Unique & Powerful
Important note: This product requires a FULL version of Native Instruments' KONTAKT. The free Kontakt player is not sufficient, as it only runs the instrument in DEMO mode.
Origins Vol.1: Steel Tongue & Sansula is the first instalment of the Sonuscore Origins Series, a new line of instruments developed by the critically acclaimed team at Dynamedion.
Two unique instruments combined in the powerful Multi-Arpeggio-Designer (MAD) meld into rich and diverse sonic landscapes. With a vast set of inspiring presets and easy customization, the Sonuscore Origins Series provides extensive possibilities for creative scoring.
The Sansula is a recent advancement of the Kalimba, which has its roots in traditional African music. Played by plucking metal tines attached to a membrane, the Sansula has a soft, but rich sound. The Steel Tongue Drum is a modern instrument played with mallets or by hand. With its percussive sound, it forms the perfect pendant to the Sansula.
Multi-arpeggio designer
The multi-arpeggio-designer is the centrepiece of every Origins instrument. Two fully customizable arpeggiators create interlocking patterns and broad soundscapes by combining the unique timbres of the two instruments. The engine is designed to convey a musically meaningful, human performance, instead of a computer randomly aligning notes. Load up one of 80+ inspiring presets or create your own arpeggios in as much detail as you like. The MAD provides a variety of different features and controls to realize your musical vision.
Created your own ingenious arpeggio design and want to use it with another Origins product? Simply copy and paste your design to use it on the fly in any other instrument of the Origins series.
Colours menu
The 12 individual colour presets provide even more possibilities to sculpt your sound. All colours are radically different in character and incorporate various effect settings and multiple impulse responses. While each MAD-Preset has an assigned colour preset, you can combine everything at will, resulting in over 900 predefined combinations.
