Fallout Music Group Unstrung Live String Horror & Tension FX [KONTAKT]

We are proud to present the next release in our Artist Series instruments – Unstrung – featuring the sound design of our own Randon Purcell. The artist series instruments will each highlight one of our composer/sound designers, where they will create most or all of the samples on their own.

Created almost entirely from raw, live, solo string recordings, Unstrung offers something truly unique for your horror and tension cues. Knocks, plucks, screeches, grindings, dives and ricochets from Cello, Viola, Violin and Banjo (yup, banjo), create hits, risers and patterns that are not only unique, but simple to manipulate and put into your own tracks.

Includes 3 different Kontakt instruments:

PATTERNS

Provides you with a 16 step sequencer where each step can be loaded with a diﬀerent sample from one of 5 categories (and over 250 distinct samples) of sounds: Knocks, Plucks, Ricochets, Grinds, and Dives. Each step can have volume, panning, length and tuning adjustments, making for inﬁnite possibilities, and direct syncing to various time signatures in your DAW.
