2-Octaves Upright Toy Piano

Important Note: This is a software instrument designed for the full version of the NI Kontakt engine, and is not a physical product!

Who has never wanted to have a Toy Piano like Schroeder’s, from Peanuts? The sound of the piano is produced by metal bars stroke by plastic hammers, almost like a glockenspiel but more deep and warm. This lovely 2-octaves upright toy piano was sampled with the lid both closed and open and percussions samples have been recorded playing its wood case with hands, nylon brushes and rubber mallets. There are also different ambient/pad/drone instruments created using samples start/loop tricks and a bunch of effects, both with a custom, tweakable, GUI.

KLANG's SYMPHONIC range consists of orchestral instruments like violins, flutes, french horns and other instruments. KLANG tried to capture recordings of these familiar instruments from rather different perspectives, like playing with special and uncommon articulations or sending through various modular effects and much more.

Rude Bass Strings

This instrument fills up the low-end of your symphonic range. It consists of several low-register string instruments, like Double Bass and Viola da Gamba, which were played with mallets instead of typical bows. This creates a characteristic and deep sound in the lower octaves that you are able to control in the engine.

Without the introduction and existence of drum computers and sample based rhythm sequencers, electronic music as we know it today would never have been possible. It influences and determines the understanding and working method of these genres in a significant way.

KLANG DRUMBOX is a homage to the history of this music and an attempt to express KLANG's love and passion for vintage drum computers and sample-based music production.

Destroying Keys

For the Cinimatique Instruments: Deconstructed Piano the KLANG team disassembled a piano to its soundboard and played, hit, stroked and destroyed it with a wide range of tools. In this DRUMBOX they extracted some percussive sounds and combined them with KLANG's sequencer, revealing an unusual perspective of piano sounds.

Linn or Oberheim

Dig out your headbands, we’re going back to the 80’s. Inspired by nostalgic feelings KLANG resampled some of the most iconic drum boxes of the disco genre and processed them in the typical manner of the time.

Warm up your legs before trying out this instrument, because it’s going to be danceable.

It's always amazing how musical ordinary electronic household objects can sound. For example, the sonorous buzz of a neon lamp can give you a relaxed, warm feeling. So KLANG recorded the hum and buzz of a neon lamp in a basement, put a filter on it, edited it and combined it with some other sounds to create this deep pad.

Drums, basses, guitars... and beyond!

Acoustic Isolation delivers 200 ready-to-rock kits covering stunning sounding drum grooves and percussion loops as well as a huge range of pianos, strings, guitars and synthesizer loops.

It is a state-of-the-art loop module for KONTAKT containing 800 different loops that can be played in tandem across three categories (Groove, Percussion and Melody). A fourth user part lets you import your own WAV loops via drag and drop with a breeze.

All loops are (unencrypted) 24-bit / 48KHz WAV files. These loops can be played polyphonically time-stretched within a range of two octaves (24 semitones).

Each part has its own colour-coded range on the keyboard. You can alternatively play the loops sliced using the "SLICE" button in the sequencer pages.

There are special MIDI trigger keys/notes that enable you to retrigger a currently playing slice (when a sequencer is turned on) or to trigger a volume "trance gate" per part.

Drag and Drop Audio Files

Acoustic Isolation allows you to import your own WAV loops simply via drag and drop. Save your customized Acoustic Isolation instrument as an NKI instrument or snapshot for later use. Each engine can hold up to 128 custom WAV files.

The Mix Page

From here you can mix and match the individual loops (parts).

You have four displays that show the current (loaded) loop. From there you can select different loops or let Acoustic Isolation choose new ones by clicking on the "R" buttons (randomize).

When you press SHIFT and ALT/OPTION on the first randomize button on the mix page (BASS section), then that will also alter the sequencer state randomly (on or off) and choose a random sequencer preset for all four parts.

For almost all controls you can press ALT/OPTION and adjust the value for all parts at once. (It´s always stated in KONTAKT’s information window). CONTROL/COMMAND will reset values. SHIFT is for fine-tuning.

The SPACE knobs set the amount of convolution reverb for the selected part. The "SPACE" toggle button must be enabled in the FX page.

The FX buttons can be used to enable or disable FX sections for the parts. The SEQ buttons will enable/disable the per-part sequencer.

The Edit Page

The EDIT page lets you set up parameters for each of the four parts.

Acoustic Isolation features per-part loop speed control (half, normal and double speed). When importing custom WAV files, the speed control won’t be available anymore.

You got a filter modifier with cutoff and resonance, amplifier and filter envelope control, modwheel mapping (volume, lowpass or highpass filter cutoff), pitch bend range as well as a solid bus compressor, tape-saturation, a lowcut and a stereo width adjustment.

