Shake is an amazing collection of 95 shakers, tambourines, rattles, and bells from around the world. British instrumentalist and media composer David Oliver's dynamic live percussion performances are at the heart of this deep and stylistically diverse sample library. It has all you need for your next composition, from tiny soft plastic and raw hide egg shakers to unique instruments improvised by David. With an intuitive multi - layered modular UI, you can freely mix, layer, affect, and customize each sound. David recorded loads of live grooves, fills, and individually sampled hits. The library includes African, Latin American, Indian, and World instruments with authentic recordings for films, games, and various music genres. He carefully selected these recordable instruments and sliced the performances into seamless loops at different tempos and time signatures. The built - in loop browser helps you easily filter searches. Once loops are loaded, you can fine - tune them. The Kontakt interface offers automation - ready sound - shaping controls, 20 custom FX presets, an adaptable LFO system, 12 filters, a customizable arpeggiator, and a key and scale lock system. The modular FX rack panel has 18 DSP effect modules. The reverb effect includes great impulse responses. And there are FX rack chain factory presets to start with. This library is licensed for the free Kontakt Player, compatible with Kontakt 6.1 or later, Komplete Kontrol, and S - Series Keyboards. Buying it gives you a cross - grade discount for the full unlocked Kontakt.
Using the Shake percussion sample library is a breeze. First, make sure you have the free Kontakt Player (version 6.1 or later) installed. Add the product to the Kontakt 'Libraries' browser and register the serial number through the Native Access app. To start creating, use the built - in loop browser to find the loops you need. You can filter by style, instrument keywords, tempo, and time signature. Once you've found your favorite loops, load them into the slot grid. Then, you can adjust each loop's settings like playback direction, slice order, and more. You can also use the sound - shaping controls in the Kontakt interface to get the exact sound you want. When it comes to the FX, play around with the 18 DSP effect modules in the modular FX rack panel to add different effects to your sounds. Remember, this library is quite large, so make sure your computer has enough storage space. It's also a good idea to keep your Kontakt Player and Native Access apps up - to - date for the best performance. There's no special maintenance needed, just enjoy creating amazing music with this great library!
