PHAEDRA Redux KONTAKT

By | May 5, 2022

PHAEDRA Redux KONTAKT

PHAEDRA Redux KONTAKT

PHAEDRA Redux has been produced by Sam Spacey who also produced the highly-acclaimed Epica and Epica Bass virtual synths.

PHAEDRA Redux replaces the previous version which ran in the free Kontakt Player and required an activation serial. PHAEDRA Redux requires the full version of Kontakt 6.6.0 and will not run in the free Kontakt Player. All of the sounds from the original PHAEDRA are available in the new version. The main difference is the updated Kontakt GUI.

PHAEDRA Redux comes with a stunning new interface that gives the user amazing sound-shaping capability.

Featuring over 4GB of sounds, 20,000 samples and 720 patches – PHAEDRA is the ultimate virtual analogue synth.

Unhappy with the lack of raw sonic power in virtual emulations of VSTi analogue synths producer Sam Spacey set out on a three-year journey to make the ultimate synth and ended up creating a monster in PHAEDRA.

Constructed with the same attention to detail as a huge orchestral sample library each of the 20,000 samples has been edited and looped by hand, with loops being very long so as to extract that lovely analogue randomness magic. Nearly every single preset has each separate note sampled to eliminate aliasing within the instrument’s range.

With Kontakt’s engine being pushed totally to the limits we have produced a library that is a full synthesizer in its own right. This library is based on no particular electronic genre and would lend itself well to any style.

IMPORTANT: This product requires the FULL version of Kontakt 6.6.0! It will not work in the FREE Kontakt Player except in demo mode.

Mike Stern Altered Scale Soloing for Jazz Guitar Soloing PDF MP3

Master Powerful Altered Scale Guitar Soloing With Mike Stern
There has never been a jazz guitar book like this before…

Mike Stern is an electrifying guitarist whose blistering chops combine sophisticated jazz harmony with rock-fusion firepower and perfect bluesy phrasing. In this ground-breaking book, he shares his secrets of altered scale soloing and reveals the keys to his signature sound.

In his new book, Altered Scale Soloing for Jazz Guitar, exclusive to Fundamental Changes, Mike teaches you in depth how to use every important altered scale on guitar to create incredible solos with his instantly recognizable sound.

You’ll master modern outside-sounding jazz guitar chops using:

  • The Altered Scale (Super Locrian Mode)
  • The Mixolydian b2b6 Scale (Phrygian Dominant)
  • The Symmetrical Diminished Scale (Half Whole)
  • The Whole Tone Scale

A Complete, Practical System to Create Modern Jazz Guitar Vocabulary
Along with over 140 jaw-dropping licks and music examples, Mike’s unique jazz guitar course teaches you to get inside the scales.

You’ll discover the following jazz guitar soloing concepts:

  • How each altered jazz guitar scale is formed
  • The most important scale shapes and positions to use and why
  • How to master the scale intervals and use them to create blistering jazz solos
  • Beautiful sequencing patterns that quickly become musical phrases you can use
  • Dozens of modern scalic licks, runs and sequences
  • With these essential skills under your fingers, you’ll immediately apply them musically as you learn play intervallic licks over the most essential chord changes in jazz to add new depth to your soloing

As your jazz guitar soloing skills develop, you’ll add to your vocabulary by learning lines based around more advanced, musical jazz structures.

You’ll learnt to get creative with:

  • Diatonic triads
  • 7th chord jazz arpeggio sequences
  • Triad/arpeggio-based melodies
  • Longer 8-bar jazz soloing structures

Master Altered Scale Jazz Guitar Lines With Four Epic Etudes
Each altered scale is taught in its own detailed chapter, and to round off each one you’ll be taught a full-length original solo, recorded at Mike’s New York studio. These solos combine all the musical approaches of each chapter into beautiful, melodic language you can use in your own playing.

This rigorous approach, combined with a vast arsenal of melodic ideas, gives you unparalleled insight into the mind of one of the most respected jazz musicians on the planet… and you’ll also learn plenty of Mike’s signature licks and tricks along the way!

One Solo to Rule them All!
To tie every altered jazz guitar scale sound together, Mike has written an epic 130-bar solo that explores every musical concept over a blistering Bb Blues. When you learn this solo, you’ll hear, internalize and feel how these advanced jazz guitar scales can be used to make powerful, attention-grabbing music.

Throughout the book, Mike goes into such depth about his thought processes and techniques that you’ll learn so much more than you will from a transcribed solo with no explanation.

Hear It!
In Altered Scale Soloing for Jazz Guitar Mike has been incredibly generous when it comes to sharing his licks and musical ideas. In fact, you’ll find over 140 individual notated examples (with tab) and over 40 minutes of free audio to download.

Altered Scale Soloing for Jazz Guitar is a deep dive into the musical mind of one the true jazz guitar geniuses of our generation. You owe it to yourself to check it out take your music to a whole new level of creativity.

Cthulhu The Chord and Arp MonsterVST MIDI-FX Plug-In.

Chords Module

One Note Becomes Many. Cthulhu is firstly a chord memorizer and player, allowing you to experiment with creating and reworking chord progressions with single-note presses. Included are over 150 factory chord presets allowing for a near-unlimited amount of possible musical-sounding chord progressions. Import MIDI or ‘record’ chords straight in, Cthulhu is able to analyze the chords you play and allow for various sorting options (Circle of 5ths, Chromatic, low note, etc) allowing for easy access over your chords!

Arp Module

Transform your chords in new ways. The other half of Cthulhu is a unique pattern-based arpeggiator, allowing incoming notes or chords to be manipulated in various rhythmic ways. The 8 tabs of the stepsequencer allow you to completely reshape the incoming MIDI notes, even a single note fed into the arp can become a unique and rhythmic riff! Even if you have other arpeggio software plug-ins, Cthulhu’s arp is unique and powerful with advanced features such as chord-arpeggio mode, ties, duration / velocity sequencing, intelligent transpose, harmony, and more! Every tab of the sequencer can operate on its own length, allowing for evolving polymetric arpeggios. From simple to complex, from chaotic to creating precise arpeggio you imagine in your head!

Minimum System Requirements:

  • Windows: Windows 7 SP1 or later
  • macOS 10.11 or later

  • AAX requires Pro Tools 11 or later.
