KONTAKT EXPERIENCE
Sonic Worlds
KONTAKT Experience is the perfect complement to KONTAKT 2. This essential expansion
pack is far more than just an arbitrary collection of samples. Using the new
features of KONTAKT 2, like scripting, convolution, surround, its new filters
as well as beat-, tone- and time-machine, KONTAKT Experience reveals a world
of creativity that fully exploits the potential within this immensely powerful
sampler. This exquisite sample library reproduces the characteristics of some
of the most popular contemporary hardware synthesizers and offers a wide range
of new scripts, loops, sounds and drum kits.
Expertly Crafted
KONTAKT Experience includes a total of 128 unique instruments divided into ten
categories. All instruments have been expertly crafted by renowned artists and
professional sound designers covering a wide range of musical styles. The instruments
are structured so that they are all highly intuitive and easy to use. New KONTAKT
scripts such as the loop designer and the drum computer afford incredible flexibility
and inject new life into standard instruments. Specialized vocal sounds, animated
drum kits, arpeggiated and modern lead synths as well as intricate construction
kits form an inspirational collection of new sounds.
Ten Categories
01 - Performances
Offers musical building blocks that lend themselves particularly well to laying
a foundation for a song. Full sets of loops anddrum patterns combined with a
melodic or harmonic instrument are included.
02 - Motion & Pads
A huge selection of slow ambient pads, based on largely synthetic samples. Heavy
use has been made of filtering, modulation and other effects, resulting in especially
lively and dynamic sounds.
03 - Vocalized
As the name suggest, the “Vocalized” category is dedicated to all
things vocal. Such features as the Time and Tone machines come into their own
here and produce some unique results.
04 - Harmonized
This “Harmonized” group of sounds contains instruments, such as
harmonized pianos, that make use of scripts such as “easy chord generator”
or “constrain to scale”. Typical house stabs as well as strummed
chords are also included.
05 - Guitarized
Again, scripts come into play in the “Guitarized” category, for
example simulating guitar strings being strummed. The convolution module is
also used to layer the impulse responses from specific cabinets over the sound.
06 - Exotic
The Exotic section is an amazing collection of weird and wonderful sounds: strange
loops, special effects and a whole lot more.
07 - Melodic Loops
The Loops and Rhythm section includes, amongst others, a Loop designer script
to mangle a sliced loop and features samples that are processed using KONTAKT
2's Beat and Time machine features.
08 - Lead & Bass Synths
As the name implies, synthesizer-based lead sounds are on offer here. There
is also the option of using the included “solo mode” and “legato”
scripts to produce some interesting results.
09 - Arpeggiated
As well as several slightly simpler arpeggiators there are also some fairly
intricate constructions that use more than one voice per key or which are harmonized
in a special way. Again, some interesting and distinctive results are guaranteed
with these instruments.
10 - Drumkits & Drumloops
The included drum computer script has been used to program these drum kits,
allowing tempo and they like to be altered radically without suffering a loss
in quality. Combining these 'pattern instruments' with some chords and the “Poly
Step” script will also generate fairly unusual rhythms.
