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.

dulcitone 1900² £25 The lovely younger sister to Dulcitone1884² , with a slightly jinglier and more even tone which really compliments the butch woody clunk of the 1884 version. Recorded binaurally with 7 layers of velocity. 500mb download for FULL version of Kontakt 4 or above. add to cart mid Think of dULCITONE1900² as Keira Knightly and Dulcitone1884² as Kristin Scott Thomas.....or maybe whatshisface in Twilight compared to George Clooney. 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 ?

SHIPS PIANO³ £30 Ships piano + school grand + deviously altered upright x Kontakt scripting = a very nice piano indeed. 37 snapshots 400mb download Satie-anator for FULL version of Kontakt 5.5.1 or above. add to cart Ships Piano³ takes the original acclaimed Sound Dust Ships Piano sample instrument and adds two more really great sounding character pianos to the mix. 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.

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.

A minimal interface beneath which lurks a maximalists desire to warp, bend and squash millions of new sounds into the aether. Whereas DRIFT001 was interested in impossible keyboard tones that could be warped into strange variations, DRIFT002 looks at things from the other end of the telescope. Starting with rich and complex hybrid instruments made from combinations of analogue, real world and purely digital sources, DRIFT002 oozes deep with undulating filigree and patina. Long, slow evolving patchscapes and gnarled polyrhythmic cinematica can easy by morphed into glistening keys, phosphorous leads or dark, dark basses. New to DRIFT002 is a three way BPM synced tremolo system which adds extra movement and throb. Control and automate three custom volume LFOs to run at different speeds and different depths to build intriguing rhythmic shimmy…and who wouldn't want that ? 'Morning Pendle, I am loving Drift 002 .

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...
