Power on Deck

With a single click, add swank and brazen boldness to epic elements with Collision FX instant sidechain power mods on the main display. Destruction, Shimmer and Depth, the first level of Collision’s custom crafted controls that give composers and designers instantaneous power over expression, timbre, res filter and low end dynamics.

Modify the sidechain input envelope with ADSR controls at hand and gain instant access to modify pitch and reverse waveform direction all from the main tab. Simply dial in the amount of effect to apply you’ll be creating vastly different sounds as you go.

Sculpting Desk

Capturing a cinematic mixing style can be challenging particularly when faced with precisely scoring impacts, hits, sweeps, risers and transitions. Collision FX delivers allowing you to conveniently slot your Collision FX sounds and cinematics into your mix in real-time using the Sculpting Desk that includes ready onboard 4 band parametric EQ.

2-pole legacy filters for HP and LP provide frequency filtering and flexibility to clean up or heighten selected bands, all while the solid state modeled bus compressor helps you stay in control of extreme dynamics. Easily preview and compare all your effects changes with simple toggle controls.

Modulation Mayhem

For every parameter of every effect you’ll enjoy immediate and powerful access to envelope modulation, LFO modulation and step sequencing modulation (often used for mod. and tempo sync). The interactions and variability you create are almost limitless and alone, Collision FX multi assignable modulation schemes could by themselves keep you busy in “ultra-creative mode” for hours and hours.

Totally proprietary linear envelope generators deliver precise control over how effect parameters interact with samples. The custom LFO, also assignable to any effect parameter, features multiple wave shapes including random, and inversion (polarity). For the adventurous, Step Sequencer modulation assigned to multiple effect parameters creates interactions unique, unpredictable and of epic cinematic proportion.

Delicious Dimensions of Space

Quickly add spatial dimension, ambience and sonic secret sauce to your creations with custom convolution impulse response reverbs,190 of them! These exceptional reverbs take you on a journey of dimensions beyond basic auditoriums and rooms, the convolution reverbs contained in Collision FX are powerful for creating spatial and ambient overtones with Collision’s unique sample bank. Every reverb effect is precisely controlled by modifying standard early reflection and late reflection parameters.

It’s one of our favorite approaches to getting a little extra… “Un gros coup de cul à la fin,” (a kick in the arse) pardon our French. Try building your sounds and cinematic elements only to add the convolution reverbs at the last step. You won’t be disappointed as Collision FX comes through with the perfect compliment to your audio arsenal.

Orrville Pipe Organ is a classic pneumatic pipe organ with 1,224 pipes, 21 ranks, 3 divisions, 2 manuals, 18 stops and 31 registers. It was built for the First Presbyterian Church of Orrville, Ohio in 1963 by the venerable Schantz Organ Company. With a robust and mighty sound, it’s a much more elaborate and powerful instrument than you’d typically expect to find in a smaller rural church like this one, allowing the sound to completely fill the space with an epic presence and grand tonal body. However, that all might be explained by the fact that the Schantz workshop is just a mile up the road in the same small town.

We captured several of our favorite sustain and staccato articulations in two microphone positions, as well as chimes, zymbelstern, blower, and pedal noises for ultimate realism. We’ve also included tons of custom FX patches and sound-designed ambient synth pads created from the source to make this library extraordinarily playable and versatile. Whether you’re looking to create a massive video game sound, bold synth bass tone or play straight from the hymnal, Orrville’s got the pipes to do it!

The power of the master patch

This one is powerful. This one is unstable and resonating, wobbly and warm, this one is smooth also harsh. All at the same time.

We decided to bring you chaos paired with pure love. We have recorded an old and out of tune harmonica with different microphones and preamps and get some interesting resonances and musical errors instantly. We then processed this recordings heavily with different hardware saturation and also with lots of awesome software tools to make them sound even more interesting and get the things more under control.

We build three different version for you to play with. The Long and the short versions are the most realistic sounding ones. The Long version is looped carefully so you can play it to eternity without the need to hitting the key again. The short version is just a sharp played recording. For the long and the short version you can mix four different microphones to get a natural sounding result at the end.

Next we build a version where you can mix four so called “Tracks”.

