Product Detail
The theme of Soundiron Clack 3.0 is straightforward. We aimed to capture a wealth of sharp, bright, warm, and tonal wooden impact percussion sounds. We recorded various wooden items like bamboo poles, logs, claves, woodblocks, clappers, a box drum, and other wooden implements that truly represent the 'thwack' sound. These sounds are perfect for auxiliary percussion in orchestral compositions and epic film, TV, or game soundtracks. They're also essential in Latin music and hip - hop, and great for experimental music and IDM. We recorded these sets up close and 90% dry in a medium - sized hardwood and masonry percussion studio, giving just the right body and liveliness. Each instrument was captured with 10 round - robins per velocity layer and an average of 6 velocity layers per note. For Clack 3.0, we remastered the samples, integrated them into our efficient four - layer modular template, and created new ambient pads and atmospheres. We also designed 20 new custom FX presets to inspire your next musical project. The Kontakt interface offers automation - ready sound - shaping controls for total creative freedom. You can control swell, attack, release, and many other parameters. There are 20 unique custom FX presets, an adaptable LFO system, 12 selectable filters, a customizable arpeggiator, a key and scale lock system, and a modular FX rack panel with 18 DSP effect modules. The reverb effect includes 99 different environments and 40 custom FX impulses. We've also added a bank of FX rack chain factory presets. This library is for Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later. It's a standard Kontakt open - format library. The free Kontakt Player has limited support, but you can use the sample directories in other wav - compatible software. Features include one master NKI instrument bank, various wooden instruments, 20 ambience patches, 24 bit/48 kHz uncompressed PCM wav samples, 20 custom presets, 2,896 stereo WAV files, and 1.01 GB installed size, along with flexible user interface controls and a full FX rack.

When it comes to note composition, the key and scale lock system can help you stay in common scales and keys. As for maintenance, keep your Kontakt software up - to - date.
