These all have an incredible organic quality.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe centrepiece of ITP is the Impromptu Engine; a system that combines loops of improvised, un-synced snippets with a granular synthesizer to create unique and unusual sounds and atmospheres. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe recorded 3x round robins in three different intensity layers that you can crossfade between using the central control. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlaying a note with the mod-wheel completely down will trigger a sparse improvised loop on that pitch; start moving the mod-wheel up to gradually crossfade to the medium and finally, to the dense layer. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs well as the Impromptu patches for Glockenspiel, Vibraphone and Crotales we have also created bonus Impromptu patches for cymbals (Chinese, 17” and 18”) and snare drum (played both with brushes and sticks): they are more experimental in nature and perhaps not as immediate to use but can lead to rather interesting sounds. Crotales, cymbals, glockenspiel, vibraphone and waterphone are also available as bowed instruments. These patches are great for creating beautiful, ethereal atmospheres. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have also included 82 Snapshots which will help speed up your workflow and also give you a starting point to create your own incredible textures.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMPORTANT: You will need the FULL version of Kontakt 6.4.1 in order to use ITP.

The two-note chords are samples containing only the root note and the minor or major third, one octave apart, which is an especially useful voicing for ambient music. Major chords are mapped on the purple keys, minor chords are mapped on the green keys. Hitting the key softly will produce a rolled chord.","brand":"Xfonic Report A","offers":[{"title":"Download","offer_id":39488023625808,"sku":"IEG-110","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1890\/5447\/products\/IEG-Cover.jpg?v=1630498479"}],"url":"https:\/\/zero-g.co.uk\/collections\/impromptu-titles-50-off\/ethereal.oembed","provider":"Zero-G Digital Audio Samples and Soundware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
