FrozenPlain Terracotta KONTAKT

Team SYNTHiC4TE | March 14 2014 | 450 MB
Terracotta comes with 8 ready-made variations; each one of these is instantly playable offering a variety of options for setting the sound in the mix. The variation called Sustained, for example, uses reverse flowerpot samples mixed with an organic sounding pad to create a sound backdrop. Weighted is a preset that uses samples from a larger terracotta bowl to add warmth and more low end to the pots. These are just two examples of sounds that the brilliant Terracotta library has to offer.

Here is the full list of layers in Terracotta:

Terracotta – the main flowerpot samples.
Resonation – samples from a large terracotta bowl with a lower pitch.
Celesta – flowerpot patch altered with a transient shaper to make a softer bell-like sound.
Steel String – a simple steel string pluck.
Pad – an organic sounding pad made from granular fiddling.
Music Box – a simple music box.
Reverse – these are reverse terracotta samples.

If you have the ‘Info’ button at the top of Kontakt selected, then when you mouse over these controls a brief description will be shown at the bottom.

The custom convolutions are made from a variety of sources; some are synthesised and some are real recordings. It is always surprising which sounds work great as impulses, Shivering Cold for example is a hideous synthesised noise, but when put though a convolution reverb it turns into a beautiful ambient backdrop. You can use these impulses in your other productions; all 21 of them can be found as .wav files in the Resources folder.

This library requires the full version of Kontakt 5 to work.
