Egret

Egret

Created for Kontact 6 Pro. It has three distinct voices. I developed the samples using Hybrid from AIR . These samples were developed by me just working on the samples within each voice till it felt right to me. All controllers are scripted to assigned CC# channels so using "learn midi CC# Automation" is not necessary for any controllers shown in the GUI. I have keep the CC# the same as in my other instrument"Dark Petals" so their is a consistence throughout my Plug Ins.

The story

This being my second sample pack I was striving to add additional controls for using the groups and blending them together. I worked on each group’s samples by just listening as I went and shaping the sound to something that worked for me and the mood I was in. Deep textural construction is always my goal. I like to have a rich tonal library to work with in my instrument but so that they can be combined to form a total environment. Putting it into words is not a easy thing for me since I just see they sounds as their own language.

Hope you enjoy this latest instrument.

I start with Dorico as my writing notes program. I create each groups set of samples (usually in Major Third) for two whole octaves starting at C1. I then used the Vsts Hybrid to create three or more unique sounds for each group which I write as separate lines in Dorico; they are all playing unison. Then after blending them using Dorico's mixer I end up with a rich sample. I do this for each of the groups I will add to the Kontact instrument. Then exporting the groups created samples to Reaper. In Reaper I cut up each of the sound samples and balance them and check their LFO_I . Then export each individual sample for each group to be brought into Kontact. I made sure in creating the GUI to keep the CC# assignments the same as my other plug In "Dark Petals" so their is no learning curve if you are using both of these instruments.

Lovely pads... but then they stop...
This is quite a nice organ-like pad instrument. You get three different voices that can be volume controlled, panned, and LPFed independently. There's a big knob for global reverb, which dresses things up nicely. It's very easy to quickly to get to a sound that you like.

However, there's one thing that holds this instrument back a lot: the samples do not loop. So after 4-5 seconds, each voice comes to a somewhat abrupt ending. Quite a shame, because it significantly restricts the ways in which this instrument can be used. Your mileage may vary.
