Homegrown Sounds Kosmology Collection KONTAKT (Up)

Description

Homegrown Sounds Kosmology Collection KONTAKT (Up)

The following Instruments are Included:
– 8 x K6 Kosmology – New Kontakt 6 Version using a Large GUI and the excellent new Reverb and Delay plus a few more parameters.
– 8 x K5 Kosmology – Identical to K6 but compatible with Kontakt 5 and using the original FX.
8 x Multiverse – An Pad based Synth designed for Randomizing usable Atmospheric Pads. A Large GUI version will be coming soon.
– 8 x Cassetto Bootlegs – Special Version of the Cassetto Instrument which replaces the Samples with each in this Collection.
– Legacy Instruments – The Original Versions of Kosmology, Kosmology Lite and Metropolis.

*The new Kosmology Instruments are compatible with old Presets although the Delay and Reverb May differ slightly.

At the heart of the package are 8 Sample Collections:
Analog – The sound of the Elektron Analog Four has entered the world of Kosmology. Even though the instruments are more on the experimental side compared to the previous Kosmology Releases, the end result is a quite surprisingly mellow sample set, filled with lots of movement and discovery when sequencing. These Instruments were designed specifically for use with Kosmology to bring some of the warmth and characteristics from the excellent sounding Analog Synthesizer, which has it’s own very distinct character.

Awakenings – the intention was to design sounds which were capable of producing Synth Pop and Electro such as Grimes, Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk. They were produced with Wave Sequencing in mind to provide a rich palette to build rhythms with, and contain enough movement to be good for sequencing the Start Offset.

Dissonance – 200 wild, boisterous and clangy samples to discover crazy loops whilst Wave/Sample Start Sequencing. This collection is perfect for creating endless unique loops for use in all genres of Electronic Music.

Elementary – Whilst the trend nowadays is towards Analog Emulation, Elementary takes the opposite route and brings 467 ‘cheap’ digital instruments into Kosmology. After initial tests it was found that these sounds bring a fantastic clarity, and for Wave Sequencing an excellent range of Timbres which work together extremely well! This is the largest Kosmology release yet with more than twice the instruments included in previous releases, and to get this number and keep the memory consumption down, they are limited to two multi-samples per instrument.

Evolution – designed using a DSI Evolver and takes advantage of both the Analog and the Digital side of this amazing instrument. All sounds were created from scratch for this collection and definitely bring the Evolver’s unique ‘sound’ into Kosmology for Sequencing Fun.

Fusion – The Fusion Sample Collection was designed using a Dave Smith Instruments Mopho, capturing it’s aggressive analog sound to the full. It’s a very interesting addition to the Kosmology Collection and has a very different feel to all of the other releases.

Lumin – Lumin provides 200 multi-sampled Instruments designed and created with UHE Bazille and Waldorf Largo to provide a solid sounding instrument collection to feed the Kosmology script. Within Kosmology the sound of these two synths compliment each other very well when Wave Sequencing.

Space – In contrast to previous Kosmology Releases, Space is a more ambient soundset, the filter is less open and the instruments have been softened & effected.

Kosmology – The Script
Kosmology is an Advanced Performance Sequencing Tool. In a nutshell you build up to 8 instances which can be switched and manipulated by a series of triggers in real-time. Each Instance contains a Pitch Sequencer, Velocity sequencer, 5 freely assignable Sequencers (from a list of 46 Destinations) and 48 Synth Parameters. Each Instance can have completely different settings and assignments, which gives an enormous amount of freedom for creating unique grooves.

The Golden Crown of Kosmology is undoubtedly the fact that it can perform Wave Sequencing which means that you can assign a sequencer to select the currently playing instruments from all the included Sampled instruments. Both Synth A and B can be targeted individually which leads to instant satisfaction, creating an original sounding sequence can be as easy as selecting Wave A/B in a sequencer and hitting the Random Button. There is a Globals section which allows affecting 25 Parameters at the global Level, which can be automated in the host. These Parameters can add or remove from the current values, so as an example you could have a complex midi track in your DAW which switches between sequences rapidly and then automate a slow movement on the Cutoff Global which will open and close the filer regardless of which sequence is playing.

Kosmology Collection Key Features:
+ 8 Instances that can be switched on the fly via Midi. each Instance has:
– control over 48 Distinct Parameters which include Cutoff, Resonance, Filter and Amp Envelopes Envelopes (Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release), Filter Envelope Amounts, Octave, Various A/B Tune options, FX Sends plus more.
– Pitch Sequencer – Offsets the root note by -+12 semitones and can Tie notes and mute them
– Velocity Sequencer – Velocity in turn can be assigned to both Volume and/or the Filter Cutoff
– 5 assignable Sequencers – each of these sequencers can target any of the 46 available Destinations and can like the other synth parameters can be completely different for each of the 8 instances.
– All sequencers have independent Clock Divisions
– All sequencers have an independent Step Size (maximum 64 steps) which is great for Syncopation

+ Dual Synth Architecture – each synth has its own waveform (sampled Instrument), Filter Type, Pan, Tune and Envelope Depth.

+ FX Engine:
– Convolution Reverb -Uses Kontakts Convolution engine with a selection of 50 unique Impulse Responses.
– Standard Reverb – Also includes the older Kontakt Reverb which can work well in conjunction with the Convolver. K6 Version uses the New Room/Hall reverb.
– Tempo Delay -Stereo Ping Pong Delay with adjustable tempo based times. K6 Uses the new Replika Delay with a choice of all 5 Modes.
– Modulator – Has a choice between Flanger, Phaser or Chorus with adjustable LFO Frequency.
– Echo – Can be used as a Comb effect (think Sabres of Paradise) or as a short non tempo delay.
– Compressor
– Saturation

+ 2 tempo synched LFOs – LFO1 has a selection of 20 shapes, and can target Cutoff and Volume individually for both synths A and B, and Pitch B. LFO 2 is dedicated to the main Cutoff and locked to a RAMP shape and is great for the classic Rhythmic Sound.

+ Wave Sequencing – it is possible to target both synth destinations independently to switch waveforms on a step by step basis which leads to extremely sophisticated Sequences with very little effort.

+ Integrated Preset Browser and ability to save Presets and Templates.

+ Rescalers – Force notes to a Scale for each Note of the Octave.

+ Randomizers – You can randomize everywhere.

+ Large Screen editor – Allows working on the Pitch plus any other sequencer for easy Editing when needed.

+ 15 Timing Based Triggers for Live Manipulation including Freeze Pitch, Freeze Waveforms, Half Step, Double Step, Mute, Reverse, Max Note Length, Min Note Length plus more.

+ 25 Global Parameters for Automating across all Instances or radically transforming a Preset on the fly.

3 Mod Triggers – You can offset up to 9 Parameters for each of these triggers for an instant remix via the assigned Midi Keys.

+ -/+1 Octave Triggers.

+ Easy and Intuitive Workflow.
