new upload: Kontakt Patch Piano Destruction - Spadehacks

New upload today is a patch for Kontakt 4:
Piano Destruction - Spadehacks - 23,9 MB unzipped - Kontakt 4 - 5 samples (48Khz/24Bit/stereo) spilt up into 93 segments - compressed using Kontakt 4's .ncw format - 1 Impulse Response (wav) - Price: 4,50 €
This patch is made from recordings of destroying the inside of an upright piano with a metal spade, hitting the the strings and resonance body and smashing the hammers. I truncated each spadehack inside Kontakt and mapped the single segments over 7,5 octaves ranging from C0-G#8. The Modwheel controls the decay of the sounds, many samples also have zone envelopes controlling the fade out to eliminate clicks. There is a random pitch shifting script from the Factory Library ranging from 0-24 semitones so the higher the range the more pitch-randomness will occur. Additionally the Pitchbender is set to +/- 12 semitones. Pressing the sustain pedal will reverse each sample/segment, the sustain function is deactivated. In the Convolution engine there is an IR made with Aether Reverb creating a nice space . The Demo was played using the Pitchbender, the Reverse function and the Random pitch script by tweaking a Controller knob inside Logic assigned to the pitch range of the script. The Demo displays the Kontakt Ouputs only, no additional post processing was applied. Happy hacking!
