Imagiksound Bundle

MOON is an instrument to create evolving ethereal textures. Not typical pads but something between fx and pads. The natural mood is quite dark and gloomy, perfect for sci-fi and thrilling scenes as well as for Ambient, Dark Ambient and other musical genres. It is featured with a two sections GUI.

The Main section where the user can choose the textures for the two layers and a low control system, just only a sine LFO and all the typical volume/pan/envelope encoders.

The Lab section comes with a convolution reverb and a rotator, this last one could influence a bit the low frequencies with a kind of cut. The deep controller sets are the Formant section and the Ladder filter that could transform in heavy manner the textures sound.

There’s always a central small display that shows the values so that the user can control his/her manouvres. When the user finds an interesting sound, he can save the whole instrument in the User folder, obviously starting from the INIT starting instrument.

In the Instruments folder you can find ten instrument examples just to give you an idea about MOON powerful engine.

NEBULAE is a deep-sampling based virtual polyphonic synth for Kontakt by Native instruments.

Through a selector knob you can choose from thirty presets.

The Formant effect is controlled by an LFO, then you can handle its rate by the first knob.

All the controls have the bypass button but the Volume and the Envelope.

Nebulae is created for Ambient, Electronic and Cinematic music.

Please note: You must have the full version of Kontakt 5.8 or above. If you have Kontakt Player it will only work in demo mode.

Soave Sordino Strings is the result of mixed sampling from sample based digital strings machines treated with equalizers, image expanders and various effect. The strings sections is the typical orchestral configuration.

The first violins on the left and so the sound of them is on the left in the stereo image and so on, with the double basses on the extreme right.

There are five sections (1st Violins, 2nd Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Basses) and each have their own volume knobs.

As you can see the Soave’s GUI is really simple, just a Main Volume (Gain) on the left, an Attack knob on the right and a Transient button below the Violas section to bypass the slow attack and gives a fake legato when play a melody.

Obviously, Soave comes with only one articulation known as “Con Sordino”, so it’s useful for very slow tempo beats, from Largo to Adagio.

The other control named “Altered” implements a randomized pitch to the notes played in a kind of slow “chaotic” way. That’s quite useful for stochastic composition styles.

Update V2:

The first improvement is about the deep re-sampling of all the string sections with a more accurate orchestral stereo positions. The second one is the purge of the samples when a whole section is dismissed, that will free the memory when the section volume value is equal to zero. It can be obtained in two ways, through the sections switches on the left or through the section volume knob when you turn it on the left till the zero value. You will notice the exclusion of a section by the obscuration of its in the graphic scheme and in the low value of the amount in the memory in Kontakt info panel.

Please note: You must have the full version of Kontakt 6.2.2 or above. If you have Kontakt Player it will only work in demo mode.

Elektra is an imaginary/designed electric piano from the fifties. Quite far from Rhodes and Wurlitzer sound, it comes with a smokey and dreamy sound all over its 88 keys.

Its engine is based on a FM piano made by me with Reaktor 5 some years ago.

Every note is sampled using three instances of my Reaktor ELECTROPIANO, set different from each other. The central instance is the body, the left one is cutted on the high frequencies and em-phatized basses dispite the right one with low frequencies cutted and emphatized high ones.

The Tremolo is lead by an LFO sine wave that controls the pan of the sound. It can be activated by the relative button on the right side and its speed controlled by the relative knob on the left side.

The Felt button smoothes the sound and the Convolution Reverb is activated by the button while the size of the reverb is handled by the knob. The samples are divided by soft and hard for a more realistic touch on the keyboard.

A weighted keyboard is recommended ;)

Biosynth is a deep-sample based virtual synth for Kontakt.

Biosynth comes with three Bio-Oscillators, each one with six atypical wave forms (not the common Triangle, Saw-tooth etc.).

Though configured as a typical analog synth, Biosynth builds the sounds mixing three of the six drone/ambient looped wave samples and then they are filtered through a Phaser fx controlled by a multi-wave LFO.

Beside the Envelope you can find a Delay, a Flanger and a Reverb, all controlled by the knobs for each parameters as you wish.

Here the third and last Ambient texturizing library, PROFUNDO. The trilogy started with MOON and was followed by NEBULAE.

PROFUNDO is an A.T.S. (Aleatory Texturizing Synthesizer) for Kontakt by Native Instruments ©.

