new upload: Kontakt Patch Plucked Knifes

Plucked Knifes - 10,5 MB unzipped - Kontakt 4 - 29 samples (48 Khz/24 Bit/mono) compressed using Kontakt 4's .ncw format - Price: 4,50 €
This patch is made of 29 samples I made by "plucking" different sized kitchen knifes on various surfaces like a wooden table, a stool and a plastic surface. For a better overview the different articulations are grouped only on the white keys starting on C0 reaching to F4 so some keys are not mapped.
Keyswitches:
2 variations are available:
Normal plucking triggered by keyswitch A0
Timestretched plucking triggered by keyswitch B0
Controls:
The Modwheel controls the decay phase. With the Modwheel down the samples always play in one shot mode, the entire sample is played. Turning up the wheel shortens the decay phase.
The pitchbender is set to +/- 12 semitones When timestretched plucking mode is selected Midi Control CC#21 controls the sample speed, so turning it up will slow down the sample and Midi Control CC#22 controls the grain size. Pressing the sustain pedal will reverse all samples.
A short Stereo Delay in the Insert FX section adds some stereo space, bypass it if you prefer external Reverb and FX. This patch is great for Sound Design and music alike, I also used these samples with great success on some cartoon/animation film productions.
The demo was produced with 3 instances of this patch within Logic, what you hear are only the ouptputs of Kontakt, no post processing was applied.
