Mechanalog

A creaky, rather detuned "mechanical" synth, which makes its sounds with a Heath-Robinson sort of mechanism involving lots of tiny little gears and ratchets.

The main samples are from my venerable Korg MS20 (not strictly speaking mechanical, but very definitely analog). In addition to these, there are grindy noises and Hammond-type keyclicks.

Perfect for a grindy reese bassline, good for leads and for when you need that retro-funky but not-quite-adequately-lubricated disco sound.

As usual, this patch is optimized for real-time playability: The mod-wheel goes to the filter cutoff, and key-pressure brings in vibrato. Pitch-bend is 2 octaves.

The custom Kontakt panel has controls the amount of mechanical noise, pitch and amount of keyclick.