These tracks are made from different recording sessions and the microphones are layered together already. So you got a total different experience and a more mystical or industrial like sound as result. In combination with all the effects you can go real wild with that one.

Finally we made a simple version also where we layered together some of the recordings and samples we got while recording and building these instrument. Just choose one and tune it to your taste with all the given knobs.

All instruments are programmed with musical velocity, aftertouch and pitchbend modulation possibilities and a super useful LFO effect tuneable by using the modwheel.

The Melodica Cassetto 26 is another easy to use and super rich sounding reed instrument made by the German company Hohner*.

The sound is generated by blowing air thru a mouthpiece into fine brass reeds like those used in Harmonicas. This one got an extra chamber at the bottom for more resonances.

This underrated instruments were 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 super rare instruments in a very good condition. The Cassotto Melodicas are very hard to find in a good condition.

We have recorded this old, plastic and fantastic pretty with four different types of microphones thru well selected preamps after some time consuming experiments.

Overview
Each microphone can be tuned in separately in the master area at the head of the instrument. So you can take advantage of the different characters of the four microphone types and mix your own original pretty red sound until it fits your taste perfectly.

The noise from blowing air into the Melodica was separated from the musical material and made usable thru an extra mixing knob. The same processing we did with the clicks which were produced by pressing the keys on the Melodica. So you can now add/reduce the noise from blowing by turning the noise knob and add/reduce the clicks from the keys by turning the click knob.

Here comes our “DIGGI-DUB”. A synthesizer build to resurrect some classy, warm and dusty memories and finally make them useable.

We want to make a really digital and old skool sounding lo-fi synthesizer this time. Like the old casio toy pianos and stuff like that.

Diggi-Dub uses a lot of different saturation, distortion, modulation and lo-fi effects in a very interesting chain and also very interesting results.

The Oktobass is the deepest concert string instrument, with a thunderous, room-shaking growl.

We’ve sampled this bone-rattling beast to build a massive virtual instrument offering 30+ articulations and over 12GB of content. You’ll find a variety of sustains, shorts, dynamic expressions, true legato, creative effects and hundreds of aleatoric melodic phrases. As part of our Hyperion symphonic series, it provides a suite of intuitive options, flexible tools and inspiring performance features, from intelligent arpeggiation and articulation switching, to flexible tempo-synching and sound-shaping DSP effects, all at your fingertips to make it easy to craft brilliantly life-like arrangements.

The first Oktobass (also spelled “Octobass”) was built in 1849 by Jean Baptiste Vuillaume, but it drifted into legend by the end of the 1800s, lost but not forgotten for over a century. Then in 1996, double bass player Nicola Moneta, luthier Pierre Bohr and bow-maker Piero Cavalazzi constructed the first modern Octobass. Moneta has gone on to play it in nearly 150 concerts around the world over the last 25 years, though it still remains one of only a handful in existence today.

This 3.48 meter (11.5 ft) mammoth is played from a raised platform, using a row of mechanical levers to control the fingerboard. The cavernous instrument body produces a surprisingly nuanced character, with intense stereo movement and subtle mechanical ornamentation.

We worked with Giorgio Riolo and Daniele Bertinelli to capture the Octobass at Moneta’s private gallery in Milan, Italy. It was recorded using a close pair of large-diaphragm mics at the F holes to achieve a dry and intimate sound, and a wide-spaced pair of omnis at 2 meters for a bright and vivid chamber quality. The mics can be blended in real-time, and the instrument can be freely positioned on our virtual stage, featuring a huge menu of our custom environments, so it’s easy to mix into any arrangement you desire. Your creative options are endless with the Hyperion Solo Strings Oktobass!

Contents

This library includes one epic Oktobass with Master and Phrases nki presets. The Master presets include a wide selection of articulations, each with their own range of customizable real-time performance options, key-switch and mapping options and performance tools. The master preset allow you to blend and switch effortlessly between sustains, a variety of shorts and naturally dynamic tempo-based expressions.

The Sustain articulations give you a plethora of sustain types with p, mf, F, tremolo p & F, sforzando, swell, flautando, and true legato.

