Sound Dust has released Flutter Dust Module, a “21st Century Mellotron” instrument for Native Instruments Kontakt.
Flutter Dust Module is a new Kontakt sample instrument that uses long and complex multisampled acoustic ‘wavetables’ that scan in real time to create beautiful organic, evolving and un-expected new sounds.
Like the Mellotron, Flutter Dust Module is based on recordings of acoustic instruments– but the extra functionality of the Kontakt engine takes the Flutter Dust Module to places of which the tape-based Mellotron could only ever dream.
Creating woozy, ghostly versions of real world timbres, users can just move the playhead position or loop points to construct new sounds – punch-drunk orchestral pads, delicate flute-otrons, majestic organ-celeste, complex poly rhythmic Phillip Glass scapes…and more, all at the click of a button (well, a few buttons).