The FX Page

Acoustic Isolation comes with a comprehensive onboard FX section. Besides the basic bread-and-butter effects like auto-pan, flanger and delay, you also got some more interesting effects:

The STEP FILTER is a tempo-synced bandpass filter that randomly changes iitscutoff. The AMOUNT controls the strength of the cutoff sweeps. The STEP GATE is a classical volume "trance gate".  In the middle are on/off toggle buttons for the various effect sections. To the right is a preset menu with 32 presets and a randomize button that chooses one randomly.

The SPACE REVERB comes with 60 impulse responses that you can choose via the dropdown menu.

The Seq Page

Perhaps the most interesting thing in ACOUSTIC ISOLATION. Each part has a 2 x 32 step sequencer that lets you not only control the sample offset per part but also the loop offset. So basically it loads 32 loops per part into the RAM and then you can offset which one to play, which delivers really interesting results in no time!

Furthermore, each part has 32 presets (together with the famous "R" button), a rate control (1/2 , 1/4,  1/8, 1/16), start step and end step offset knobs + a SLICE and a GATE button:

GATE button: If the current step in the first (sample offset) sequencer is 0 it won´t play the loop at this moment. (Required for some presets.)

SLICE button: Let´s you play the first 24 slices on the keyboard of the selected loop chromatically. ("AKAI-Style"). It will then use the default pitch, that you can still change using the SEMI knobs on the mix page

On top of that, you can even record your own pattern data using the pattern recording buttons for either sample offset (SO) or loop offset (LO).

Xmas Beer Bottles

Important Note: This is a software instrument designed for the full version of the NI Kontakt engine, and is not a physical product!

Santa is coming to AudioThing! As the title suggests, Xmas Beer Bottles features samples from beer bottles especially brewed for Christmas. You will find carefully drunk sampled whistles, hits, and sound gestures along with custom sound designed instruments.

The Softer Side of Things

Important note: The Full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8.1 or above required to run this software.

Supine delivers truly unique and inspiring sounds right out of the box. It is an ambient loop and multisample instrument module for Kontakt containing 350 different kits that can be played in tandem across four categories (Pad, Synth 1 & 2 and FX). These kits are built using the included 975 (unencrypted) 24-bit WAV files. All loops can be played polyphonically timestretched within a range of two octaves.

Supine delivers 50 beautiful-sounding synthesizer arpeggios (with minor/major velocity key-switching), 50 smooth and silk pad sounds as well as over 100 chords (minor/major switching), drones and textures. Besides the polyphonic time-stretchable loops, Supine also offers a wealth of multi-sampled ambient and acoustic instruments like brasses, wind sounds, plucks, pianos, keys and synthesizers.

Minor/Major Loop Velocity Switching

Most loop libraries that offer pre-made content are stuck to one key and / or scale. Supine shines here: It comes with loops, that can be played polyphonically time-stretched (in any key/tempo) and does also offer these as minor/major variations, switchable via velocity. That means you can create complex harmonies and chord progressions easily.

The MIX Page

From here you can mix and match the individual loops (parts). The top LCD shows the current kit or simply "---USER---" if you’ve modified the kit or loaded a different loop. You have 4 LC-displays that show the current (loaded) loop. From there you can select different loops or let SUPINE choose new ones by clicking on the "R" buttons (randomize).

The randomize buttons have different functions depending on what key you press at the same time:

• NO KEY: chooses a random loop from the part’s loop list.
• SHIFT: randomizes parameters in the FX and EDIT page and chooses a random FX preset.
• ALT/OPTION: chooses a random loop for all four parts at once.
• SHIFT + ALT/OPTION: chooses a random loop for all parts + randomizes FX and EDIT page values (random FX preset).

The SOLO buttons can be used to solo parts. For almost all controls you can press ALT/OPTION and adjust the value for all parts at once. CONTROL/COMMAND will reset values. SHIFT is for fine-tuning. The SPACE knobs set the amount of convolution reverb for the selected part. The FX buttons can be used to enable or disable FX sections for the parts. The SEQ buttons will enable/disable the per-part sequencer.

On top of that, you can even record your own pattern data using the pattern recording buttons for either sample offset (SO) or loop offset (LO). There are 8 user-patterns available for that purpose (that get saved to disk as well).

KLANG love tape sounds. So the TAPED collection of instruments are all about the inspiring potential of the nostalgic feelings around tape. Listening to radioplays before sleeping as a child, recording demo tracks on a four track.

Bringing back the warmness and imperfection with saturation, wow & flutter by playing instruments through all kind of tape gear and experimenting with it. TAPED is a nostalgic journey emphasizing the beauty of imperfection.

Unique Rhodes

KLANG wanted more metal in their tape collection. So they send a Rhodes through tape hardware to create a warm and fluttering tape sound. In order to enrich the sound, KLANG layered a grainy processed vibraphone sound.

