Chromatic Instruments has introduced a new sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt.
A faithful emulation of a classic mini-keyboard from 1983, the Pistachiotone MR-65 brings the sounds of the Casiotone MT-65.
Pistachiotone MR-65 features
- All 20 original tone presets each with 4 modulation variations.
- All original accompaniment presets (4 bass and 4 chord).
- Additional bright versions of each bass, chord and tone preset. These were sampled separately without the filter circuit engaged.
- Faithful recreation of the Fingered and Pistachio Chord auto-chord playing modes. The Fingered mode automatically picks a suitable bass note to any played chord. The Pistachio Chord mode plays Major, Minor, Dominant 7th or Minor 7th chords based on the amount of keys pressed at one time.
- All 7 original rhythm one shots with seperate character, tuning and volume controls for each sample. 3 different rhythm sampler modes are available in the settings menu.
- Filter and pitch modulation sections including bi-polar envelopes, multi-shaped LFOs and formant controls.
- Bit crusher, saturator, stereo chorus, tape delay and digital reverb. There are two types of each effect.
- Randomise button for generating unique sounds.
- Over 100 presets including pads, leads, effects, retro synth sounds, chiptune effects, vintage factory presets and waveforms.
- Settings menu for fine control of various parameters including individual master volume controls, filter tracking, 9 additional filter types, 3 additional formant types, velocity sensitivity, polyphonic & monophonic playing modes, transposition, fine tuning, routing controls and randomisation settings.
The library is free to download for Kontakt 6.8.0 or higher.
