This is part 3 in a growing now-trilogy of swarmatron-inspired free Kontakt instruments! I've made a bunch of versions of this bendy swarmy instrument over the years in Kontakt and Omnisphere with various sound sources like strings, horns, and synths for my work on shows like Scandal and the Netflix film, The Block Island Sound (Out now! Link below!).
This one uses 6 different acoustic stringed instruments, with 40+ different strings playing at any given moment, all of which can bend in and out of tune with one another up to an octave in either direction with a CC control.
instruments used:
-Gibson J-45 Acoustic Guitar
-Fender High Strung Acoustic Guitar
-5-string Banjo
-Mandolin
-a pretty broken Marxophone
-DIY Cardboard Dulcimer (link below)
I hope you like it and please share your experiments with me! More to come!
(Requires the FULL version of Kontakt 5.6.8 or later)
