Antidrum 1

Antidrum 1 is an experimental “found-sound” instrument library that contains 18 unconventional tuned and percussive sound collections, sampled in a variety of real-world locations. It is a celebration of everyday objects and sounds and how they can be transformed into strange and compelling new musical instruments.

This library includes uniquely playable instrument banks that range from heavy work boot stomps to resonant water cooler impacts, clicking baby toys, red rubber playground ball bounces, hand-slapped ukulele and guitar shell "drums", shock mount kick thumps, hand clap ensembles, nail gun shots, male ensemble shouts, drum circle strikes and grooves, and much, much more. Some instruments are recorded in ensemble, while others are captured solo.

Antidrum 1 features a custom user interface for Kontakt (v5.5 or later), with a veritable cornucopia of handy control features and effects, such as dynamic arpeggiation and convolution reverb with 70 different halls, rooms, spaces, and FX. You'll also find a great selection of sound-designed ambient pads, leads, and atmospheres included with this library, each hand-crafted from the raw source recordings to provide excellent accompaniment and texture to fatten your mixes.

The custom scripted Kontakt user interface built into this library comes equipped with flexible control features, like attack, release, transient offset, dynamic swelling, filter type selection, resonant filter sweep, and a robust Arpeggiator system that provides a full range of custom dynamic arpeggiation modes and step sequencer pattern creation options. There’s also a complete DSP effects rack, including convolution reverb with dozens of unique spaces, such as cathedrals, churches, halls, bunkers, garages, tunnels, chambers, rooms, and plenty of otherworldly FX impulses to fully explore and endless variety of strange and unexpected sonic manipulations.
