许多人认为Sonokinetic的标志性声音是宏伟而优美的,因为我们在录音空间中聘用了许多才华横溢的演奏者,并在我们定制的Kontakt引擎中叠加了乐句。但是,有时候最好记下一些东西以获得更个人化的感觉,而这正是我们对Indie所做的。这些亲密合奏短语的风格以现代电视剧,精品电影和带有裸露和个人声音的独立视频游戏为主导。
这次只录制较小版本的弦乐,木管乐器和铜管乐团还不够,因此我们还为它们添加了许多旋律打击乐词组作为补充。这是有史以来第一次,弦乐四重奏乐句已被加入其中,非常适合与其他合奏一起分层,将焦点重新带到您的作品中。这里的整体重点是最轻柔的演奏,从精致的小提琴二重奏和独奏单簧管到竖琴glissandi和轻柔的槌槌。
实际上,旋律打击乐器值得特别提一下,因为我们确保抓住了这些乐器的所有微妙之处和奇妙之处,包括很少采样的音乐会cimbalom,这是一种类似扬琴的乐器,具有独特的声音。我们为独立制作的梦幻旋律质感是由我们的表演者在与其他乐团相同的空间中精心演奏的。马林巴琴,木琴,钟琴,颤音琴,鳄鱼,立式钢琴,钢片琴和音乐会竖琴为整个系列增添了强烈的个人感觉。
我们认为Indie录音非常适合播放引擎,该引擎最初是在爵士乐密集的部分库“ Noir”中首次亮相的。这意味着12个预设键每个都具有一个演奏。像这样映射短语,可以轻松地将旋律和和声结合在一起,并听取彼此实时交响的表演。
随机化功能还带来了可喜的回报,每按一次,就会产生十二个互补的短语。您还可以选择对每个管弦乐部分进行随机化处理,包括弦乐四重奏,弦乐合奏,木管乐器,铜管五重奏或旋律打击乐。
制作独立游戏是一种与众不同的体验,我们希望当您听到它时,也会有同样的感觉。
我们在Sonokinetic BV感到非常自豪,向您介绍Indie,并迫不及待地想听听您,我们尊敬的客户群将如何与之合作。
Sonokinetic已树立了最有价值和最优质的样品生产商之一的名称,并且我们希望使用此产品来强调该声明。我们坚持使用无与伦比的定价模块和高质量的样本。
介面
左侧是Indie的主要界面。这个特定的屏幕截图显示了12个可用预设字段中分配给F键的木管乐器乐句。每个字段都以相同的方式操作,并具有用于选择乐句,调制轮控制,速度,乐谱视图,和声移位,偏移,X淡入淡出,声像和音量的选项。
辅助功能
通过单击Sonokinetic徽标,还可以减少艺术性,但可以简化GUI布局。这样可以将文本更改为更标准的字体,增加颜色对比度并模糊图标,这对于那些具有辅助功能的人很有用。
预设栏位
独立有12个可用于触发短语的预设键,这些键与此处所示界面的12个字段相关。
我们对弦乐四重奏,弦乐,木管乐器,铜管乐器和旋律打击乐进行了采样,您可以通过演奏MIDI C3-B3的琴键来演奏乐句。这些速度也会同步到您的主机DAW BPM。播放每个乐句时,主界面图形将更改为显示该乐句和预设字段。
GUI键盘上还显示了代表乐器部分的12个字段中每个字段的颜色–这是12个弹奏键的快速参考。
吹扫
您可以使用此图标从单个预设字段中清除样品,然后再次单击以重新加载。使用此功能释放系统RAM。
MOD轮
默认情况下,MIDI键盘的MOD滚轮将控制所有预设字段的输出音量。但是,可以禁用一个或多个字段的MOD轮控制。这样您可以保持一个或多个词组的音量不变,同时使用MOD轮更改其他词组,从而实现更好的表达。使用它来创建有趣的,不断变化的短语和crescendos / descscendos。单击每个预设字段中的此图标可打开/关闭MOD轮控制。
速度控制
Indie中的短语已以100 BPM的速度录制,并且默认情况下将同步到您的主机DAW速度,在Kontakt内进行时间拉伸以匹配BPM。但是,可以将所有短语切换为一半/两倍时间。点击ITM图标,以更改短语相对于DAW的BPM的播放速度。
1倍:相对于DAW BPM的原始记录速度
2倍:以2倍速播放,相对于DAW BPM

Many people assume that Sonokinetic’s signature sound is grand and statuesque, as we fill our recording space with many talented players and layer phrases together in our bespoke Kontakt engines. However, sometimes it’s great to dial things down for a more personal feel, and that’s just what we’ve done with Indie. The style of these intimate ensemble phrases take their lead from modern TV drama, boutique film and independent video games with a naked and personal sound.
