Coming soon on patchpool: TripleX for ElectraX

Sound Bank TripleX for ElectraX:
This Bank will contain +100 patches for ElectraX by Tone2. I will focus on the 4 main categories Pads, Sequences, Soundscapes and percussive sounds. About half of the sounds will be sample based, using samples especially produced for this Bank. Lot's of resynthed waveforms will be used as well and I'm determined to coax sounds out of this complex synth which I haven't heard myself before. The unique Fractal Oscillators and Filters in ElectraX will be used extensively to create dense and fascinating electronic textures. Up to 4 layers per patch will make many of these patches sound TripleX.


Release date is planned around Octobre 20, the final price will be 29 €, you can pre-order this Bank now for 23 € and save +20%.

new Kontakt patch: Female Portato Vox RR6

Female Portato Vox RR6
Kontakt 4 - 17,1 MB unzipped - 48Khz/24Bit/stereo - 1 nki/Instrument - Price 5 €
72 samples (wav) - 3 Impulse Responses (wav)


This patch uses female vocal samples portato style which I recorded and produced with a professional vocalist for my Sound Bank Alchemistry Beyond. For this Instrument I cut up those samples into 72 single accents, 6 alternations per note (Round Robin), multisampled from D#2 - C#4, the lowest and highest samples have been extended to give you a playable range from C2-C5.

Controls
*There is a full envelope section with 4 control knobs for ADSR
*The Lowpassfilter has 2 knobs for Cutoff and Emphasis/Resonance
*The Velocity section lets you assign the velocity to the sample start point, the harder you play the further the sample start point will move to the right.
You can also assign velocity to the Filter Cutoff, in this case turn the Filter Cutoff down so that the velocity assignment becomes active/audible. There is another control for the amount of velocity applied to the amplitude.
*The Modwheel adds vibrato

FX section
In the lower part of the GUI you'll find an Equalizer with a bypass switch with 2 controls for Low and High Band, and a Convolution Reverb with a bypass switch with 3 controls for Dry - Wet amount and Size, You can choose between 3 Impulse Responses by clicking into the area above the size knob.

Time Machine Mode
There is a switch for Time Machine mode with a control knob for speed control, enabling that will also activate a slider for the Sample Start Point, I suggest to assign a Midi Controller to that slider by right clicking onto it. Stretch the samples to their extremes for otherworldy textures or freeze them with Speed set to 0% and then scroll through the sample with the sample start slider.

new Kontakt patch: Convoluted Scape



Convoluted Scape
Kontakt 4 - 133,4 MB unzipped - 48Khz/24Bit/stereo - 2 nkis/Instruments - 6 samples compressed using Kontakt 4's ncw format

>6 long samples I created by convoluting electronic textures with vocal and violin samples, using the electronic sounds as sources and the acoustic sounds as Impulse Responses, multisampled from C#1 - E5.

Instrument Convoluted Scape

Controls:

There is a Filter Section with Cutoff, Emphasis (Resonance), LFO-modulation amount and modulation speed for the Lowpass Filter

The Envelope section lets you control Attack and Release time

The Convolution Reverb section lets you choose between two Impulse Responses and gives you control over Size a well as Dry and Wet amount. There is also a bypass switch for the Convolution engine

The Modwheel controls the sample start point, turned fully up it moves the sample start by 85%.

Tip: While playing move the Modwheel before hitting the next key to determine a different start point for each note you play. Smoothen the Attack time to taste.


Instrument Convoluted Scape TM
This patch variation uses the samples in Kontakt's Tone Machine mode which can sound like a vocoder. In addition to the controls already mentioned, there is a Tone Machine section with a knob for sample speed and the amount/direction of LFO-controlled Formant modulation.

new Kontakt patch: Liquid

Liquid
Kontakt 4 - 92,3 MB unzipped - 48Khz/24Bit/stereo - 1 nki - Price: 6 €
6 samples compressed using Kontakt 4's ncw format


This patch uses 3 soundscapes (Filter Drops/Liquid Pad/Watersax) made with an array of softsynths, FX Plugs and some processed samples of my soprano sax playing. All 3 scapes have a reverbed counterpart, you can crossfade between the pairs with the Modwheel or the Dry/Wet-slider provided in the script. Switch between the sounds with keyswitches, the script lets you determine where the switches are located on the keyboard and in what range the sounds will play. You can reverse the sounds with the provided Reverse switch.
You can also determine the interpolation quality to reduce aliasing when playing extreme transpositions, if the HQI switch is set to "perfect" CPU usage is quite high.

More Controls:
*Envelope section with Attack and Release knobs
*Highpass Filter section with Cutoff, filter modulation (random LFO) and modulation speed
*EQ section with Frequency and Gain for Low and High Bands
