Kontakt Instrument VST Plugins

ARIA Sounds are proud to present “Surdos & Snares”, a percussion ensemble consisting of three snares and three surdo drums, all placed in the displayed formation (screenshot below), and reproduced faithfully, so you can play these drums, and they will sound in these positions.

We have absolutely pushed the variation and authenticity to the limit with this library. There are 127 dynamic layers per hit/technique/key in these drums, which provides even more benefits than the obvious lack of repetition, or the dreaded “machine-gun effect”. Say you record/play in a performance with this instrument, and then possibly go into the MIDI data and tweak a few hits’ dynamics to get the performance how you want it… and then decide the general feel needs to be either louder or quieter.

Each drum has been played with varied techniques, including soft mallets, sticks, rims, hands, different brushes.

Click each of the drum icons on the interface to loud and unloud that particular drum. Unloaded drums will appear on the keyboard interface as black, and loaded drums with active samples will be shown as blue keys.

Conjure the sounds of the undead with the Aztec Death Whistle

The Aztec Death Whistle is a deeply sampled folk wind instrument that captures the dark soul of the ancient Aztec death whistle, a ceremonial clay resonator used during human sacrifice rituals and warfare at the height of the Aztec (historically also known as the Mexica) empire in Central America, during the 14 and 15th centuries AD in what has now become modern day Mexico.

This whistle—technically grouped into the same family of whistles as bird and animal call whistles— is made of kiln-fired clay. It has two chambers which create air cavities that are resonated by blowing into the top of the skull. It produces a harsh, raspy atonal vocal sound very much like a dying breath, but with a shrill demonic essence that is certain to evoke dread on an almost instinctive level. It is the sound of death incarnate.

We recorded sustains, flutter-tongues, staccatos, hand percussion in our dry studio with deep dynamic layering and 12x round-robin. You’ll also find single-shot dramatic stinger effects, such as swells, crescendos and diminuendos. We then recorded the instrument in a large cathedral from both close and far stereo mic positions to bring out a darker, more mysterious and ambient quality. We also created a wide variety of dark, ethereal and sinister sound designed ambiences, synth patches and FX presets created with the raw acoustic source to give you plenty of nightmare fuel to get your horror on. They make an ideal accompaniment to the main natural articulations in this library.

Aztec Death Whistle comes equipped with flexible control features, like attack, release, transient offset, dynamic swelling, octave, vibrato and a robust Arpeggiator system that provides a full range of custom dynamic arpeggiation modes and step sequencer pattern creation options. There’s also a complete DSP effects rack, including convolution reverb with dozens of unique spaces, such as cathedrals, churches, halls, bunkers, garages, tunnels, chambers, rooms and plenty of special FX impulses to fully explore and endless variety of strange and unexpected sonic manipulations

The Artist

All around Cattaneo is about space, minimalism, elegance and gesture. No matter if it’s music, sound experimentation, filmmaking or decorative art, style and attention for details are his motto.

Paolo Cattaneo is an Italian musician, songwriter, electronic performer and instrument collector and builder. He published 5 acclaimed albums and EPs, one of which produced by Hugo Race, legendary guitarist of Nick Cave. He’s also a member of electronic duo Jay Perkins. We joint-ventured with this wonderful artist to create a new signature series and capture some of the sounds that captured us in the first place: we spent days in his beautiful studio in Italy to sample his unique upright piano, his modified and “augmented” electric piano and lots of little instruments, like a vintage claviharp and other gems for future releases.

The EKO Stradivarius is one of the rarest and hardest to find string synthesisers from the 1970’s.

It has an incredibly rich and vibrant sound all of its own.

I personally spent a long while hunting one of these synths down and eventually found one, but it was in Italy and had to be shipped here. I could not find one in the UK!

The EKO was released in the 1970’s and used by the likes of Vangelis during his 70’s live shows, the EKO produces beautiful and haunting string sounds of that era. Our version will allow for you to easily create those sounds and go way beyond what the original hardware can do.

Each of the 6 original sections of the EKO stradivarius has been sampled in great detail.

PLEASE NOTE: The FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1 is required (NOT Kontakt Player)

Deep Effects

The effects section has bus sends for each synth section and allows for you to ‘dial in’ just the right amount of effects for each section.

Effects List:

• Chorus
• Phaser
• Flanger
• Reverb (Convolution – 37 Impulses to choose from)
• Sync Delay

All audio demos and video demos use only the presets from this Kontakt instrument.

Suitable for all kinds of music from abstract electronics, 70’s disco, modern EDM. Would also sound great being used to score a Zombie movie like Romero’s Dawn of the dead or some obscure Italian horrow/zombie movie.

