Distortion & Feedback is the first in the series of Analogue Waveforms sound libraries by Ian Boddy. It is intended that each volume in this series focusses in on one aspect of analogue sound design possible on modular and vintage synthesisers.
This library contains 300 samples (150 longer looped sounds & 150 one shots) meticulously programmed and recorded from analogue modular and vintage synthesisers.
These samples are not for the faint hearted. Every single sound uses some form of either audio or control voltage distortion, feedback or general sonic ill treatment.
A new custom designed graphical interface has been scripted in Kontakt to provide even more variation and programming opportunities in the way the sounds are presented. This is rounded out by a set of impulse responses for the convolution reverb taken directly from analogue modules such as spring reverbs and bucket-brigade delays to further enhance the overall sound character.
The sounds and patches run the full gamut from earth shattering drones, twisted pads, piercing modulations and weird transmissions to eerily haunting feedback oscillations.
The one-shot section contains a range of crunchy, nasty, throbbing short percussive sounds and FX that can be used to spice up any drum kit or add impact to key moments in your musical compositions.

FREE DEMO SAMPLE PACK
If you'd like to try out some samples from this title, download the DEMO RAW SOUNDS PACK (27 MB) which contains 10 demo samples. NOTE: The samples in the promo pack are for demo purposes only and cannot be used for commercial purposes. If you need to include the demo samples in your commercially released music you must purchase the full version(s) of the product(s).
Kontakt 4 interface:
The sounds have been mapped out into over 500 Kontakt 4 format patches using the new custom designed GUI. They are grouped into two basic categories:
RAW - These are the basic raw audio samples (looped where appropriate) presented with all the FX & filter sections turned off in the GUI. For added convenience each folder has an “All” patch for audition purposes. Thus it is easy to play each of the samples as they were recorded or to experiment with the GUI from a default state for creating your own patches.
TREATED - The same folder structure is used as for the raw sounds but here full use is made of the GUI to further treat & enhance the samples. Furthermore useful collections of similar sounds are grouped into various multi-sets or velocity cross-fade patches.
