Kontakt Library Beautiful Beds released on patchpool

Kontakt 4 - 586,1 MB unzipped - the 36 samples 70 seconds each / not looped (48Khz/24Bit/stereo) are compressed using Kontakt 4's .ncw format - Price: 9,95 €
For this library I chromatically sampled 3 different chordal textures made made with my own patches in Absynth 5, Zebra 2, Alchemy and Reaktor's Metaphysical Function. Each texture is triggered by a keyswitch, texture 1 is a major 7/9 chord spread over 3 ocatves, texture 2 is a minor 7/9 chord and texture 3 is a sus7 chord (so it's neither major or minor as it doesn't use thirds). I sampled each texture for 70 seconds for each chromatic note, the samples are not looped. There is a customized Midi script available and you can determine the sample start point with the Modwheel.
There are 4 patches available, Beautiful Beds All chromatic combines all textures with keyswitches and there is a patch for each tonality in case you don't want to use all samples at once.
Mapping:
The original samples are mapped from C3-B3 and there are transposed samples mapped from C2-B2.
Keyswitches;
Texture 1 (major 7/9) is triggered by keyswitch C1
Texture 1 (minor 7/9) is triggered by keyswitch D1
Texture 1 (sus 7) is triggered by keyswitch E1
Controls:
The Modwheel determines the sample start point, Pitchbend is set to +/- 2 semitones for each texture
Midi Script:
There are 6 Midi Controller knobs
Knob 1 controls the Highpass FIlter Cutoff
Knob 2 controls the Highpass Resonance
Knob 3 controls the Lowpass FIlter Cutoff
Knob 4 controls the Lopwpass Resonance
Knob 5 controls the amount of the Phaser in the Send FX section
Knob 6 controls the speed of he phasing
You can get amazingly rich textures if you combine several textures that fit together tonally (or don't) and/or play them in octaves, You will hear this towards the end of the demo. Happy padding!
