Massive, heavy, punchy, gritty, and epic collection of 15 10-second drones, recorded chromatically over 4 octaves with a
no-compromise, high-end signal path. Each drone features 3 variations, levels of aggressive overtones, and amounts of sound destruction (SOFT, NORMAL, and DISTORTED) achieved by overdriving the whole chain starting with the source, preamp, and analog tape.
At the lowest level of destruction, SOFT (keyswitch C0) variation, the original sound of the source can be found with a hint of light analog tape compression occurring naturally. This is the level where the drones sound the most fully and massive with a big, round low end and slightly reduced highs.
NORMAL (keyswitch C#0) variation features more prominent sound qualities of distortion, analog tape compression, and saturation and it's the level where the original sound of the drones features the most balance between the low and high end. Ending up with the DISTORTED (keyswitch D0) variation where we turned everything to the 'red' so that drones get fully destructed with distortion, heavy analog tape compression, and saturation to the point that the sound is almost non-existent at times.
For every variation we recorded a fully new set of samples instead of using the existing ones and just adding the distortion (which is the main reason why the download size is larger).

When it comes to the drones themselves, all 15 ones are different with some of them being more atonal than sounding within the chromatic rules including some of them being a full noise with an aggressive set of overtones giving away the pitch. This was our main goal, to make each patch an experience for itself where composer/producer could easily get lost in the world of experimental sounds and ambiances. To get the best experience with the patches, we advise using the MODULATION CC#1 for the volume control.
As always, we recorded and exported everything at 96kHz/24bit and the download features KONTAKT Instrument folder divided into several .zip files. Please note that the patches are only playable in the Full Kontakt version and that the Kontakt Player version will only show patches in the DEMO mode.