Swayed Keys contains a balance knob to control the amount of the grainy layers which is linkable to the modwheel, a knob to control the amount of a tremolo and a tone knob. You can further shape the sound with phaser, distortion, delay and reverb controls.

Cinematic Sound Module

Important note: The Full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8.1 or above required to run this software.

Synferno is a cinematic Sound Module containing 300 different kits that can be played in tandem across 4 categories (Bass, Synth, Ambient and Groove).

These 300 Kits can be loaded by dragging and dropping the separate *.NKI files or by using the snapshot function. Loops can be played polyphonically time-stretched within a range of two octaves. Each part has its own colour-coded range on the keyboard. You can alternatively play the loops sliced using the "SLICE" button in the SEQ page.

There are special MIDI trigger keys/notes that enable you to turn on/off the FX per part, retrigger a currently playing slice (when the sequencer is turned on) and to trigger a volume "trance-gate" per part.

The MIX Page

From here you can mix and match the individual loops (parts). The top LCD shows the current kit or simply "---USER---" if you've modified the kit or loaded another loop. You have 4 LCD´s that represent the current (loaded) loop.  From there you can select different loops or let Synferno choose new ones by clicking on the "R" buttons. (Randomize).

The "R" buttons have different functions depending on what key you press at the same time:

• NO KEY: chooses random loop from the part´s loop list.
• SHIFT: randomizes parameters in the FX and EDIT page, as well as choosing a random FX preset.
• ALT: chooses a random loop for all four parts at once.
• SHIFT + ALT: chooses a random loop for all parts + randomizes FX and EDIT page values (random FX preset).

When you press SHIFT and ALT on the first "R" button on the mix page (BASS section) that also alters the sequencer state (on/off) + chooses a random sequencer preset for ALL parts.

The SOLO buttons can be used to solo parts. Clicking any SOLO button with COMMAND/ALT or SHIFT will deactivate any active solo. For almost all controls you can press ALT and adjust the value for all parts at once. COMMAND/CONTROL will reset values. SHIFT is for fine-tuning. The SPACE knobs set the amount of convolution reverb for the selected part. The FX buttons can be used to enable or disable FX sections for the parts.

Pure Inspiration

When you think of a flute, elegant, clear tones might be the first thing that come to mind. Detaching themselves from this, KLANG recorded a flute through an analogue tape delay while changing settings as the recording went on. Combining a calm and a noisy layer KLANG created a unique sound that they call Taped Flute.

Halloween Pumpkins

Important Note: This is a software instrument designed for the full version of the NI Kontakt engine, and is not a physical product!

Halloween Pumpkins features samples and unusual sound design experiments with traditional Halloween pumpkins. You will find spooky bowed textures, creepy hits, plucked rubber bands, a fake transistor organ and of course an experimental impulse response of the inside of a large pumpkin. The pumpkins were sampled with two mics, a large diaphragm condenser mic and a piezo attached directly to the skin, then mixed to match the perfect eerie sound.

Without the introduction and existence of drum computers and sample based rhythm sequencers, electronic music as we know it today would never have been possible. It influences and determines the understanding and working method of these genres in a significant way.

KLANG DRUMBOX is a homage to the history of this music and an attempt to express KLANG's love and passion for vintage drum computers and sample-based music production.

Sample with Charm

A hip-hop inspired DRUMBOX truly celebrating the sound characteristics of vinyl sampling. With its roughly compressed sounds it's the perfect kick-start for inspiration for your productions.

Charming Noise

The KLANG team noticed that this old cassette radio laying around in the corner of their studio had a recording function. With no time to waste, they fed it with a kalimba and a xylophone to offer a mix between wood and metal. Completed with a decay layer KLANG got the warm percussive tape sounds they aimed for.

Magical Toy Keyboard

Important Note: This is a software instrument designed for the full version of the NI Kontakt engine, and is not a physical product!

Years ago we used to do circuit bending and we had many little toy keyboards around. This one was perfect for 8bit and chiptunes genres or just for fun. A little custom GUI let you choose to extend the original range of the instrument and to enable velocity to control the volume of the instrument. There is, also, a low pass filter (just 1 pole) to cut unwanted noise from original samples. The rhythms patch has each rhythm mapped to the white keys (just like the original) and they are tempo-synced to your DAW/sequencer.

Glockenspiel with Chunky Keys

Important Note: This is a software instrument designed for the full version of the NI Kontakt engine, and is not a physical product!

Toy Bars features samples from a forgotten musical toy. The instrument consists of a small glockenspiel operated by the chunky keys. The sounds were sampled with condenser and binaural microphones, with 5 round robin repetitions. The key release noises were sampled separately and can be adjusted to taste.

This library also includes hits on the back of the plastic case along with slowed down samples.
