zircon Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Impact Soundworks has just released a new sample library, which I actually did *not* design myself; though I supervised and directed it, the concept was done by sound designer Ali Lacey, and editing/scripting by Iain Morland. The end result is really cool and I think this will find its way into some of my upcoming remixes thanks to all the interesting atmospheric sounds... Intro & Patch Walkthrough Welcome to CURIO: Cinematic Toy Piano. http://impactsoundworks.com/products/tuned-percussion/curio-cinematic-toy-piano/ Impact Soundworks is proud to announce the release of CURIO, a new virtual instrument for KONTAKT 4+ custom-tailored for film, TV, and game composers. Much like our well-loved Resonance library, CURIO (designed & recorded by Ali Lacey) is based on deep-sampled acoustic material (a miniature toy piano) performed in a multitude of fashions, then deconstructed, prepared, and 'designed' using both acoustic and post-production synthesis/processing techniques. The result is an incredibly unique sampled instrument that goes far beyond a typical sampled toy/mini piano. From ethereal plucks and mallets to a surprising array of percussive hits, taps, ratchets, airy textures, tonal and atonal swells, bows, and sound design elements, CURIO is a treasure trove of material that will inspire your creativity and enhance your palette. (click to enlarge) FEATURES * Mallet and pluck articulations, deep-sampled * Bowed ambience, tapping, shaking textures * Processed percussive hits - taps, deep hits, wet hits, reverberance * Deep bass plucks and FX * Hybrid airy/synthesized and chromatic sounds * Intimate micing * Beautiful scripted interface with further sound design controls: envelope, filter, reverb, delay, lofi, chorus, phaser, etc. * 23 unique patches for KONTAKT 4+ * 1,400+ samples available as both NCW and standalone WAV for furthre mangling DEMOS https://soundcloud.com/isworks/sets/curio-cinematic-toy-piano PRICE/AVAILABILITY CURIO is available NOW for an intro price of $59, and list price of $79! http://impactsoundworks.com/products/tuned-percussion/curio-cinematic-toy-piano/ Let us know your thoughts!