The Short articulations include staccato p & F, spiccato p & F, pizzicato p & F, pizzicato F mute, col legno, bartok pizzicato, and more! Each short articulation provides 4 round-robin variations per note, making it easy to humanize your arrangements and find the perfect emotive expression for any musical moment.

The Expressions allow real-time dynamically-aware release sample triggering, tempo-synching and time-stretching. We’ve included Crescendo, Decrescendo, Sforzando, Swell, and Swell Tremolo articulations. When combined with the Offset and Attack controls, you can carve out just about any dynamic shape you could ever need. There are also a variety of wild bass SFX like chord staccatos, harmonic sustains, percussion, rolls, scrapes, and more.

The phrase presets feature a massive collection of live phrases, organized intuitively by root key. Tempo-synching, time-stretching, and pitch transposition give you complete freedom to customize. You can also shape, blend and sequence phrases with our phrase-legato, step sequencer, speed-control, and live waveform editing.

We found a beautiful old African Balafon in a friend’s old studio so we could not resist turning it into a carefully sampled Kontakt instrument.

We have recorded this beauty with different microphones and preamps and also in different locations to get some interesting resonances and on some also a little room from the beginning. We then processed these recordings with different hardware saturation and also with some state of the art software tools to make them sound woody, natural and warm.

The sounds are carefully tuned and really clean.

From there we build a custom GUI for you to manipulate the original until you get the Balafon / Woody sound you are looking for.

You have 48 variations to start with. 24 x brush and 24 x sticks.

Each instrument has 49 notes. You got some presets which sound more like the real instruments and some which sound like a piano or flutes, some more like soft pads or mystic drums. Velocity is also set to a very musical level for authentic playing.

David Oliver’s Drum Kit is a deeply sampled red 1980’s Pearl DLX drumset, handpicked and performed by British instrumentalist and media composer David Oliver.

The Pearl DLX was originally played and endorsed by the legendary Jazz drummer Art Blakey although it has a very versatile sound suitable for multiple genres of music. We put it through it’s paces sampling it with a number of different stick types for maximum scope of expressive drumming techniques from ultra loud to ultra soft. The compact 18 inch kick is super punchy with a 12 inch rack tom and 14 inch floor tom. We recorded this kit extensively at The Whitehouse Studios in UK.

We recorded an extensive array of cymbals which were mostly Zildjians with a few Sabian, a few Paiste and Wuhan. We included a variety of hi hats with combinations of top and bottom, custom jazz and rock rides selected for their rich character and expressive crashes and splashes. We also sampled some effects cymbals, a few of which I customised myself with a grinder and rivets. The Sabian custom 20in crash ride was customised from a minibell dry ride by artisan cymbal maker Dave Collingwood in Bristol UK working to my specifications to create a uniquely rich and tonally exotic cymbal especially for this project.

The toms were double headed using Evans Level 360 Heads for the batter side which are great for sound control and fidelity and Evans 56 Calftone drum head for the Mapex Peace Snare Drum, with Remo Coated Ambassador head on the vintage Pearl Super Gripper Brass Shell Snare Drum and Evans 56 Calftone and Gope Goatskin on Custom 22 inch Concert bass drum. This concert bass drum was hand built by an artisan drum maker in UK to my specifications for sound control recording purposes. The 18 inch kick was sampled with a Remo Powerstroke batter head and Evans Level 360 resonant front head. The mics we used were a stereo pair of Blue Dragonfly for overhead mics, Stereo Neumann TLM 103s for close up, an M-S front pair, figure 8 (Microtech-Geffell UM70s and cardioid TLM103). Overall, this powerhouse is ready for jazz, rock, pop, or any genre that requires drums with amazing realism and customization. With the multiple mic positions, you can quickly dial in your own perfect drum kit and be on your way to your best sound yet.

A 4-String Electric Bass Guitar library built for Kontakt

Voltage Bass is a four stringed electric bass guitar with hot pickups, wide tonal range, and a versatile sound ready for any genre of music. We put it through its paces, sampling 30 notes of fingered sustains, palm mutes, picked palm mutes, picked chokes, and harmonics with up to six velocity layers and eight round robin. We captured E1 to C#4 with a mic’d amp for steel character and beefy flavor, and direct line in for a transparent clean tone perfect for adding your own amps and effects.