Extra Controls

We have added many, many extra features to allow for greater sounds to be created from the core sound of the EKO Stradivarius. We also added a special set of Ensemble processed samples for a very rich and vibrant sound. Both sample sets can be freely mixed with each other for extra creativity.

How about each section panning independently of each other?

Each section also has independent filter shapes with a huge range of filter types to choose from, vowel filters, phasers filters and each synth section (all 6) has them – lots of scope for sound creation or use the snapshots that come supplied which will give a wide range of sounds that can be tweaked and modified by you.

Easily create beautiful and lush strings, haunting pads, synth leads, special analogue type effects, synth stabs and then pass them through the effects section.

Secure Serial System

This product features its own custom serial system.

You will require the full version of Kontakt to load EKO (Not Kontakt Player).

When you purchase EKO you will be provided with a unique code which is required to unlock the instrument. Please check out the install and unlock video for more information.

Sounds that you’d never imagine could come out of a piano – for Kontakt 4 and above.

The vol.1 of Hybrichord is our first exploration into what we can really get out of a normal piano, and the initial results are fantastic.

Using various means of getting the instrument to vibrate, including wiring the instrument up, using magnets, electric current, etc, we managed to create some fantastic organic sounding sonic landscapes.

The user interface has controls to allow you to shape and sculpt some of the sound to your liking for use in your music.

Of course, we have also included a variety of more well known experimental techniques, including picks, plucks, bows, hammers, drumming, screws in the strings etc.

This library contains over 4GB of excellent cinematic content, recorded at 96KHz, 24Bit.

The Soprano Melodica is a nice and easy to use reed instrument made since 1958 by the german company Hohner*.

The sound is generated by blowing air through a mouthpiece into fine brass reeds like those used in Harmocicas.

This underrated instrument was used by musicians like UB40, Depeche Mode, The Gorillas, The Hooters, Supertramp and… you too name a few!

We are very happy to get our hands on one of these rare old instruments in a very good, maybe never used, condition. This is one of the very first Melodicas ever made.

Overview

We have recorded this old, fantastic sounding beauty with four different types of microphones thru well selected preamps after some time consuming experiments:

• Piezo Mic (attached to the chassis)
• Condenser Mic (placed 30 cm in front of the instrument)
• Dynamic Mic (placed 30 cm in front of the instrument)

A Wooden Orff Tuned Percussion & Sound-Design library built for Kontakt

Alto Xylophone is a deeply sampled Orff tuned percussion instrument primarily found in elementary music classrooms, measuring at just over two feet long. It has a warm plunky tone and fast decay, with 13 rosewood bars laid in a diatonic C major scale from C4 – A5. We used felt mallets to capture each note, then recorded glisses and percussive knocks. We also sampled two soprano xylophones an octave higher: One has 13 notes (C5-A6) with a rounded playful timbre, while the other has 12 notes (C5- G6) with a crisp biting tone, performed with mallets and wooden cube hammers.

All three xylophones were recorded in a dry studio using two microphone positions, with 10 round robin and up to 14 velocity layers per note.

After that, we expanded these natural wooden tones with 20 ambient organic soundscapes and 20 custom FX presets to kickstart your creative exploration. Alto Xylophone fits comfortably in any genre from horror to jazz, and it’s ready to bring acoustic percussive accents to your next composition. 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. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration.

We’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 our 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 our 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.

We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!

Quadral is an inspiration machine.

Randomize your way to your next favorite electronic score using our 16 categories of hand-crafted atmospheric synth pads. Combine quadrants to create layered organs, unique ambiences, or evolving textures using our Ouroboros modulation engine and tempo-synced XY pad. Each sound has been sculpted with care, allowing you to weave layers together into sensational new presets. We’ve also included over 200 factory patches of Arps, Basses, Leads, FX, Pads, and Plucks to get you started on your interstellar journey through space and time.

Quadral is a powerful sampled synthesis engine, ideal for film and game composers who need a fast workflow while maintaining their creative spark.

Dive in to tweak and automate every parameter with total control, or just click Randomize to generate a virtually endless universe of fresh ideas. Good luck… We’re all counting on you.

The central XY Pad can be used in a variety of ways but defaults as volume control between the 4 layers. Each axis can be customized to affect a different parameter and can be used to control filters or a select amount of FX options. Rhythmic motion can also be added to the XY Pad, automatically adjusting each axis in a tempo-syncable way. You can also limit the X and Y range to create new patterns and fluctuations in tone.

Quadral ships with over 200 Factory Presets in 6 categories, each one lovingly crafted.

They can be easily perused using the Preset Browser. You can also save new patches you’ve made using the browser, or share presets with other users. Finally, don’t forget to fire up the FX rack panel and load your synth up with dozens of DSP effects, including convolution reverb with over 100 of our custom real-world and special FX spaces to perfect your sound.

The interface is rounded-out by our 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.
