Soniccouture Blanks [KONTAKT]

A Kontakt instrument with no samples. Another Soniccouture innovation.

Drag and drop your own samples onto the pads, then shape, warp & drill using the unique custom drum processors. Create totally new grooves and patterns in seconds with the 3 Beat Tools: Euclidean Beats, Beat Shifter and Poly Beats.

THE SAMPLER PANEL

Drag and drop your samples to one of the 8 pads. Choose vintage sampler modes, set up complex drilling rhythms and create evolving modulations.

BEAT TOOLS: EUCLIDEAN BEATS

Euclidean Beats is a revolutionary way of generating drum patterns; simpler than it first looks. Set any number of hits and any number of steps per track, and Euclid will space it all out equally for you. Generate creative grooves you never imagined within seconds – you can’t put a step wrong.

BEAT TOOLS: BEAT SHIFTER

An 8 track step-sequencer with a difference – each track can be programmed to shift its notes as the beat plays, creating new beats as the patterns evolves. Sounds can be set to move a lot, stay completely still, or move incrementally while never losing their musical timing.

BEAT TOOLS: POLY BEATS

Poly Beats is a new kind of drum sequencer from Soniccouture. Each track divides the bar into arbitrary subdivisions, or polyrhythms. Since each track can be set completely different from each other, polyrhythms can quickly sound very strange and unnatural. Definitely for the left-field.

DRILL GENERATOR

Create fast glitching or rolling, granular effects with Blank’s custom Drill Generator. Each drum can have its own effect, which you can trigger via the Beat Tools or by MIDI controller.

Requires KONTAKT 6 or KONTAKT 6 PLAYER version 6.2 or later!
