FX Library. We are proud to announce the latest release of our Artist Series instruments – Steampunk – featuring sound design created by Kyle Nicely. Each Artist Series release will feature one of our composers/sound designers who will create most or all of the samples themselves.
Crafted entirely from raw, organic recordings, Steampunk offers something truly unique to productions of all genres. Clocks, cranks, levers, metal objects, steam, engines, machine tools, ticking, clicking – all create beats and patterns that are not only unique, but also easy to use and implement into your compositions.
Patterns give you a 16-step sequencer, where each step can be loaded with a different sample from one of 5 categories (and almost 350 individual samples) of sounds: clicky, mechanical, watery, tonal and metallic. Each step can be adjusted for volume, panning, duration and various settings, which opens up endless possibilities and allows for direct sync with the various timing parameters of your DAW.
- Thousands of unique pattern combinations are accessible and easy to create
- 16-step sequencer with variable active step count
- Built-in pattern menu to help you get started quickly
- Unique organic sources
- Instrument-level randomization capabilities that let you randomize all 16 sources with all sound categories or limit them to specific combinations
- Keyboard set up to use one key for automatic pattern playback and 16 more keys to let you manually play your own pattern as a set with 16 steps loaded
- Step source selection, randomization, volume, mute and pan
- Step pitch change by +3/-3 octaves (adjustable in semitones)
- Global effects including distortion, delay (tempo sync optional) and reverb with reverse capability for unexpected and unique combinations
Strokes gives you 80 different whistling effects created on the original based on organic recordings, and nearly 350 different one-shot samples, combined in our three-layer engine to generate hits and effects. Play the hit or any of the whistling effects programmed to automatically play the hit at the end of the whistle. Create endless hit combinations, from subtle to absolutely devastating.