It contains six layers, each one with four different samples to create a texturized sound controlled by a random pitch engine, generating aleatory harmonies in a costant evolving fashion.

The moods are quite gloomy and dark, so perfect for Cinematic, Dark Ambient, Industrial and other musical genres related.

The Aleatory principle in music started in the beginning of 1950 at the Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music, though examples could be found earlier in the late 15th century and first decade of 1900. From 1957 composers as Pierre Boulez and Stockhausen used that principle in some works. We could say that John Cage used a kind of aleatory principle that must be called better indeterminate music.

The Rhythmalist is a three-mallets FM Reaktor built with an arpeggiator and a "squelchy" filter effect just to fit in a kind of Ethnic/Ambient music environment.

Full version of Kontakt 5.8.1 is required. Not for Kontakt player.

USX stands for Ultra Synthesizer Experience. It is a 3 Oscillator virtual synthesizer.

All oscillators have the 4 basic waveforms (Sine, Triangle, Saw and Pulse) and all waveforms can be loaded together in spite the subtractive synthesis, so you can use and mix the single volumes and attacks of all the waveforms from the three oscillators together, twelve waveforms at the same time.

Every single wave has a a six value pitch controller. There’s a “drone” wave with a melting electronic glitchering sound that can be added with its volume and pitch controller too, you can find it pushing the Effects section button and show the other section, just close the Main Gain.

In the Effects section you can handle the three modulation parameters and the reverb, while in the GUI bottom there are the two Ladder filters handle knobs.

Mostly for Ambient music and Electronic music.

Please Note: The Full version of Kontakt 6.2.2 is required. Not for Kontakt Player.

Changelog V1.1:

Improved CPU usage

Cyanure is the first product of a new line. It’s a three independent Sine waves generated with Reaktor ® by Native Instruments, just all stereo pan set and the center Sine wave is augmented by an environmental sample.

The three orbital controls handle Ladder LP4 Filter, Flair, Flanger and Tune. There are three volume knobs for every sine wave and the global ADSR Envelope knobs. The button “Random configurations” generates ever different combinations for the three Sine sources and the Brute source while the “Alpha button” initializes the randomized parameters.

You can save and load the configuration presets. The “Save button” can store the three orbital configurations, their volumes, the global envelope, the Brute factor, the Delay and Reverb parameters into the Data subfolder, where you can find the Init.nka preset and just some further example presets.

This vocal library is based on five soprano singers ensemble sampled at 96kHz and 24 bit. The range is the typical C3-C5 soprano ex-tension of 2 octaves.

Every note is sampled with about 20 seconds of time duration, that it’s the normal duration of a professional singer, so no looped note is present but the three very low volume drones that you can hear at the end of the sopranos notes. You can save and load the configuration presets. The only articulation is the long sustain, you could obtain “fake” staccato or spiccato handle with the envelope.

There are 10 example presets just to show you the various possibilities of transforming the basic samples. Only the filter, flanger, delay and formant morphing have the bypass switches upon the knobs. Be careful when you are handling the Filter, Flanger, Morph and Mystic knobs because the peaks, just adjust the main Gain knob. Though there’s a Limiter in the instruments, some frequencies could over the threshold.

We hope you enjoy the instrument as we hope you will be nice to tag us when you use it in a video or audio demo on the web.

Alien Machine is a drone generator and it has two main function, The Alien Factor and the Human Factor.

Using the Alien Factor you can control every parameters but the Tonalities and Exobiotype that are randomized with the keys touch.

The Tonalities knob handles the Pitch of the Flair Effect through the range of C-2 / B5, while the Exobiotype knob handles the Feedback amount of the Phasis effect. In the low row you can see the four knobs of the Envelope.

When you use the Alien Factor feature, be careful about the frequencies so it’s better you keep on low val-ues of the main volume handled by the big knob named Pressure.

LEVIATHAN is an ambient and drone soundscapes instrument for Kontakt.

It contains complex multifunctional controls under the skin, but the user just needs to handle very few knobs on the GUI, that allows a very fast and simple sound creation.

A random feature adds more speed to the new sound creation. As you can see in this manual, the GUI is very simple to learn.

You can save and load the presets you will create that will stored inside the Data subfolder.

There’s an automatic memory purging system about the samples loading to avoid the RAM overloading, that’s because the huge amount (over 60 seconds and more) of some samples.
