The Fatty 311 from Soundiron pays homage to the Conn Prelude 311 organ's rich tonal heritage. Conn, an American musical instrument manufacturer founded in 1915, was well - known for brass instruments before its electric organ became a best - seller in the 1950s. After facing bankruptcy when the household organ craze ended, it was acquired by Steinway in 2000. Soundiron's Prelude model features a real spring reverb unit, two 44 - key keyboards, a Min - O - Matic rhythm machine, and a wide array of emulated instrument sounds. Its classic 1970s wooden body not only looks great but also produces a warm, analog sound that stands out in any mix. We've sampled its best sustains, staccatos, and effects from three microphone positions to bring your MIDI tracks to life. You can easily use vibrato and an 'Octave' knob to add variety to your tones. The library also includes numerous custom FX patches and ambient synth pads, making it highly playable and versatile. Whether you're aiming for old - school video game sounds, huge synth bass tones, or hymnal music, the Fatty 311 can meet your needs. The Kontakt interface offers a suite of automation - ready sound - shaping controls, an adaptable LFO system, customizable arpeggiator, key and scale lock system, and a modular FX rack panel with 27 DSP effect modules. The reverb effect comes with a wide range of impulse responses and custom FX impulses. This library is designed for Native Instruments Kontakt 6.2.2 or later. It has many features and is a standard open - format library with unlocked sample directories for use in other wav - compatible software. The package includes electro organ samples in three mic positions, various synth instrument sounds, 21 powerful Kontakt presets, 20 custom FX presets, 8,700 stereo samples, and more.
Using the Fatty 311 is a breeze. First, make sure you have Native Instruments Kontakt 6.2.2 or later installed. Once you load the library, you can start exploring the different sound - shaping controls on the Kontakt interface. Play around with the swell, attack, release, and other parameters to get the sound you want. You can also use the 'Octave' knob and vibrato to add more flavor to your music. When it comes to the effects, the modular FX rack panel gives you a lot of options. Just drag and drop the DSP effect modules into the available slots in the order you prefer. For the reverb effect, choose from the different rooms, halls, chambers, and custom FX impulses to create unique soundscapes. Remember, the free Kontakt Player only runs the library in a limited 'demo mode', so it's best to use the full retail version. To keep your library in good condition, make sure your computer has enough storage space as it takes up 6.17 GB when installed. Also, keep your Kontakt software updated to ensure compatibility and access to the latest features.