This low-end legend is rounded out by 20 ambient pads, synth sustains, staccatos, and a powerful FX rack so you can dial in your new favorite bass preset, create a practice track for your band, or compose an epic rock musical. You can also utilize our advanced options like the velocity range limiter and legato to get even finer control. For your next project, grab Voltage Bass… The results will shock you!

Rust 4 is the most extensive volume in our classic Rust series of metallic percussive and melodic instruments.

For Relics, we explore the remnants of yesteryear at the East Contra Costa Historical Society’s agricultural museum in Knightsen, California. The museum preserves the last 150 years of Knightsen history – a small rural farming community nestled at the edge of the San Francisco Bay Delta where it opens into California’s Central Valley. The ECCHS staff generously let us sample a huge collection of their artifacts and exhibits in comprehensive detail.

We brought our custom studio-grade field recording rigs to roam the multi-acre museum grounds, equipped with large-diaphragm, mid-side pairs, and stereo contact microphone arrays to capture each sound in extreme detail and ridiculously pristine fidelity. We recorded ball, stick, felt and metal mallet percussion on dozens of distinct farm implements throughout the museum grounds, including heavy equipment, agricultural machines, metallic surfaces and objects of all shapes and sizes, from vintage horse-drawn plows, harvesters, combines, and motorized tractors to the complete physical interior and exterior of a vintage railroad caboose. We recorded a 40-foot tall windmill in every way conceivable, a whole collection of pioneer-era farmhouse antiques and vintage household devices crafted from brass, copper, steel, tin, bronze and cast & wrought iron.

We explored every nook and cranny for interesting tones and special effects, powerful booms, eerie screeches and moans, clanks, clatters, ratchets, gongs, musical rings and clangs in indoor and outdoor environments. We then curated and refined the content into a vast collection of playable instruments and effect banks, intuitively categorized into tunable percussion kits by object, style, tone and sonic character. All of the sounds are accessible through a single multi-layer sound designer interface and easy to play as full impact percussion ensembles, or soloed as melodic tuned percussion instruments. Rust 4 offers a vast variety of distinct sounds in every acoustic category, from delicate to brutal, and richly resonant to raw and gritty.

Seiko DS250 – A strange and extremely rare Additive synthesiser from the 1980’s and used by J.M Jarre on his Rendezvous album.

The DS250 has a set of presets built into it and it allows for you to stack two presets by pressing a dual function key to select layer 1 and layer 2; it is a little awkward pressing these buttons, so our version just has two sets of 16 preset select buttons which is much easier.

The D-250 relies on some form of additive synthesis to create its sound and produces tones that are not clean and pristine, but instead have a wonderful earthy, organic and grainy sound that have bags of character.

After searching for many years to find one of these illusive keyboards I was immediatly struck by its great set of presets, but I thought it was let down by not being velocity sensitive – So that was the first thing we added to Castle Instruments version. I also thought it could benefit from resonant filters, so we added those and also added velocity modulation to allow control of the Filter Cutoff and resonance; this really added so much expression to the sounds. We also added multiple filter types which can be selected from the filter menu on the interface.

We also added controllable ADSR for amp and filter, Hi-Pass filters, and MIDI syncable LFO’s; all of these extra features take the sounds way beyond what can be achived with just the hardware synth. Of course our version has the original sounds from the hardware DS-250 and we created the factory presets for you in the preset folder, but it is great to be able to go way beyond what the hardware can do and explore new sounds – sort of like if Seiko had added all these new features to their original hardware.

Our version also has two random patch generators – one for each preset layer which makes it easy to throw some chaos theory into your patch creation and just hit randomise until you get something you like.

Also included is a full effects section including: Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Tape saturation/warmth, Reverbs, MIDI syncable Delays and an arpeggiator.

The Castle Instruments DS-2500 is great for taking a journey into the strange and digital world of additive sounds and textures who’s roots are firmly entwined in the original sounds from the DS-250 hardware and comes with 100 presets and 30 MULTI’s to get you started.

