One master NKI instrument bank in open Kontakt format.Ambiences created from the source material.FX (includes mutes, scrapes and other special effects).We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started! The Reverb effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The interface is rounded-out by our modular FX rack panel, with 18 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 10 available slots, in any order that you wish. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. We've also included 20 unique sound-designed custom FX presets to give you lots of creative options. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more. The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. The strums are tuned and spread across the entire keyboard, providing deep, droning sounds in the low end and sharp, mandolin-like plucks in the high end. By recording several different strumming speeds for both the fifth and the unison strumming articulations, this library allows you to create realistic sounding strums by adjusting the speed in real-time. The fifth articulation was tuned with strings in unison and in fifths, similar to the Pancham-Kharaj tuning popularized by Ravi Shankar. The unison articulation was tuned with strings in unison and in several octaves to give a very full sound. An onboard "Speed" slider (MIDI assignable and defaulted to the modwheel) allows you to sculpt the speed of the individual strum from very tight, fast strums to slower, plucky strums. Two main strumming tunings are included, a fifth and octave/unison. The Bizarre Sitar includes chromatic plucks as well as strumming articulations. Although soft-spoken and possessing fewer strings than normal (5 main and 6 sympathetic), all this "baby" sitar needed was someone to listen closely. Intended as more decoration than instrument, we feel this little guy has been highly underestimated. Simply being small isn't bizarre by any means, but what is bizarre is how it can achieve such a lush, full-bodied sound while being so small. At just over 24" in length, however, this little beauty is barely half the size of a standard sitar. It has most of the elements found on any other sitar, with it's traditional gourd body, both main playable strings and sympathetic resonating strings, parda (adjustable curved frets), kunti (tuning pegs), dandi (neck), ghoraj (main bridge) all complete with orante hand-painted accents. Bizarre Sitar may not seem so strange at first glance.
