Blendstrument Alive Percussion Kontakt VST-AU-AAX overview
Blendstrument Alive Percussion is the latest installment in our Blendstrument series. Blendstrument Alive Percussion allows you to create realistic tonal and non-tonal percussion grooves with a single click and with infinite variations. The Blendstrument contains a highly advanced randomization feature – allowing you to create an infinite amount of combinations and can never produce the same instrument twice.
Blendstrument Alive Percussion was created by Academy Award, TEC and G.A.N.G Award Winning Composer, Troels Folmann and a team of the best sound designers in the industry.
The Blendstrument Alive Percussion Edition was created around an advance PULSE architecture that allows the instrument to PULSE between different samples in sync with your DAW Host-Tempo. In addition it contains over 300 hand-crafted Textural Convolutions that creates a textural delay to the Blendstrument. The Blendstrument also comes with a full REVERSED patch, which gives that backwards feel to the Blendstrument. We also added our newest Chaos FX 3.3 and a brand new Panorama architecture that allows individual tuning and panning of each sample layer.
The Blendstrument is like an eternal box of chocolates. You never know what you are gonna get. But we promise whatever you create will be yours and yours only. It is our intention to offer this tool, so you can create something entirely unique.
So get Blendstrumenting, have fun and create the most delicious sonic chocolate!
Total Randomization & FX
The BLENDSTRUMENT is designed around the ability to randomize everything and create completely new sounds and instrument that no mortal soul has ever heard. This includes the ability to RANDOMIZE everything, including samples, sample parameters, global effects, anything that could possible be randomized. All it takes is a single click and you have created an entire, never heard before, universe of sounds.
Pulse Architecture
The BLENDSTRUMENT is designed to be a rhythmic, pulsing instrument that adapts to your DAW Host-Tempo. We designed in such a way that you can PULSE between two different pods, which each contains a fully loaded Blendstrument. The PULSE architecture allows you control all crucial elements in the pulsing, including MIX, PAN and SPEED of the PULSE. If that is not enough – try combining it with our advanced GATE function too.
Textural Convolutions
Textural Convolutions is a new way of using convolution to create textural delays. The idea is to use non-conventional convolution impulses to augment the existing sound. So when the instrument delays – you will not just get a normal delay of the instrument, but also get the delay and texture of the convolution. This concept is called Textural Convolutions and we hand-crafted over 300 new impulses for the Blendstrument. The Textural Convolutions can also be randomized.
Reversed Blendstrument
We also created the entire Blendstrument in REVERSE. Every single sample now plays backwards – creating an entirely new take on the Blendstrument. This is great for creating more underscore type of beds and works fantastic with regular Blendstrument too. A great trick is to load two instances of Blendstrument. One regular and one reversed. Assign them to same midi-channel and active one POD in each. You now have both forward and reversed at the same time.
Chaos Effects 3.3
The Blendstrument contains a massive global FX section and RANDOMIZATION system, but we also added our latest 3.3 FX Chaos Engine on top. This feature is recommended for power-users that want to shape their Blendstrumentation even further, including Filter, Step-Based Filter, EQ, Bit-Crusher, Distortion, Dual Stereo-Delay and two additional convolution systems on top of our custom Textural Convolutions.
Panorama
One of the most unique features of the Blendstrument is the fact that each sample comes in 5 completely different variations. You can control each of these variations independently, so essentially have 5 variations of the same sample behave, pan and pitch completely on their own. We call this feature PANORAMA. The PANORAMA creates highly advanced poly-rhythmic and poly-panoramic (new word!) feel to the Blendstrument.