Quadral 3 is a prolific audio powerhouse.

Randomize your way to your next favorite electronic score using 16 brand new groups of hand-crafted atmospheric synth pads. Combine quadrants to create layered leads, iridescent ambiences, or floating textures using our newly redesigned Ouroboros modulation engine and tempo-synced XY pad. Each sound has been sculpted with care, allowing you to weave layers together into spectacular new presets with categories like Fragmented, Sleek, Cerebral, Balmy, Metallic, and Driven. We’ve also included 36 fresh wavetables, and added user sample import so you can add your own WAV files to use them as the basis for your sounds. This rocket launches with over 300 factory patches of Arps, Basses, Leads, FX, Pads, and Plucks to get you started on your interstellar journey through space and time.

Quadral 3 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.

Contents

The user interface is built around four separate quadrants, an assignable XY Pad, and arpeggiator system to expand your creative potential. Each layer in Quadral 3 has fully independent sound-shaping options including Attack, Release, Offset, Pitch, Pan, and more. Every quadrant has its own individual arpeggiator and filter with 39 built-in filter types.

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.

You can set up dynamic arpeggiator, gliss, and strum patterns with our integrated ARP system, featuring a suite of abilities like rhythm, direction, swing and randomization. The Legato feature is also included, instantly turning this machine into a monophonic legato/portamento instrument with adjustable pitch bend speed control. Dive in to tweak and automate every parameter with total control over every detail, or just hit the Random button to instantly generate an infinite variety of new sound, parameter and dynamic modulator combinations. The Macro knobs to the left and right of the XY Pad can be assigned to modulate a variety of layer sound shaping controls or FX rack plugins.

User sample import allows you to blend your own WAV files into the engine to make each sound truly your own. Mix and shape your samples alongside our 16 categories of sounds and 36 wavetables for your next epic atmosphere.

Quadral 3 ships with over 300 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.

Rock Your Score. Control Your room.

MAD – RockScore expands the MAD collection with a library designed to easily blend within Orchestral or Hybrid Scores. HHS recorded 3 iconic drum kits in a large scoring room and developed a unique set of features for maximum control over tonal balance and ambience.

It’s now possible to fully control how the direct sound interacts with the room, making the drums easily fit any arrangement. With so much control over signal flow, the sound can be dramatically shaped without compromising the drums’ unprocessed raw character.

The Highlights

• Iconic and vintage Rock drum kits – HHS picked vintage and well sought after drums and antique cymbals. These drum kits feature a heavyweight sound with lots of sustain that redefines what ‘bigger than life’ sounds like!

• Extended microphone blending – Recording in a big scoring room was just the beginning. HHS developed an expanded mixing engine that goes beyond traditional signal flow with total control over microphone bleed. The size and impact of the room sound can be easily controlled to fit any size ensemble.

• Dynamic Expression – MAD RockScore features a wide dynamic range that retains all the nuances you’d expect from percussion instruments. This allows for customization of velocity curves to fit your playing style and the ability for real-time crescendo/diminuendo performances using the new Velocity Offset feature.

• New level of playability – The drums feature extended articulations including extensive left/right hand samples. The symmetrical MIDI note mapping makes it easy to play and quickly create realistic patterns. With the acclaimed Hi-Hat engine, velocity shaping tools, and along with legato Snare grace notes and multi-sampled Cymbal chokes, you have immediate access to every bit of nuance.

• Flexible in any production – MAD RockScore brings total control over signal flow and therefore can fit nicely with non Orchestral genres as well. With total control over room sound and microphone bleed, you are in control of the raw sound and tonal balance for your arrangement.

• Dedicated Groove Engine – Includes over 500 grooves systematically organized with Core patterns and respective Alternates and Fills. All grooves can be dropped to your DAW as 2 bar MIDI clips.

The Instruments

Imagine a classic Drum sound that’s wrapped around the Orchestra and fills the score with impact and a thick stereo image. Each of the 3 kits feature a similar signal path while having a distinct sonic signature.

The spot microphone channels are expanded with a comprehensive mic bleed matrix and stereo Room and Outriggers microphone perspectives. The result is a dynamic drums tone that will fit any size score!
