PLANKTON DRUMMER Award winning harmonic drum machine* £60 72 tuned drum instruments - acoustic & electronic classics A complex multi sequencer per note FX sequence lanes per note Scale and key quantizer with unique quantized pitch wheel Hard to explain - a JOY to use for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8 and above ADD TO CART mid First and foremost, PLANKTON DRUMMER is a unique drum device packed with really great sounds. It excels in quickly inspiring new rhythms from a wide variety of classic and unique sounds. 72 instruments, over 3000 samples from C lassic drum machines (including the Roland 909 and MACHINEDRUM of Orbital ), beautifully recorded acoustic drum kits and a fascinating gamut of unlikely wild card sounds . The PLANKTON DRUMMER magic is in the unique plankton sequencing system. 12 keys with their own independent sequencer to trigger sounds and FX THE SOUNDS - and where to find them * A HARMONIC DRUM MACHINE I don't think anyone has tried this before, it's pretty exciting - here's how it works... All 72 sounds in PLANKTON DRUMMER have the fundamental note tuned as closely as possible to something that resembles a useful pitch. This isn't an exact science because snares, high hats etc have a lot of complex harmonics bouncing around - it's do-able, but tricky. Electronic components are a bit more open to being kicked into shape. So, the C5 BOOM key is loaded with electronic kick sounds that are tuned to C, the D5 DOOF key is loaded with acoustic kicks that are tuned (if possible) to D, the B5 FULL KIT key is loaded with full acoustic and electronic drum kits that are all tuned (if possible) to a B etc... Set key to C# and scale to Hungarian Gypsy and those Cs will play as C#, D stays where it is and B becomes a C - told you it was exciting : ) Play the C5 BOOM key and the sequencer and FX that are specific to that note are opened, you can rummage around to your hearts content and not affect other notes. Hit FX LANES to control FX with a sequencer With BEND ON the sequenced notes, will move through the notes of the chosen scale/key - or not : ) VEL DEPTH controls how much affect the green velocity lane has on volume. Right click to learn and use a midi controller to create pattern nuance and drum rolls it's not an exact science PLANKTON DRUMMER is above all playful and intuitive, it quickly helps you develop unexpected and original ideas. Combine the kick of a Roland 909 with a flabby Ludwig snare, percussion from the OPTIGAN and modular high hats. Quickly load a Reggaeton kick pattern and play it against the snare pattern of '50 ways to leave your lover ' with trap hi-hats. Quantize the pitch to A# Bebop minor - THIS IS ALL POSSIBLE! 'Underneath the Kontakt exterior lies one of the most creative drum products that we’ve encountered. It’s perfect for more basic duties, but its brilliance really shines bright as you begin to explore its hidden depths.'

Modular Chaos Engine#2.1-evolved £25 An analogue chaotic drum machine for a chaotic analogue world 1500+ original 24bit samples for FULL version of Kontakt 5.5.1 or above. add to cart It's probably fairly obvious by the blueness and the title that this machine is based on the strange and rather wonderful analogue/digital masterpiece that is Dave Smiths' Evolver. I LOVE this synth, in a sterile world it oozes personality.

Modular Chaos Engine#1.1-Found £25 A found sound drum machine 700+ binaural 'found' 24bit samples 200mb download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.5.1 or above. add to cart mid For the past 10 years or so I've always carried some kind of portable recording device and a pair of OKM in ear microphones around with me and kept a kind of aural diary of great sounding things and great sounding places. I've made literally gazillions of recordings in places all over this side of the world, and like most diaries these recordings have mainly been sitting in dark cupboards waiting for someone to rediscover them... The Modular Chaos Engine is the perfect repository for 785 of them. I've selected the most usefully percussive, clangy, bangy, thumpy, boomy, itchy, scratchy, thwacky and whacky, added a really powerful sequencing engine and made a "found sound" drum machine. Modular Chaos Engine #1 - a found sound drum machine for Kontakt VST Modular Chaos Engine #1 - a found sound drum machine for Kontakt VST Modular Chaos Engine #1 - a found sound drum machine for Kontakt VST Modular Chaos Engine #1 - a found sound drum machine for Kontakt VST 1/3 I've also recorded a few more sounds to compliment the "kit" and make it a great resource for building simple or complex rhythms quickly and intuitively. So you can use anything from a grunting pig, to a firework display, to me stamping on the stage at Glyndebourne Opera House as your "kick" drum and combine it with a "snare" made from a Ladyshave mixed with a walk through deep snow, and a high hat made from crackling onion skins or a wobbly horse fence. There are unthinkable amounts of sound possibilities lurking in there. What's Inside? Boom Engine page - 12 user programmable, key triggered patterns with 12 tracks per pattern.

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. Dean- Quietland What's Inside?

saxomaphonium £40 Saxophones + harmoniums = SAXOMAPHONIUM 55 snapshots 6 x articulations 2.6GB download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or above. add to cart Look, I know everyone hates saxophones. And with good reason. Excluding Colin Stetsons amazing work, and Tom Waits of course, I also tend toward hating on saxophones myself. But is it really fair to judge an instrument by its past misdemeanours ? Can the sax be rehabilitated and made sexy again ? Here at Sound Dust we say HELL YES! So, SAXOMAPHONIUM is a hybrid Kontakt instrument hewn from layers of baritone and alto sax plus two ancient wind powered reed organs. It takes un-cool elements, records them nicely and then re-imagines them into something entirely new.
