It has been something of a labour of love for us, as the scope of the instrument grew over 18 months, incorporating forensic line-level sampling of 15 different drum machines, and then two separate studio sessions, 6 months apart, to try to get the right results.<\/p>\n
We think the results were worth it – it’s probably the most complex Kontakt instrument we have created, with a ‘matrix’ of channels that all work together\u00a0and a deep editing system giving huge control over sound design.<\/p>\n
The three sequencers turn it from ‘just’ an instrument\u00a0into a very useful compositional tool, with intelligent tools like Euclidean Beats<\/em> to provide solid, tight beats and the new Poly Beats<\/em> tool to take your track into weird rhythmic spaces.<\/p>\n We’d like to thank Flipside Sound systems<\/a> for their help with the PA, Monnow Valley<\/a> & State Of The Ark <\/a>studios for their enthusiasm for the strange recording concept.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re pleased to announce the release of Electro-Acoustic, a new drum VI which offers a new angle on classic drum machine sounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2019"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2025,"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2019\/revisions\/2025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.soniccouture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
