This is vol. 1 of many more to come.

Kontakt already offers a wide variety of tools for modifying a source sound into a finished,
produced sound however in the shadow of a looming deadline more often then not we are forced
to use Kontakt pre-sets or other products to get what we need. Our intention with this product
was to provide you with a set of tools, specially made for you to be creative without relying
upon presets (even though we included a bunch of ideas just to get you started). Our first
volume uses some wonderfully recorded metal/industrial source material.

What you can accomplish:

In Metallurgy a finished .patch. is made of one to four layers run through up to 4 global FX.
Each layer contains one .source. sound modified through a series of .personalized. modifiers.

Lets look at these modifiers:

IMPORTANT NOTE: To edit a preset, just CMD click (or control click on PC) on the [!] button on
the interface. This will put it into edit mode and allow you to edit the patch.

Layer Modifiers/Parameters:

Gain - the volume of the layer
Pan - the position in the stereo field of the layer
Offset - the delay in milliseconds before the sound triggers
Tune - the root pitch of the layer from extremely deep to extremely high
Repeat - the amount in eighth notes you want a sound to repeat itself after the initial strike
R-fade - the amount in velocity each successive .repeat. will decrease in volume
Reverse - triggers the sound in reverse

Each layer then has three individualized FX settings which must be turned on/off via the power
with switch EQ, Reverb and Delay.

After you have your desired amount of layers you can access the (global) .FX. settings. Here
you can chose up to four effects (out of eight) which will effect all your layers

EQ - A 3 band mastering Equalizer
Reverb - A mastering reverb . a small touch always seems to help
Flanger - A tool which can add a modern sweeping effect to your sound
Chorus - A mechanical sounding micro doubling effect . perfect for sci-fi and modernism
Distortion - Bit distortion plug in, perfect for going lo-fi
Compression - A typical mastering compressor
Phaser - That familiar tape-flanging effect
Rotator - A tool which modifies the stereo field
