Description: We have taken the best sounds from CINEMATRIX, SORE, SYNFERNO AND SUPINE (1300) and combined them into 350 brand new sets.
PLETHORA is a state-of-the-art kinematic loop module for KONTAKT containing 350 different kits that can be played in tandem in four categories (bass, melody, ambience and groove). These sets are made using the included 1.300 (unencrypted) 24-bit WAV files. All loops can be played polyphonically with time stretch over a range of two octaves (24 semitones).
Drag and drop audio files – PLETHORA allows you to import your own WAV loops with a simple drag and drop. Save your tuned PLETHORA instrument as an NKI instrument or snapshot for later use. (Each engine can hold up to 128 custom WAV files).
Mixer Page – When you press the SHIFT and ALT/OPTION keys on the first randomize button on the Mix Page (BASS section), this randomly (on or off) changes the sequencer state and selects a random sequencer preset for all four parts. Here you can mix and match individual loops (parts). The upper LCD shows the current kit or just “— USER —” if you have changed the kit (loaded another loop). You have 4 LCD displays that show the current (loaded) loop. Here you can select different loops or let PLETHORA choose new ones by pressing the “R” (randomize) buttons. The SOLO buttons can be used for solo parts. Pressing any SOLO button with the CONTROL/COMMAND or SHIFT button will disable any active solo. For almost all controls, you can press ALT / OPTION and adjust the value for all parts at the same time. (This is always indicated in the information window CONTACT). CONTROL / COMMAND will reset the values. SHIFT for fine tuning. The SPACE button sets the amount of convolutional reverb for the selected part. (The “SPACE” switch must be turned on on the effects page). The FX buttons can be used to turn the FX sections on or off for Parts. The SEQ buttons enable/disable the sequencer for each part.
Edit Page – The EDIT page allows you to set options for each of the four parts. PLETHORA has loop speed control for each part (half, normal, double speed and freeze). When importing custom WAV files, speed control will no longer be available.
