The story
Hi everyone !
Here’s my first attempt to make a kontakt instrument. It’s based on only one sample (natural harmonic on the 12th fret of my electric guitar) and I was curious to see how far I could go with it (without a clear idea of the desired outcome).
After a lot of layering and a lot of plugins used, here is the result : a kind of organ/synth/pad.
I couldn’t find a good name for this library but since it’s based on a single sample and there’s only one control button (linked to the modwheel) per patch, and also this is my first try, I just called it “one” (if someone has a better name, I take it).
I put a small demo (made very very VERY quickly !!!) using the different patches to show how it sounds. Obviously it’s far from perfect but I think it can be interesting in the lofi territory…
Hope you like it for what it’s worth ; )

PS : made with Kontakt 6.7.1

Instant cinema
Damn!! One note and I can see myself watching a film around this. So amazing work. Quote minimalistic. You can add loads of effects and plug-in on it and do some weird sound design to make your own cool stuff. And oh! Absolutely love the look of the GUI. The art was amazing on that. I would like to have it as a desktop wallpaper
Move over albion and abbey road, there's a new One in town
A pretty cool collection of indie cinema sounds.
Some really inspiring ones too. That LoFi Melancholia patch is pure inspiration.An ADSR control would be great for customizing the sound more.
The Arp presets are also quite fun to play with, despite not having control of the arp details.
Hopefully there's a "Solstice" on the horizon.
Beautifully minimalistic
Quickly putting together a soundscape can be daunting, with so many parameters to tweak - for hours and hours...This instrument has ONE knob, and it feels inspiring with its minimalistic approach. It just makes me want to create something right away! I really like the arps!
One sample turned into a world of possibilities
The fact that this is all made with one sample is very incredible. The patches are very interesting and I love how well they are designed. The GUI with only one knob is also very fitting. The character/creativity on this is totally amazing. Hats off!!
A great bundle of synthetic sounds
This is a great bundle of sounds that have been sampled very well, and it's kind of ridiculous that everything is based off of just one sample. My favourite is by far the fourth one called Synthy Organy II, but I also like the two arpeggiated ones a lot. They work perfectly fine and they are tempo synced! My only complain is that the 1st patch - Ghosts has a very obvious click every time it loops, but the rest are simply great.
Note: The Creatures patch doesn't have the knob bound to the CC1/Modwheel by default.