Recording smaller versions of our string, woodwind and brass ensembles just wasn’t enough this time around, so we’ve also supplemented them with a huge selection of melodic percussion phrases. For the first time ever, string quartet phrases have been included, perfect for layering with the other ensembles to bring the focus back to your compositions. The overall emphasis here is on the lightest of touches, from delicate violin duos and solo clarinet to harp glissandi and gently played mallets.
In fact, the melodic percussion deserves a special mention as we made sure to catch all the subtlety and wonder of these instruments, including the seldom-sampled concert cimbalom, a dulcimer-like instrument with a unique sound. The dreamy melodic textures we composed for Indie were delicately played by our performers in the same space as the other ensembles. Marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, crotales, upright piano, celesta and concert harp bring an intense personal feel to the whole collection.
We felt that the Indie recordings were well suited to the playback engine which we originally debuted with ‘Noir’, our jazz-drenched section library. That means that the 12 preset keys each hold a single performance. Mapping phrases like this makes it easy to combine melodies and harmonies and hear real-time performances intertwine with one another.
The randomize feature also makes a welcome return, which conjures twelve complimentary phrases with every press. There’s also the option to randomize per orchestral section, either string quartet, string ensemble, woodwinds, brass quintet or melodic percussion.
Producing Indie was a experience like no other and we hope that when you hear it, you’ll feel the same way.
We, at Sonokinetic BV, are very proud to introduce Indie to you and can’t wait to hear the amazing things you, our valued customer base, will produce with it.
Sonokinetic has established a name as one of the best value & quality sample producers and with this product we’d like to underline that statement. We stick with our unbeatable pricing module and high quality sampling.
The Interface
Left is the main interface for Indie. This particular screenshot is showing a woodwind phrase assigned to the F key, of the 12 available preset fields. Each of the fields operates in the same way with options for choosing phrases, mod wheel control, tempo, score view, harmonic shift, offset, X-fade, panning and volume.
Accessibility
There’s also a far less artistic, but simpler GUI layout available by clicking on the Sonokinetic logo. This changes the text to a more standard font, increases the color contrast and unblurs the icons – useful for those with accessibility concerns.
Preset Fields
Indie has 12 preset keys that can be used to trigger phrases and these relate to 12 fields of the interface shown here.
We’ve sampled string quartet, strings, woodwinds, brass and melodic percussion and you can play the phrases by playing keys from MIDI C3-B3. These are also tempo synced to your host DAW BPM. As you play each phrase the main interface graphic will change to display that phrase and preset field.
The colors of each of the 12 fields, which represent instrument sections, are also shown on the GUI keyboard – a quick reference for the 12 playing keys.
Purging
You can purge the samples from an individual preset field with this icon – and click again to reload. Use this function to free up system RAM.
MOD Wheel
By default the MOD wheel of your MIDI keyboard will control the output volume of all preset fields. However, it’s possible to disable MOD wheel control for one or more fields. This allows greater expression as you can keep the volume of one or more phrases constant whilst changing others with the MOD wheel. Use this to create interesting, constantly changing phrases and crescendos / decrescendos. Click this icon in each preset field to toggle MOD wheel control on / off.
