for Kontakt VST Cloud Cello for Kontakt VST by Sound Dust 1/6 How? So, you take an unsuspecting cello, remove all the strings except one and place it in a stand. Instead of a conventional bow, use something with a bit more texture and bite - in this case, a ball of coarse garden string sounded best. 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 to make one!). After many experiments and cups of coffee, a retractable dog lead, an elaborate pulley system and a classic vintage fishing reel came to the rescue. This system can hold long lengths of string under tension and be drawn evenly over the cello string to produce a usable tone. Next step is to rig up some suitable mics. A contact mic near the bridge gave good body, and a large diaphragm condenser near the string picked up the 'grist'. Then using a capo for accurate tuning, thousands of passes were recorded to get enough samples for 5 x round robins per note plus conventionally bowed accents and col legno notes for extra flavour. The final step is to form the Clouds by pushing 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 a different setting for 200% wetness. What's Inside? Two instrument variations - solo & ensemble versions. 2GB of 24bit samples (uncompressed). 50 themed instrument presets (.nki's) each with mod wheel patch morphing for variation. 38 extra patches for Omnisphere 2 using Cloud Cello samples.

  • Orgone 2 | sound-dust

    Anchor 1 orgone 2 £35 An organic analogic synth beastie. What happens when you build an organ out of classic synth parts ? ​ 11 classic synth oscillators 1.2GB of 24bit multi samples for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8 or above. add to cart Orgone began as an experiment around the idea of "what would a Hammond organ with sawtooth waves sound like ?" and slowly grew into a huge modular machine that combines multi sampled waveforms from several classic synths into a 1GB+ Kontakt sample instrument that goes way beyond the possibilities of any of the originals. ​ THE SYNTHS Moog Voyager sawtooth and square waves - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note. Dsi Pro 2 narrow square waves - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note. Yamaha CS15 square waves - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note. Roland SH101 saw tooth + sub waves - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note. Moog unfiltered noise - 24bit, 8 second samples of every note (which is probably overkill - but hey) mid Orgone 2 an unusual drawbar organ for Kontakt VST Orgone 2 an unusual drawbar organ for Kontakt VST Orgone 2 - an unusual drawbar organ for Kontakt VST Orgone 2 an unusual drawbar organ for Kontakt VST 1/4 ORGONE 2 uses the basic additive architecture of the drawbar organ to create a deeply malleable instrument with huge polyphony and a complex but relatively simple operating system. It then adds the filters, envelopes, lfos etc of subtractive synthesis to each individual drawbar. It's like having 4 classic 11 oscillator synths in one modular box. ​ Because the quirks and character of the original ageing synths (30 plus years in the case of the CS15) have been retained Orgone has a living organic sound that can go to places other electronic instruments can only dream of. ​ This isn't another plastic EDM box...although it can do amazing thick creamy basses. Orgone is great for woozy string synth pads, throbby beat synced cinematic backdrops, gnarly "Frankie Teardrop" organs and 60s keyboards, ethereal theremins, evolving space drones and GREAT BIG ultra saw synth tones.

  • Pendleonium | sound-dust

    Pendleonium4 £35 Strange guitars, spring reverb, tape echo, vacuum tubes and a broken viola. Throbby pad heaven ​ 97 snapshots 6 x articulations 1.53GB download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or above. add to cart It is a Pendleonium and as such, it sounds like only a Pendleonium can. After a period of evolutionary development, the new PENDLEONIUM4 is here. The control panel has undergone a complete re-think. The new look is sharp and purposeful and the layout of instruments and functions is intuitive and user-friendly. A total of 6 sampled source instruments are arranged left to right across the main panel - two baritone guitars, two infinity guitars, Spring Viola and an additional instrument based on samples created with a vintage Roland Space Echo. Each individual source instrument comes with greatly enhanced editing tools, offering wave shape, ADSR, effects, and volume. To the right of the instrument panel is a dedicated editing bay offering yet more capability. Here you will find reverb and delay sends, reverb, rotor, EQ and dirt for gnarly lo-fi effects. A second interface window can be opened for velocity and round-robin. The best thing about the P4 though, is playing it. With its unique sounds and easy editing, The P4 is an absolute pleasure to play and tweak as you go. It must be stated that this instrument is not attempting to sound like anything else or even to offer any faithful reproduction of its source instruments. This is great! Went right into a cue. Thank you so much, great work as always. And I’ve used a ton of “Lost and Found” on the score to “Collateral Beauty”. Thanks for all the great stuff. Theodore (Teddy) Shapiro - composer : Ghostbusters, Zoolander, Trumbo, St. Vincent. PENDLEONIUM4 PENDLEONIUM4_GUBBINS PENDLEONIUM4_INSTRUMENTS PENDLEONIUM4 - a sample library for Kontakt VST - Strange guitars, spring reverb, tape echo, vacuum tubes and a broken viola. Throbby pad heaven. PENDLEONIUM4 1/6 mid Each snapshot is like a composition, just sit back and listen to the mysterious and beautiful musical layers unfold. Jonathan Whitehead - composer : Brass Eye, Black Books, Nathan Barley, Mount Pleasant The P4 excels at creating complex sounds, pianos, strings, smooth synth-like pads, rumbles, and unfathomable noises. At lower registers the Pendleonium4 can produce seismic movement and deep rich textures. In high registers it can be configured to produce sounds like ripples passing through mercury. The P4 truly inspires. During an afternoon creating sounds with the PENDLEONIUM4, I found myself playing funky 70’s freak out soul and Victorian fairground music alongside electronica and environmental hardcore. The instrument’s ability to seamlessly merge organic and electronic elements in rhythmic time kept me playing for hours. The echo and sustain editing controls allow for some truly wonderful development when notes are held. Beside pitch and mod wheels, if your keyboard features aftertouch you are in for an additional treat. Set up to control tuning, the extra expression this allows while playing is superb. To sum up, the Pendleonium4 is a prime example of what makes the Sound Dust world a place of wonder and discovery. The instrument’s sound, versatility and editing capabilities should make it a first choice for those wishing to create highly original music and sound design.
