In Session Audio – Fluid Harmonics KONTAKT

Fluid Harmonics is an instrument designed to create richly layered melodic patterns with ease.

Why guitar harmonics?

They have a familiar yet mystical sound to them. A purity and clarity. You can tell it’s guitar – but there’s something a bit different – something special. More sparkle. More chime.

With a slew of effects, sound shaping tools and autoplay rhythmic and melodic features at your fingertips, Fluid Harmonics can go from from organic to hybrid to electronic with ease.

TRIPLE PLAY ENGINE

The idea had been rattling in our heads for a while. Years actually.

What if we could create an instrument that allowed the user to:

• Select three sound sources to layer together
• Arpeggiate the three sound sources with independent patterns, rates and playback modes
• Shape and effect the three sound sources independent of one another
• Select any effect directly from the interface (and swap their positions on the fly)
• Humanize the three sound sources independent of one another

With nearly six months of development, we did it!

We look forward to putting it in your hands.

FEATURES

• 18 electric guitars
• 12 acoustic guitars
• 100 custom made synth sets

All acoustic guitar and bass guitar sample sets are presented in versions played with fingers AND with a pick, bringing the guitar sample set count to 44.

All guitars feature triple round robin cycling for natural variation.

To improve playability all guitars were tuned to allow samples to be recorded below and above the standard range of the instruments.

152 patches split into four categories:

– Triple Play Electric (40)
– Triple Play Acoustic (40)
– Rhythmic Pulses w Mod Wheel (24)
– Solo (48)

• 64 custom reverb impulse responses
• 12 custom amp cabinet impulse responses
• 64 custom fx unit presets

Triple Play rhythm grids can modify up to 15 parameters simultaneously (arp, pitch, filter cutoff, volume and pan x 3)

The Triple Play engine supports up to 22 user-selected Kontakt effects at once, plus an additional three filters, three send delays and three send reverbs, for a total of 31 (!) simultaneous effects.
