Waveforms is a series of downloadable sample libraries from Some-
thing Else Music Limited. This company is run by the well respected
UK sound designer Ian Boddy who has been producing sample libraries
since 1992. His work includes Ambient Volumes 1 & 2, Malice in
Wonderland, Morphology, Analogue Sequencer Loops & Outer Limits for
Zero-G and Transmission-X for Sample Magic. He has also provided
patch & sample content for LinPlug, Camel Audio & Rob Papen
Soundware.
Radiophonica is the first title in Ian Boddys Waveforms series of
sample libraries. All the sounds were produced and recorded directly
from analogue hardware synthesisers. No digital processing other
than a touch of EQ or compression where appropriate was used. Any
effects you hear such as flanging, phasing, reverb or echo are from
the various analogue components of the modular systems used. The
intention was to provide a library of sounds that are synonymous
with the name of the Radiophonic Workshop from their early work on
such seminal programs as Doctor Who. As such the sounds are intended
to have that analogue, organic, retro sci-fi character that many
find so appealing about those early synthesiser soundtracks.
The Kontakt 2 programs are a simple C0 - C6 keyspan with C3 as the
root key and a basic envelope and low-pass filter provided. The
modulation wheel is set to turn the cut-off of the filter down as it
is raised. No other programming is included as the sounds themselves
are "finished" and it is intended to give the customer the flexibi-
lity of adding their own effects and modulations if desired. Simply
unzip the downloaded file and place where you wish on your hard
drive(s). If you intend to use the Kontakt 2 programs then please
leave the internal folder structure intact so that the instruments
can find the relevant samples. The WAV files and Kontakt patches are
prefixed with the RP identifier.
