Riot Audio has announced the release of a new musical sound design tool for Native Instruments Kontakt 6, built around a novel “transient splicing engine” which was introduced with the free Lite Edition of this new library.
The Bionic Plucks and Mallets instrument library is is designed with a wide range of contemporary music production applications in mind, including Electronica, Hip Hop and R&B, as well as cinematic styles.
The included presets cover smooth and dirty basses, gritty, reimagined Electric and Rhodes Pianos, celesta or glockenspiel-like bells and analog-style synth plucks, as well as a number of experimental, customized sounds.
A unique new concept: BIONIC is a “transient splicing engine”, i.e. it is designed to give detailed control over a range of parameters needed to mix and match a number of different initial transients to another set of tails/longer sounds.
Loaded with 80 sound sources (20 short, 40 medium length and 20 long) and 50 ready-made presets, this is our biggest and most ambitious project to date. With the ability to create a wide range of different novel sounds with just a few clicks, this is a must have instrument for serious producers and composers.
