Juggernaut由三个声音集组成：鼓、FX和贝斯，分布在两个Kontakt补丁和一组外部WAV文件中。鼓分为8类：踢腿、圈套、偷窃、撞击、溅水、砰击、perc和tonals，所有这些都有10倍的RR。FX包括扫掠、撞击、反转、纹理、上升和下降，而低音则分为实心、第一声、移动、失真和模糊。Drums&FX补丁包括一个带FX机架的32通道混音器、多种播放和试听模式以及数十个预设的分类套件。Bass补丁具有带滤波器的合成器风格界面、节奏定序器/门、更大的FX机架、封套和modwheel控制。
打造Juggernaut图书馆并非易事。我们与一支由杰出的声音设计师和电影、电视和游戏作曲家组成的团队一起，使用从老式模拟怪物到模块化链、吉他踏板、FM和波表合成的各种材料，制作了500多种独特的声源。没有使用滚筒机器。声音设计师包括Mick Gordon（《极品飞车》、《杀手本能》、《德军总部：新秩序》）、Jordan Fehr（《迈阿密热线》、《DKC归来》、《超级肉童》）、Erik Ekholm（《环球影业》、《UFC》、《Top Gear》）等，他们都在首席设计师Andrew Avessa的带领下为图书馆贡献了自己独特的声音。
最后，对于需要更多即时满足感和灵活性的工作作曲家，我们以WAV格式提供了所有FX和打击乐样本作为额外下载。添加额外的戏剧性过渡，如上升、反转和扫掠，只需将WAV拖动到DAW中并将其与您的轨迹对齐即可。这是一种非常简单的方法，可以在你的曲目中添加声音"耳糖"；在这和所有其他精灵之间，我们认为主宰者将很快成为你武器库中的重要工具。
接口和引擎
我们创建了一个真正可定制的仪器，而不是简单的预设集合。例如，鼓套件并没有被锁在Kontakt编辑器的深处。相反，它们以时尚的混音器风格界面呈现。您可以快速更换套件的各个部分，更改音量、平移或调音，以及添加整个套件效果，如瞬态设计、饱和度、混响、速度同步延迟、EQ炒作和过滤。只需单击一下，您就可以试听整个类别的声音，找到能激励您的完美踢腿、圈套或扫掠。您可以轻松地保存和加载自己的工具包。
与Bass补丁类似，您的指尖上有50多个低音源，从dubstep咆哮和讨厌的泛音到平滑的低音和不祥的刺。节奏音序器和FX部分都有自己的一组10+预设，这意味着对于任何给定的声源，您都可以为任何一种声音创建100多种变体，而无需了解合成！当然，如果你进一步深入研究，修改过滤器/LFO，分配midi CC，并创建自己的自定义模式，那么可能性真的是无穷无尽的。
Juggernaut consists of three sound sets: drums, FX, and basses, spread across two Kontakt patches and an external set of WAV files. Drums are divided into 8 categories: kicks, snares, thips, crashes, splashes, slams, perc, and tonals, all of which have 10x RR. FX include sweeps, impacts, reverses, textures, risers, and drops, while basses are categorized into Solid, 1shot, Mover, Distortion, and Fuzzy. The Drums & FX patch includes a 32-channel mixer with FX rack, multiple playing and audition modes, and dozens of preset categorized kits. The Bass patch features a synthesizer-style interface with filters, a rhythmic sequencer/gate, larger FX rack, envelopes, and modwheel control.
Crafting the library of Juggernaut was no small task. Together with a team of brilliant sound designers and film, TV, & game composers, we crafted over 500 unique sound sources using everything from vintage analog monsters to modular chains, guitar pedals, FM, and wavetable synthesis. NO drum machines were used. The roster of sound designers includes Mick Gordon (Need for Speed, Killer Instinct, Wolfenstein: The New Order), Jordan Fehr (Hotline Miami, DKC Returns, Super Meat Boy), Erik Ekholm (Universal, UFC, Top Gear) and others, all of whom contributed their unique voice to the library under lead designer Andrew Aversa.
Lastly, for the working composer that needs even more instant gratification and flexibility, we've included all FX and percussion samples in WAV format as a bonus download. Adding extra dramatic transitions such as risers, reverses, and sweeps is a simple matter of dragging WAVs into your DAW and lining them up with your track. This is an incredibly easy way of adding sonic 'ear candy' to your tracks; between this and all the other faetures, we think that Juggernaut will quickly become an essential tool in your arsenal.
Interface & Engine
We created a truly customizable instrument as opposed to simply a collection of presets. For example, drum kits are not locked away in the depths of the Kontakt editor. Instead, they are presented in a sleek mixer-style interface. You can quickly swap out individual parts of the kit, changing volume, panning, or tuning, as well as add whole-kit effects such as transient design, saturation, reverb, tempo-synced delay, EQ hype, and filtering. With a single click you can audition an entire category of sounds to find the perfect kick, snare, or sweep that inspires you. You can save and load your own kits just as easily.
Likewise with the Bass patch, there are over 50 bass sources at your fingertips ranging from dubstep growls and nasty overtones to smooth subs and ominous stabs. The rhythmic sequencer and FX section each come with their own set of 10+ presets, meaning for any given sound source you can create over 100 variations for any one sound without knowing anything about synthesis! Of course, if you delve in further, modifying the filter/LFO, assigning midi CCs, and creating your own custom patterns, the possibilities are quite literally endless. |
