WRECKAGE Loud Sounds in a Large Space 

Wreckage is a sample library for Kontakt that captures the sound of loud noises in large spaces. MODWHEEL’s latest performance was something to remember. They set up a valve amp in the middle of the room, cranked it up and plugged in a Fender Precision Bass, mod wheels Korg Polysix synth, and bowed double bass, and played some significant single events with a very long sustain.

The sound was truly incredible. While MODWHEEL was at it, they also hit some prominent percussion, timpani, snare, and bass drums. It was a fantastic performance, and everyone in the audience was blown away. We can’t wait to see what MODWHEEL does next!

Modwheel new Kontakt Library

Modwheel constantly explores new ways to create exciting and unique sounds, and the Stella Maris Chapel proved to be a goldmine of possibilities.

The resonant acoustics of the space allowed us to experiment with different textures and timbres, and Modwheel quickly filled up their hard drives with hours of recordings. sifting through the material, Modwheel selected the most compelling sounds and began working them into musical sketches for their next Kontakt Library. The result is a Kontakt Library that is truly a product of Stella Maris Chapel’s environment.

WRECKAGE Library

The WRECKAGE core library is unrivaled in terms of quality and brutality. It comes with four different patches, each with its own unique sonic character. The three different mic positions allow you to get the perfect sound for your productions.

The scatterbox feature syncs your IRs with the mod wheel, so you can easily create sounds. The tuning knob allows you to pitch the single events wherever needed, making it easy to create the perfect soundscape for your tracks.

Free for A Limited Time

It was a lot of fun to make, and for a limited time, MODWHEEL has decided to make WRECKAGE free to download.

A Psaltered Zither

A Psaltered Zither by MODWHEEL

A virtual instrument sample library of world zithers, psaltery, and unfretted folk instruments.

MODWHEEL is proud to announce the release of A Psaltered Zither, our latest virtual instrument for Kontakt.

The sample library is built around the zithers, psaltery and other odd, stringed instruments that we’ve built or collected over the years.

Six different zithers, psaltery, and unfretted folk instruments, lovingly plucked, bowed, scraped, struck, rattled and angrily distressed. Each instrument patch comes with up to six separate articulations that can be mixed and matched. Each articulation has access to pan, envelope and transpose (up or down one octave) control. This allows for layering and combining different sounds giving huge tonal possibilities. When not in use, articulations can be switched off to conserve CPU usage.

Scatter Box

A Psaltered Zither uses MODWHEEL’s newest development Scatter Box.
Scatter Box contains four sections of handcrafted IRs, (Sync’d, non-sync, reversed and atmospheric). The IRs have been specially created to complement the A Psalted Zither. The sync’d section allows for very characterful delay type effects, that will sync to the tempo of your DAW. The atmos section features longer events and some tonal elements that work well with pads and longer atmospheric articulations. The non-sync and reversed sections give even more access to sound manipulating possibilities.

A Psaltered Zither also comes with 127 snapshots of presets, pads, atmospheric, and arpeggiated rhythms.
Each patch has access to a full range of effects, via the FX tab – distortion, rotary, tremolo, phaser, chorus, delay and low pass filter. There are also tabs that take you through to the arpeggiator controls and info section where the functionality of each patch is explained.

A Psaltered Zither is available at the special intro price of US$ 65 (regular US$ 89)

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE – as part of the intro deal you will receive a free virtual instrument, MODWHEEL’s take on the Kalimba. This intro deal is available until 31 March 2019

Note: A Psaltered Zither and Kalimba require a full version of Kontakt 5.6.6 or higher.
