THE BENDS is the second release in the Creative Differences series, a percussion instrument library that focuses on quality, organic percussion sounds recorded and designed for the Kontakt user.
Following in the footsteps of HUMDRUM it features a collection of all things metal – gongs, cymbals, gamelan, triangles, and miscellaneous household items, struck, scraped and bowed while being immersed in water.
THE BENDS Highlights:
- 30 patches of otherworldly pitch bends, underwater rhythms and hits make for a very evocative library for the adventurous music creator.
- 750 samples (up to a minute long) recorded at 24-96 kHz with contact and stereo microphones.
- Each patch allows for much manipulation with pitch, echo, reverb, shaping, arpeggiator and stutter key.
- Rhythmic patches are bpm’d.
- Most patches have velocity sensitivity assigned to the mod wheel. This gives even more flexibility in shaping rhythms when ARP (arpeggiator) is switched on.