Speed Control
Phrases in Indie have been recorded at 100 BPM and will sync to your host DAW tempo by default, being time-stretched within Kontakt to match the BPM. However, it is possible to switch all phrases into half / double time. Click the ITM icon to change the playback speed of the phrase, relative to your DAW’s BPM.
1X : Original recorded speed, relative to DAW BPM
2X : Playback at 2 x speed, relative to DAW BPM
1/2 X : Playback at ½ speed, relative to DAW BPM
ITM : Automatic – “Intelligent Tempo Mapping” – Playback at recorded speed, but at automatic half / double time at extreme tempi. This is generally the best speed setting. However, if your project has a tempo change mid-phrase, you may find that an alternative speed setting may be more useful. Also, when you are doing gradual tempo changes across a large range, it might be a good idea to opt for one of the fixed values instead of ITM.
Score View
The phrases in Indie are represented by graphics instead of actual notations. However, clicking on the score icon shown here will access the original notation. This will open a large Score View, where you can view the currently selected phrase in notated form.
From this window you can directly access the score for your currently selected preset field and see the major, minor and dominant variations of it in all 12 root keys.
Drag MIDI
The Indie interface features a DRAG MIDI button in the score view window. Click the MIDI legend or orange swatch, hold and drag into your DAW to paste the MIDI information from the Indie score straight into tracks of your DAW.
One or more MIDI tracks will be created in you DAW which correlate with the number of staves shown in the score view for that particular phrase. You can then assign your own virtual instruments to these tracks and edit the MIDI data in the normal way.
We’ve developed this to be a real time-saver when you need access to the MIDI data of Indie outside of the instrument itself. Drag MIDI is useful for several things and gives you ultimate flexibility over the notation of the phrases within Indie. For example, for doubling instruments, transposing or more complex editing. Drag MIDI also allows a quick and easy way for orchestrators to transfer Indie’s phrases to a score prepared for live players.
Please note that the MIDI is derived from the original score that the musicians performed, not from the performance itself. Therefore the MIDI will not reflect the nuances of play, and you may have to adjust it manually to get a perfect match with the played performance when doubling it with external instruments. Also note that the MIDI dragged cannot be used as an input for Indie, you’ll need other virtual instruments on different tracks in your DAW to play the dragged and dropped MIDI files.
Harmonic Shift
The Harmonic Shift function allows the user to play phrases simultaneously in different, but related, keys. This function can be used to access even more complex chord combinations and harmonies when phrases are played together.
Harmonic Shift can be turned on or off for each preset field with the +/- button but it’s most useful if you turn it on for some preset fields and off in others.
You should note that Harmonic Shift only designates an interval, relative to C. For example, playing an Em chord and then using the Harmonic Shift keyswitch at D# (an interval of a third) would add a minor third up from Em. This would result in a G major phrase being added. By default we have chosen a relative major or minor for each interval, which we deem most useful.
The effectiveness and musicality of the Harmonic Shift varies, depending on the phrases you assign to each field and the harmonic shift intervals that you play. Experiment with different phrases and settings to create interesting and surprising textures and note combinations.
Microphone Mixing
Click this icon at the bottom left of the interface to display the microphone mixing controls. Mouse-over the pick swatch to activate the icon.
The samples for Indie have been recorded in the same hall as sister libraries Largo, Noir, Espressivo, Tutti Vox, Ostinato series, Maximo, Woodwinds Ensembles, Sotto, Capriccio, Grosso, Minimal, Da Capo, Tutti and Vivace.
As such, Indie has similar options for microphone mixing; Close, Decca Tree, Wide and Far (balcony).
It is possible to use just one microphone position or mix between two different positions.
These different positions can be selected by clicking on the microphone position name.
Mixing is controlled by dragging the slider button. The crossfade operates in such a way that the central position will play both microphone positions at full volume.
Microphone mixing options are global and apply to the entire instance of Indie including all phrases and fields. Note that activating multiple microphone sections puts additional strain on CPU usage.
If you plan on using just one microphone position, set the other position to NONE to conserve CPU and RAM.
