Rigid Audio has announced that its Kontakt instrument designed to help you create all sorts of inspirational backing grooves, cinematic underscores and creative electronic musical phrases is now free.
The Interference drum- and loop sequencer is based on 4 timestretching loop-engines and 4 drum and percussion parts, which can be programmed, played and mixed all individually.
It comes with two times 400 categorized loops and 1130 drum, percussion and noise sounds. Each engine has a comprehensive set of editing tools, including control over basic things like pitch, pan and volume as well as more creative elements like filters, delay-based effects and three send-effects including a unique so-called “disturb”-effect.
Each engine in Interference can be altered and modulated via separate modulation tables with to access to 43 modulation targets useable at the same time. Also, an Arpeggiator with four different harmonizing modes and free step lenghts for each note can be used to vary loops in interesting ways. It is also possible to modulate nearly every parameter externally using the modulation wheel – a dedicated mapping sub page allows for detailed finetuning of the start and end ranges for each modulation assignment separately.
Furthermore, Interference features three dedicated pages for editing: A main page where the user has a quick overview of what is going on, a more detailed edit page for access to all parameters and an options page for per-preset preferences.
Interference comes with NKS integration for users of Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol and/or Maschine. It requires the full (retail) version of Kontakt 7.2.0 or higher.
