Product Description

• TRUE HYBRID DRUMS Konstruktor is a hybrid drum designer and kit builder that blends acoustic sound sources with synthesized waveforms. Together with both fully acoustic and fully synthetic elements
• this kit builder creates truly hybrid drums with a unique
• fresh new sound. CONVOLUTION COLORS Model each kit component with its own convolution plugin: almost 400 custom impulses that color
• shape
• distort
• and augment the drum samples. Thicken kick drums
• smear and widen snares
• turn hi-hats into mini rhythm engines. Glitchbomb
• Drumrust
• Echoglitz
• Boomscope… ROBOT OR HUMAN? Control the amount of randomization that is applied to velocity and quantization—separately for each kit component. Make those snares and hi-hats extra trashy. And with 6 round-robin layers for every articulation
• even fully synthetic kits can find a new groove. Let those kits run loose. PERFORMANCE CONTROL Adjustments to tuning
• sample start points
• decay envelopes
• and sample width can also be used to control how different convolution impulses color an instrument. Subtle tuning changes
• in particular
• will often reveal new and unexpected frequency effects that can help to shape a whole kit. FILTER CONTROL Each of the 7 kit components has three dedicated
• independently selectable lowpass
• bandpass
• and highpass filters
• each with dedicated cutoff and resonance knobs for on-the-fly switching. Filtering offers another way to control how the convolution impulse colors the sound. STATS 3

ACOUSTIC-SYNTHETIC From the start Klüsterkitt was about capturing the dirt and rattle of new and exotic acoustic sound sources
• then blending and sculpting those wonderfully noisy
• full-spectrum stereo sounds with synthesized ones. The hunt for fresh
• distinctive percussive sounds was a process of experimentation using a range of de/reconstructed acoustic objects. The four dozen instruments born from this process formed the sound palettes for Konstruktor
• Fabrikator (coming soon)
• and Rezonator (coming soon). Playing techniques were honed to produce the most useful and interesting articulations for recording. Session samples were then selectively mixed with pure tone waveforms
• each tailored to color and transform them into new
• truly hybridized rhythm instruments. Supplemented by fully acoustic variants and over 200 synthetic percussion sources
• the result is a kit builder of astonishing depth and character. ONE STEP FURTHER What acoustic-synthetic blending did for the individual instruments
•  convolution would do for the drum kit. Almost 400 impulses were designed using vinyl/radio/tape/digital noise and static
• particulate and granular effects
• digital and acoustic sound effects
• frequency modeling
• mic effects and chorusing
• and stereo imaging. Some impulses are designed to affect particular frequency ranges
• or to expand the feeling of depth and space around them
• while others are designed to enhance the stereo image
• create audio effects
• or to generate interesting syncopations and multirhythms. Many of the impulses are designed to add dirt and texture to samples. Packed with this kit builder are 108 beautifully constructed kits of big
• full-sounding drums: acoustic-flavored synthetic drums and synthetic-flavored acoustic drums. Now with multi-out capability. System Requirements: 5.7.1 Full Version (Not for Kontakt Player)
