AUDIO DEMOS
KONTAKT (FULL VERSION)
The new GUI features improved level meters for each microphone, along with a wider waveform display that makes loops easier to view and groove assembly simpler. It also includes parameter labels on each knob and a standardized effects display across all new UIs (V4).
GEAR
Recording using a pair of Neumann KM184, a Neumann U87 and a Bock Audio 251A. The preamp section used was a UA 2610, API 512A and Grace M501, routed in a Symphony Apogee.
Library
The keys were recorded both dry and with sustain engaged. Vibrato is controllable via CC1 (Mod Wheel), and velocity can be adjusted in the Velocity tab with complete curve control.
