Cinematic Tension has released Claved and Bottleneck, two sample libraries for Native Instruments Kontakt.

Cinematic Tension Claved

CLAVED – A cinematic tension library with 10 kontakt instruments features a pitch shifted, tuned, and mangled Clave… it’s far more epic than you’re thinking, trust me.

Claved features

  • Clave rythym instrument sampled, pitched WAY down, twisted, and made epic.
  • 3 to 5 Velocity Layers for most samples (be sure to try different velocities!)
  • Controllable reverb. A reverb On / Off button is right on the GUI (starts in the ON position).
  • 10 Kontakt isntruments.
  • Sample base is unlocked.
  • Varying degrees of added reverb pre-added for added epicness (room, stage, hall, and cave).
  • Built in kontakt arpeggiator and delay sequencer, both tempo sync to your host sequencer.
  • Mod wheel controls the attack to get even more dynamic control.

Cinematic Tension Bottleneck

BOTTLENECK – A cinematic tension library with 7 kontakt instruments features pitch shifted, tuned, and mangled wine bottles. Has a great ethnic timbre and is wonderful for building tensions.

Bottleneck features

  • 4 to 6 Velocity Layers for most samples (be sure to try different velocities!)
  • Controllable reverb. A reverb On / Off button is right on the GUI (starts in the ON position).
  • Low hits which have been pitched and designed.
  • High hits which have been slightly tuned.
  • Sample base is unlocked.
  • Built in kontakt arpeggiator and delay sequencer, both tempo sync to your host sequencer.
  • Mod wheel controls the attack to get even more dynamic control.

Claved is available to purchase for $20 USD; Bottleneck is $15 USD.
