Zero-G NOSTALGIA - звуковой модуль на базе сэмплера Kompakt, включающий более 1,3 Гб звуков классических электронных музыкальных инструментов. Коллекция сэмплов создана известным саунд-дизайнером и программистом Steve Howell на основе 30-летнего опыта работы с электронными инструментами и собственной коллекции синтезаторов, модулей и драм-машин
Пожалуй, на сегодня мы имеем не более десятка крупных компаний, специализирующихся на выпусках банков звуков. Среди основных из них на сегодня стоит выделить американцев - Spectrasonics и Sonic Reality, и англичан из Zero-G . Последние широко известны не только популярными собраниями звуков, но и программными продуктами, получающимися в результате сотрудничества этой компании с другими. Чего стоит только недавно нашумевший Yamaha VOCALOID.
И вот в конце июня'2005 под маркой Zero-G выходит звуковая сэмплерная станция NOSTALGIA. В качестве программной оболочки используется специальная версия Native Instruments KOMPAKT (дочерняя программа от мощного сэмплера KONTAKT).
PROGRAMMING NOTES:
Sound Quality All the sounds were recorded and processed at 16 Bit resolution and 44.1KHz sample rate.
Organisation The Instruments list (which can be viewed by clicking on "Instruments List PDF" at above left) groups the sounds into categories. The categories are as follows:
01 US Classics 02 Euro Classics 03 Japanese Classics 04 Playback Keyboards 05 Organs 06 Electro-Mechanicals 07 Digital ROMpler synths 08 Vintage Samplers 09 Cheap n Cheezy 10 Obscure Synths 11 Drum Synths 12 Classic Beatboxes 13 Obscure Beatboxes 14 Sci-Fi 15 Atmosferics 16 String Synths 17 Basses
Memory Size
All programming has been carried out to minimise the size of the patches thus reducing CPU and Memory Usage. However, the software interface will allow you to activate a Direct from Disk (DFD) functionality if you prefer, thereby enabling the streaming of the samples direct from your hard disk drive.
Modulation Wheel Assignments
Every single instrument has the Modulation Wheel assigned to a function. This gives a lot of dynamic control over the character of the sound. Please try out the modulation wheel when playing each patch. The Mod Wheel may be assigned to one of several different controllers including Tune LFO, Filter Cutoff, Pan and Volume depending on the patch in question.
Polyphony
All instruments are programmed at the default polyphony of 32 notes except for a selection of patches from synths that were originally monophonic and some bass sounds which have thus been programmed as monophonic. If you wish to increase the polyphony please do so.
Multis
Up to 8 instruments can be combined in a Multi giving a vast array of possible combinations of the supplied single instruments. For example try combining a couple of bass instruments for some really fat and thunderous sounds. Or how about combining a Sawtooth and Square wave pad and then using the modwheel to crossfade between them. This latter effect is easy to set up by over-riding the pre-programmed Mod Wheel assignments. Simply set the Mod Wheel to control one instrument with positive volume control and the other with negative volume control.
CPU Load
The exact CPU load of any given instrument depends on a myriad of factors - the power of your computer, notes played, complexity of the instrument etc. However if you find the CPU load is too high for any particular instrument the quickest way of reducing this is to see if the instrument uses any of Kompakt's own built in FX. If so these can be turned off to maximise CPU efficiency.
