VSL Violin Ensemble KONTAKT

P2P | KONTAKT | 4.70 GB

The violin is the soprano instrument of the violin family (violin, viola, cello). It consists of three main parts, the body, the neck and the head, which are composed of a total of 80 separate components. The body not only gives the violin its characteristic appearance but also determines the sound quality as it is the instrument’s resonator. The neck plays an important role in playing technique and is about 13 cm long and angled slightly back from the body. The circumference is the same along its entire length which makes it easier for the left hand to slide up and down to different positions). The head, with the pegbox and scroll, is a continuation of the neck. The pegs, which are used to adjust the tension of the strings, are found in the four peg holes in the pegbox: the instrument is tuned by turning the pegs. The head is rounded off by the scroll.

PVC Beatbox Ensemble KONTAKT

FANTASTiC | 08 June 2016 | 35 MB

The PVC Beatbox Ensemble was created by assembling a vocal ensemble and vocalizing through long, elaborately hand-built pvc pipe “trumpets” to create drones, dirges, booms, horn blasts, drum kit-like percussive chuffs, thumps, hisses, pops and steam effects. We gathered our usual ensemble percussion crew together in a large “epic” glass and tile hall with lush natural reverberation, assembling strange maze-like tangles of pipe using a ton of plastic PVC tubing and fittings and then attempting to beatbox through it all. The best word to describe the result would be STEAM DRUMS.

Miroslav Vitous Orchestra

Woodwind Brass Ensemble Version 2.0 EMU

Team CHiC | 2003/05/05 | 392.36 MB

One might say to die for, but perhaps it would be more advisable to stick around and enjoy these first-rate sounds, created by the ex-bassist of Weather Report and an unnamed European orchestra. Digitally recorded in stereo throughout, the ensembles retain just the right amount of ‘hall’ in the sound. Expensive, but very good. The first version of this library had no loops, to the bemusement of keyboard players everywhere, but version 2.0 (reviewed here) contains looped sounds. However, Miroslav Vitous himself considers the unlooped samples superior in quality and strongly urge-using them for mastering, which is fine as long as your composition doesn’t employ any very long notes!

Bamboo Stick Ensemble KONTAKT

Team DYNAMiCS | Apr 2009 | 153.08 MB

The Bamboo Stick Ensemble is a powerful display of how far you can take a simple musical ingredient like bamboo poles, which provides a powerful clack sounds when they are smashed together and … serves as great tuned based instrument when (mis)treated the right way. Our Bamboo Stick Ensemble was recorded using a variety of 6′ long 2″ diameter Chinese bamboo poles. We were blown by the power of these sticks, since they made sounds we have never remotely encountered before. The impacts are powerful and sharp. They compliment our Tom Ensembles perfectly. The sustains were created by grinding the poles against wet and dry tile. Sometimes shrill, sometimes brassy and always freakin’ creepy. Great for horror and dark, dramatic ethnic scoring.
