Description: An incredible tool for creating amazingly beautiful, eerie and complex soundscapes.
Impromptu Textural Percussions is a unique experimental instrument for Kontakt 6, consisting of 30 individual instruments and over 5 GB of samples (uncompressed).
It is dedicated to creating amazingly beautiful, eerie and complex soundscapes using only percussion instruments recorded by percussionist extraordinaire Hugh Wilkinson. The ITP is a fantastic instrument for improvisation and will make a great addition to your acoustic arsenal.
The instrument is also provided with a number of designer patches using various percussion as source material. They all have incredible organic quality. The centerpiece of ITP is the Impromptu Engine; a system that combines loops of improvised, unsynchronized fragments with granular synthesizer to create unique and unusual atmospheric sounds.
We recorded 3 round robins in three different layers, which you can seamlessly transition between using the central control.
Playing a note with the modulation wheel all the way down will cause a rare improvised loop at that pitch; start moving the modulation wheel up to gradually move to the middle and finally to the denser layer.
Along with the Impromptu patches for Glockenspiel, Vibraphone and Crotales, we have also created bonus Impromptu patches of cymbals (Chinese, 17” and 18”) and snare (played with both brushes and sticks): these are more experimental in nature and perhaps their aren’t that easy to use, but they can result in some pretty interesting sounds. Crotales, cymbals, glockenspiel, vibraphone and waterphone are also available as bowed instruments. These patches are great for creating a beautiful airy atmosphere.
We’ve also included 82 snapshots that will help speed up your workflow, as well as give you a starting point for creating your own incredible textures.
