Tuned Artillery 2.0 is an extraordinary metallic percussion library. It features dry and hall - recorded spent brass field artillery shell casings from WWI and WWII, along with unique elements like an Eastern Bloc infantry combat helmet and decommissioned modern hand grenades. These items have a rich history in modern classical and avant - garde music. The high - quality brass casings produce resonant and harmonically rich sounds when struck with various tools. At night, we recorded multiple velocity layers and articulations of each piece of army equipment in a top - notch recording hall. Not stopping at 3 mic positions, we also recorded them dry in a booth for sound sculpting. For this 2.0 version, we remastered samples, added them to an efficient four - layer template, created new ambient pads and soundscapes, and designed 20 custom FX presets for your film, game, or music projects. The Kontakt interface offers extensive automation - ready sound - shaping controls, an adaptable LFO system, a customizable arpeggiator, and a key/scale lock system. The modular FX rack panel has 18 DSP effect modules and a great reverb effect with various impulse responses. This library is for Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later. It comes with many features like three master NKI banks, diverse samples in 4 mic positions, 64 ambience patches, and more. It's a must - have for sound designers and musicians.
Using Soundiron Tuned Artillery 2.0 is easy. First, make sure you have Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or a higher full - version installed on your Windows 7 or later, or MacOS 10.9 or later system with a dual - core CPU or better and at least 2GB of RAM. It's recommended to use SATA or SSD storage. To load the library, use the standard File browser tab and import it into the Kontakt Quickload window. Once loaded, you can use the controls on the Kontakt interface to shape the sound. You can adjust parameters like swell, attack, and release. Experiment with the different mic positions and articulation layers to get the sound you want. For creative effects, try the 20 custom FX presets. The LFO system, arpeggiator, and key/scale lock system can help you create unique melodies. When using the FX rack panel, you can assign different DSP effect modules in any order you like.
