Tuned Artillery

Tuned Brass Shell Percussion für Kontakt

Tuned Artillery ist eine einzigartige gestimmte und ungestimmte Percussion-Library, die auf Dry- und Hall-Aufnahmen von benutzten Feldartillerie-Gehäusen aus Messing aus dem Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg basiert, sowie auf ein paar seltsamen zusätzlichen Elementen - einem Infanterie-Kampfhelm aus dem Ostblock und ein paar ausgemusterten modernen Handgranaten - aus derselben Ära. Artilleriegranaten und Militärhelme haben in der modernen klassischen Musik eine lange Geschichte. Sie sind heute in der klassischen und experimentellen Avantgarde-Musik keine Seltenheit mehr und werden sowohl als ungestimmte, ambossähnliche Schlaginstrumente als auch über einen gestimmten Notenumfang eingesetzt. In beiden Fällen erzeugen die hochwertigen, präzisionsgegossenen und maschinell bearbeiteten Messingschalen tiefe und harmonisch reiche Resonanzen, wenn sie mit Schlägeln, Hämmern, Stöcken, Bürsten oder bloßen Händen auf die Seiten, Kanten und den Boden angeschlagen werden.

Under the cover of night, Soundiron infiltrated their favorite recording hall to experiment with some army party favors: a collection of spent artillery shells and headwear. They used our state-of-the-art gear to capture multiple velocity layers in multiple articulations for each piece of Army equipment. Unsatisfied with just 3 mic positions (close, wide, and far), they went back and recorded each shell and helmet dry in a booth to really give you the ability to sculpt the sound you want.

For Tuned Artillery 2.0, Soundiron remastered the samples and added them into their efficient four-layer modular template, then created ambient pads and soundscapes from the raw source content. They also designed 20 custom FX presets to give you instant inspiration for your next film/video game score, soundtrack or music composition.

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more. Soundiron have also included 20 unique sound-designed custom FX presets to give you lots of creative options.

This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Their customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. They’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.

The interface is rounded-out by their modular FX rack panel, with 18 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 10 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes their favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. Thye’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
