REQ: 12-Bit Crunch Jazz Machine 1.1 Kontakt
Conceptually think of it like this: imagine you're digging for vinyl and you find an insane library record that has like 300 solo chords played in all twelve keys and on various cool vintage instruments. 'Jazz Machine' is like a sampler patch with all those crackly chords ripped, pre-loaded and ready to lay some drums under!
Depending on which octave you're in, you'll hear a different chord flavour. From bottom to top you have Major 7, Minor 7, 13, ♭13, 7#9, Sus and m7♭5. As they're in all twelve keys- that's 84 different types of chord!
On-the-fly you can switch between 4 vintage instruments:
A Challen Upright Piano
A '66 Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar
A Rhodes home piano (i.e a '73 mkI)
A Deagan Vibraphone*
If you're new to music, you'll be sounding like a real jazz cat in no time. If you're a fully fledged keyboard player, we guarantee you'll come up with some new progressions, as Jazz Machine's 'one-chord-type-per-octave’ method takes you way out of your comfort zone!
Additionally you have 4 different articulations switchable through velocity and mod-wheel: Straight, Chops (attack trimmed off), Rakes and Melody top-notes.
