Realistic runs are hard to produce with a conventional multisampled instrument, and fast runs are hard to play if you’re not an accomplished pianist.
We produced this instrument to make fast runs extremely easy to play. They adapt to your composition’s tempo and key, making completely realistic runs attainable for everybody.
Whether it be just a single run up to a transition, or an intense flurry of up and down runs that are the centerpiece of a composition, these runs will deliver. Play them with just a chord in the left hand and a beginning and end note in the right hand. They are great fun to play around with, and the intuitive ’emphasis’ slider dials in a mix between the recorded strings and woodwinds sections in one fluid motion.
Note the ‘Modal’ part of the name – these runs don’t just play from major scales root notes – they can start and end on any note of the scale, making all modalities within the diatonic scale available. Additionally, when in Relative Keyboard mode, any note you press on the right hand side will be conformed to the nearest scale tone, making it really easy to play runs that adapt to changing chords in real time!
With this new inventive and holistic approach to editing and scripting, we kept the sample count and RAM footprint extremely low for this instrument without compromising on the realism of the end result.
Returning to the superb recording space we employed for other orchestral libraries, we gathered a selection of some of the greatest (and most precise) players to perform for us. With a full woodwind and string section at our disposal, we captured the full range of the instruments. Modal Runs is designed from the ground up, borrowing design aspects from our other instruments such as Ostinato. This script is an exciting new development that we are very proud of and stretches the limits of what you can achieve with traditional sampling.
This library coexists alongside both our Orchestral Series and our Phrase-Based libraries, being recorded in the same hall, with identical mic positions and even utilising some of the same players. Our orchestral libraries blend seamlessly together.
We are very proud to introduce Modal Runs to you and can’t wait to hear the amazing things you, our valued customer base, will produce with it.
We have established a name as one of the best value & quality sample producers and with this product we’d like to underline that statement. We stick with our unbeatable pricing module and high quality sampling.
Though called “Broken Bells,” bells are not the only thing that was sampled. While we did sample some traditional bells, we also sampled tibetan singing bowls, kitchen mixing bowls, vases, wine glasses other random objects which gave a “ringing” sound which we thought was cool. We also bowed a variety of objects, including the objects mentioned above, but also a giant tin cylinder which once held the Christmas popcorn from last year. Broken Bells marks the direct opposite to our library Talua since it focuses on the dark and rusty nature of hit and bowed bell tones while Talua carries those crystal sounding glass instruments so if you’re in need for that rusty and dirty and also really imperfect bell sounds then Broken Bells is for you.
Sound
Broken Bells comes with a simple to use UI only carrying the most essential features like Filter, ADSR, Sound Shaping controls etc. You will see below that it definitely has some interesting features to shape the sounds.
Shape
The Shape Controls give you a bit deeper control about the sound of the selected instrument. Note that this works for each instrument individually in case you want to dynamically switch between instruments via Keyswitch and set it up inside one patch. You have control over settings like panorama position, advanced sample start point, volume envelope etc. Besides that is there also a filter part where you can for example apply an envelope to to further shape the raw instrument. We did also not include any further effects like delay, chorus etc. since most of the time our customers are using their own gear or plugins and therefore you only get the most essential tone shaping effects. – Body, which is basically a very short convolution reverb to voluminize the overall sound – Tape, which drives the incoming signal from the instruments through a tape saturator – LowPass Filter – Output Amplifier – Master Stereo Width – 3 Band Master Equalizer with limited gain ranges Of course you also have the option to change performance settings like Timing, Vibrato, Velocity or Expression.

Requires Kontakt 5.8.0 or higher – FULL version only – not for Kontakt Player
A collection of Kontakt Instrument from the mangled sounds of a 20 year old Radio-shack Vox Voice Recorder.
The sounds are in 3 categories: Ambient, FX, and Synth-like. These sounds include drones, soundscapes, riser and drop like sounds, and just plain mangled sounds. Most of the ambient sounds are looped seamlessly.
Most of the sounds are derived from the actual mechanical noise of the recording device, by physically toying with the buttons until malfunctioning, odd sounds were created. That being said, some of the sounds are the sound of mangled sounds on the tape itself, as the result of fast-forwarding or slowing down the tape dramatically (the shrouded, unrecognizable sounds being sounds included in Audio Reward’s Headphase).
There are some tuned tape ambiances where an empty part of the tape was sampled as it played and the static and hum was tuned to either major or minor.
A free folder is also included and named “Extra Instruments,” which consists of 6 samples and 5 NKI instruments, 51.8MB of samples uncompressed.
Contents:
82 Samples, 326MB uncompressed 28 NKI patches and 4 Multis
Requires full version of Kontakt 5.8.1 – not for Kontakt Player

The Oxford Handbook of Critical Concepts in Music Theory PDF
Music Theory has a lot of ground to cover. Especially in introductory classes a whole range of fundamental concepts are introduced at fast pace that can never be explored in depth or detail, as other new topics become more pressing. The short time we spend with them in the classroom belies the complexity (and, in many cases, the contradictions) underlying these concepts. This book takes the time to tarry over these complexities, probe the philosophical assumptions on which these concepts rest, and shine a light on all their iridescent facets.
This book presents music-theoretical concepts as a register of key terms progressing outwards from smallest detail to discussions of the music-theoretical project on the largest scale. The approaches individual authors take range from philosophical, historical, or analytical to systematic, cognitive, and critical-theorical-covering the whole diverse spectrum of contemporary music theory. In some cases authors explore concepts that have not yet been widely added to the theorist’s toolkit but deserve to be included; in other cases concepts are expanded beyond their core repertory of application. This collection does not shy away from controversy. Taken in their entirety, the essays underline that music theory is on the move, exploring new questions, new repertories, and new approaches.
This collection is an invitation to take stock of music theory in the early twenty-first century, to look back and to encourage discussion about its future directions. Its chapters open up a panoramic view of the contemporary music-theoretical landscape with its expanding repertories and changing guiding questions, and offers suggestions as to where music theory is headed in years to come.

Splice Originals Japanese Percussion with Kaoru Watanabe WAV
Kaoru Watanabe is a Brooklyn-based composer and musician, specializing in Japanese percussion and shinobue flutes. He has spent decades artfully blending the sounds of Japanese instruments with others from around the world. He’s collaborated with such artists as National Living Treasure Bando Tamasaburo, Jason Moran, So Percussion, Adam Rudolph, Kenny Endo, Stefon Harris, Kiyohiko Semba, Alicia Hall Moran, Tamango, calligrapher Kakinuma Koji, visual artist Simone Leigh, and director Martin Scorsese. He was a featured guest on Yo-Yo Ma’s Grammy Award-winning album Sing Me Home.
For this Originals session, Watanabe brought taiko drums and a wide selection of other Japanese percussion instruments to create a diverse range of sounds. We recorded his performances in both the traditional Japanese style and his newer style of playing taiko, which is more like a percussion cage. The resulting sounds are rhythms primed for any R&B, chill, hip hop, downtempo, jazz, trip hop, or any type of production you’re inspired to make.

We first captured sounds of classic soul and R&B with tinges of doo-wop, then took them to the next level with sound design and processing. As a result, these samples are production-ready for any modern R&B, future soul, hip hop, or trap song.
