It’s great for taking small portions of the sounds and smelting them into bigger evolving loops, or rain like droplets, or even turning them into smeared-out wall of sound, similar to how granular synthesis can sound. Funny enough, even we weren’t expecting how versatile it’ll end up be.įurthermore, there’s the new swarm mode (beside other modes like polyphonic, mono & legato). It’s something that, we think, is quite special – add to that the unpredictable nature of tape loops, and you can spend hours messing with it. Most parameters can be modulated by various sources, so while it naturally excels in creating lofi, warm and (often unpredictable) evolving sounds, it’s also great for creating modern and cinematic stuff or even better – a mixture of both. Everything was recorded either on tape, cassette, microcassette, or cassette tape loops, so every sound already have a nice texture before you start messing with it (also because we just like to record things to tape). The sound sources were created using various hardware and software synthesizers and effects – from digital FM and physical modeling synths to both analog and digital eurorack modules and synths. Tapes.01 focuses on synth sounds and sound synthesis in general.
Lastly there’s the bottom section which by the way is available on both views – it contains the final set of controls to fine-tune the sound (noise, drift, compression, EQ, etc.). The middle section is the ‘modulation section’ – here you’ll find envelopes, sequencers, LFOs and MIDI controls. Upper section is the ‘audio section’, it has all the source controls, filter and effects. If you want to dive deeper into the instrument, then there’s the second page, divided into three horizontal sections, which contains all the controls: In the end it’s the first thing that you’ll see after loading most of the presets, and it’s a nice way to quickly find a sound you’re looking for or to shape further. Requires full version of Kontakt 6.60 or free Kontakt Player 6.60 (or higher) The Tapes interface is divided into two pages, the first page contains only the basic controls – volume, sample start, macros – just so you can start shaping the sound right away without worrying about the details.
Minimalistic, as simple as possible, the fewer pages and tabs, the better – we focused on this when developing the interface.
