Bamboo Stick Ensemble elevates the simple bamboo pole to a compelling instrument of sound. Crafted for Kontakt, this library captures the essence of raw bamboo with a depth and intensity suitable for cinematic scoring. It features not only the traditional percussive sounds—strikes, clashes, and scrapes—but also explores the haunting tonal possibilities of bamboo, with drones, screeches, and wails that resonate when the poles are ground against stone surfaces.
Key Features:
- Extensive Sampling: Over 456 stereo samples across 592 MB, recorded at 24 bit / 48 kHz quality for crisp, resonant sound.
- Dynamic Articulations: From aggressive slaps and sharp clacks to eerie sustaining howls, each sound has been meticulously recorded with up to 10 round robin variations per velocity layer.
- Creative Control: The Kontakt interface includes comprehensive controls for swell, attack, release, vibrato, pitch adjustment, and more, plus 20 custom FX presets for immediate sound design.
- Versatile Categories: Includes three distinct instrument categories: Percussion, Tonal Effects, and Special FX, offering a broad sonic palette for any musical project.
- Professional Quality: Recorded in a lush tile and stone hall, optimized to capture the massive, epic percussion sound ideal for high-impact cinematic scores.
This library is not only a tool but an exploration into the transformative power of non-traditional instruments in music production, featured in major films like Avatar and Tron Legacy.
