OVERVIEW
The core concept is based on a strong, epic and modern hybrid percussive sound that will just sit in the mix
and do its business. The library ranges from absolute, merciless epic grooves to more subtle grooves for the
underscoring.
The collection contains over hundreds of host-tempo synced groove segments. Core grooves were created
individually at 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 and 140 BPM. All the core grooves have sync functionality, so they
will match the BPM of your sequencer.
Our CHAOS engine has also been added to multiply the textures and possibilities this library has to offer.
We hope you enjoy using this library as much as we enjoyed making for you.
PATCHES
The patches in The New Hybrid Rhythms are divided
in BPM speeds. 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 and
140-BPM patches are available.
Each of the A and B engines can be independently configured by pressing the A or B buttons.
PANORAMA - Alters the Pan and the Stereo Width Pan of the outputted sound.
AMP ENV - Alters the Attack and the Decay of the played articulation.
PITCH ENV - Alters the Range and the Speed of the pitch envelope.
FILTER ENV - Alters the Attack and the Decay of the selected filter envelope.
TONE - Alters the tone and the frequency for the outputted signal.
DRIVE - Adds distortion to the sound.
* When available
SOUND EFFECTS
AB MIX - Allows the quick adjustment of the blend between the A and B engines.
FILTER - Allows quick access to the selected master filters found in the neighbouring dropdown menu.
GATE - Offers trance gate functions for both Mix, Pattern and Rate (via the dropdown menu).
PITCH - Allows for both coarse and fine global tuning of the selected patch preset.
DELAY - Allows quick access to the delay found on the CHAOS effects page.
COMP - Allows quick access to a gain matched compressor on the master bus.
FORM - Allows quick access to the Transform convolution reverb found on the CHAOS effects page.
EQ - Offers quick front page access to the multi band equaliser found on the effects page.
Clicking the Options Cog located towards to top right of the instruments screen will bring you to the
Options page. From here you can control the following basic functions.
KEY - Select the lowest key at which you would like the articulation keyswitches to begin.
CC - Select the CC (Continuous Controller) you would like to alter the currenlty selected articulation.
The Effects Engine is perhaps our
most elaborate feature.
We wanted to take the concept of
chance and extreme tweakability and
port it to our user-interface.
EFFECTS
The Effects page consists of multiple rack effects.
To reset any effect to its default position, simply
select the appropriate “Default“ option from the
preset drop down menu.
PHASER controls the dual Phaser and Flanger module. Allowing you to modulate and move and sound source passed through it.
MIX controls the volume of the processed audio (Dry/Wet) whereas DEPTH allows you to control the amount or strength of the
applied modulation. SPEED controls the frequency of the modulation. COLOR controls the tone of the applied modulation, and FEED
allows you to adjust the feedback within the Flanger portion of the module.
We also have included a CHAOS control, this allows you to randomise every value, which is extremely useful for creating out new
and interesting sounds.
EQ controls a 3 band Equaliser, we have included a handful of useful presets to help you in sculpting your sound. We also have
included a CHAOS control, this allows you to randomise every value, which is extremely useful for carving out new and interesting
sounds.
The Settings page consists of a few vital controls to help control the CHAOS switch. Such as MOTION, which constantly randomises
and animates every relevant parameter. RANGE which alters the amount of randomisation under both MOTION and CHAOS. And the
CHAOS / FLOW switch which changes the type of randomisation available. CHAOS is purely random based on a value below your
current settings and the RANGE, whereas FLOW analyses and adjusts your current settings depending on your RANGE allowing you
to have a more subtle evolution of randomisation.
DEGRADER consists of a BIT CRUSHER and a DISTORTION unit. Of course we also have included a CHAOS control, which allows you
to randomise every value, which is extremely useful for carving out new and interesting sounds.
The Settings page consists of a few vital controls to help control the CHAOS switch. Such as MOTION, which constantly randomises
and animates every relevant parameter. RANGE which alters the amount of randomisation under both MOTION and CHAOS. And the
CHAOS / FLOW switch which changes the type of randomisation available. CHAOS is purely random based on a value below your
current settings and the RANGE, whereas FLOW analyses and adjusts your current settings depending on your RANGE allowing you
to have a more subtle evolution of randomisation.
DELAY consists of 2 sequential delays, this allows you to build complex rhythms and sequences by simply using different time
values. Each delay has a wet MIX parameter, a tempo synced TIME control, and FEEDBACK and PAN controls to help control the style
and power of the delay. We also went a step further, and added a a LOW and HIGH PASS filter to the end of the chain, this allows
you to filter out certain frequencies only in the feedback of the delay ensuring it doesn’t conflict with your main sound.
And, you guessed it, we included a CHAOS control, so you are able to randomise every relevant parameter, creating some truly
amazing delay patterns. Both delays and the filters also work intelligently, meaning if you are not using them or they are set to a
minimal value, they will bypass themselves in order to save your CPU load.
TRANSFORM contains a powerful impulse convolution with some truly strange and wonderful presets. To change what convolution
is loaded, simply select the preset dropdown menu, and load any of our hand designed impulse responses. From fog horns, to car
crashes, engine revs to world ending drones, we have included a handful of our favourite custom recorded and designed presets. If
you are feeling indecisive, you can also select the CHAOS control, which will randomly assign a preset for you, as well as alter the
available controls for some truly esoteric results. The included controls can help you further shape the convolution, such as MIX
which alters the wet value of the insert, SIZE which stretches or compresses the impulse, PRE-DELAY which adds a small delay
before the impulse is triggered, and of course a HIGH and LOW PASS FILTER, which allows you to shape the frequency of the
impulse convolution layer.
REVERB contains a powerful convolution reverb partnered with a digital reverb. To change what convolution is loaded, simply select
the preset dropdown menu, and load any of our custom recorded impulse responses. We have included a variety, of real acoustic
spaces we use and love, such as recording studios, churches, cathedrals and halls. As well as a few not so acoustic spaces we equally
love. We have also crafted a quick and useful room positioner tool, by clicking anywhere in the “ROOM” area you can access a
variety of crafted presets which load custom settings on top of your chosen convolution reverb.
This is a great tool for quickly placing your sound in designed space. Or of course you can select the CHAOS control and let the
engine do the choosing for you.
The included controls are similar as to the TRANSFORM module except REVERB has a digital counterpart. This can be bypassed by
using the DIGITAL ON/OFF switch.
