Finger picked Acoustic Guitar, Flageolets and psychedelic FX Guitar. All samples have been recorded 4-times and sampled round robin. The Modest Guitar sounds warm and organic. You can also hear some decent guitar player noises on the flageolets which can create an additional pleasant atmosphere.

Since the Modest Guitar was actually made for the advanced round robin tutorial in first place the sampling was not the priority. But we found that it can still sound very beautiful in some situations and decided to also release it as free Kontakt instrument.

Key Switches & FX Control
Use B-1 key to turn off all instruments at once. With C0 (Acoustic Guitar), D0 (Flageolets) and E0 (Psychedelic FX Guitar) you can toggle the single instruments.

MaK – Mouse & Keyboard – Lite

MaK – Mouse & Keyboard – Lite virtual instrument is a free keyboard sound bank for Kontakt, by Collected Transients.

MaK is a Kontakt instrument which replicates the sounds of a person using various computer keyboards, mice, or touchscreen devices. This allows you to very quickly perform the foley of using one of these devices via MIDI.

Lite Version Info:

Only 2 of 15 Devices enabled: Laptop Keyboard and Laptop Mouse

No other limitations

The description below details the full version of MaK:

MaK was created to speed up the time consuming process of editing and/or recording mice and keyboards. After realizing how often this came up in both my commercial and film work, I decided there had to be a better way.

Several recording sessions and Kontakt script headaches later, MaK was born.

There are 15 devices available in MaK: 5 Keyboards, 5 Mice, 2 Touchscreens, and 3 digital keyboards. Each of these devices has been meticulously recorded at a number of different velocities for a very realistic playback performance.

The majority of the devices have 5 velocity layers; from soft to hard. Each of these velocity layers have 32 different samples: 16 for the press sound, and 16 for the release sounds of each device. That’s 160 samples per device. MaK will randomly trigger press and release samples for each layer based on the velocity you play the notes. Easy to use controls allow you to adjust additional layers of randomness in both velocity and pitch. All of this adds up to realistic devices, and convincing performance.

Kosmonaut

Kosmonaut virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Kontakt, by Homegrown Sounds.

Kosmonaut is a Free Kontakt 4/5 library from the world of Kosmos created with instruments taken from Kosmos Classics and Kosmos Infekted. Features:

60 Single Presets for Kontakt 5 (also for Kontakt 4).

Each Single Preset uses the Kosmos Synth front end, as well as featuring an amazing 8 x 7 sequencer with assignable destinations and a sophisticated Scale Remapper (Kontakt 5 only).

Kosmonaut Full Kosmos Instrument – Uses all 60 instruments to create a classic dual oscillator synth with lots of modulation possiblities, 2 filters etc..

The instruments are taken from Kosmos Classics and Kosmos Infekted.

The Kosmos Sequencer is possibly one of the most complex Sequencers for Kontakt out there. It features 8 separate Instances which can be switched in realtime via MIDI notes. Each Instance contains a sequencer for Pitch, one for Velocity and 5 freely assignable sequencers which can be assigned to a large array of Destinations. Each Sequencer has its own step amount so that for example, pitch could be 8 steps, and another sequencer assigned to Cutoff could be 12. All 8 instances are unique and so can all have different destinations, Tempos and step lengths.

As well as triggering the Instances via MIDI, there is also a series of Tempo and Pitch Triggers. The tempo based triggers can pause the pitch steps, or pause the destinations, double step, half step, make the note length long or short or mute playback. This is a great jamming feature for adding interest and a modern sound to the sequences. The pitch triggers change the entire pitch output by +1 Octave, -1 Octave, or semitone increments.

There is a set of 12 Scale Remappers, one for each note in the Octave. Each one selects from a range of over 80 Scales and will force the playing sequence to play the selected Scale. For example you could set C to play Major, so that any sequences triggered by the C key would be forced to the major Scale. You could then make D minor Seventh. This helps get away from the standard transposed sequence sound and with some effort can make for an excellent set of building blocks to create a track. (The Kontakt 4 Presets do not have the Scale Remappers)

As all who have used Homegrown products in the past will know, there are always extensive randomization options, and the Kosmos Sequencer is no exception. It also takes advantage of Kontakt 5’s ability to load and save presets, so that the entire sequencer can be loaded into a different preset, this can also be handy for creating template presets of your own with your preferred configuration.
