new upload: Kontakt Patches Pot Percussion

Pot Percussion - 13 MB unzipped - Multisampled Steel Pot - Kontakt 4 - 49 samples (48 Khz/24 Bit/mono and stereo) compressed using Kontakt 4's .ncw format - 1 Impulse Response Sample (wav) - Price: 4 €
So I multisampled this unbreakable cooking pot from my kitchen as it has such a nice sound reminding me of Gamelan Percussion. I used a wooden cooking spoon as the drumstick to keep it in the family, recording was done with a Neumann U87 run through RME FF 800 into Logic. There are up to 4 velocity layers and 10xRound Robin meaning that hitting the same key will trigger 10 different samples consecutively, until the first sample plays again. There are 7 different patches/nkis available:
Pot Percussion tuned Gamelan - 1 velocity layer / 10xRound Robin - Range: C2-C5
Pot Percussion tuned Gamelan 2 vel lay - 2 velocity layers / 10xRound Robin - Range: C2-C5
Pot Percussion tuned Gamelan 3 vel lay - 3 velocity layers / 10xRound Robin - Range: C2-C5
Pot Percussion tuned Gamelan 4 vel lay - 4 velocity layers / 10xRound Robin - Range: C2-C5
Pot Percussion tuned Gamelan 4 vel lay AET - 4 velocity layers / 10xRound Robin - Range: C2-C5
This patches utilizes Kontakt 4's AET velocity morphin to smoothen the transitions between the layers - more CPU intensive - can cause some crackling depending on how many notes/how fast you play
Pot Percussion tuned Gamelan 4 vel lay TM - 4 velocity layers / 10xRound Robin - Range: C2-C5
In this patch all samples play back in Time Machine 2 mode yielding very nice results. Control the sample speed with the Pitchbender, turning it up shortens the samples, turning it down makes them longer sounding more like strange Bells.
Pot Percussion untuned All - All samples untuned - pitch follow is turned of so you have 2 octaves of 4-velocity-layered Pot samples from C2-B3 all playing the originally sampled pitches and you have 2 octaves of a multisampled "Clang" sounds ranging from C4-C6 produced by hitting the side of the Pot very hard. The Clang sound has 9xRound Robin. This patch uses a random pitch script from the Factory Libary so you can randomize the pitches up to +/- 2 octaves. The Pitchbender is set to +/- 12 semitones.
All patches have a random panning function controlled by the Modwheel. Modwheel down plays all samples in the middle, move the Modwheel up to distribute them randomly in the stereo field, wheel fully up yields extreme panning effects. In all Patches the Convolution engine holds a nice Impulse Rspone made with Aether Reverb.
The Demo was produced with 3 instances of Kontakt inside Logic using the patches Pot Percussion tuned Gamelan 4 vel lay - Pot Percussion untuned All - Pot Percussion tuned Gamelan 4 vel lay TM - no post processing applied so what you hear is just the Outsputs of the Kontakt instances.
