SOUNDIRON SANDY-CREEK-ORGAN Vintage Thomas Monticello Organ for Kontakt Instruction Manual

ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT

The Soundiron Sandy Creek Organ library captures the last gasps of life from this well-worn vintage Thomas
Monticello organ. Bequeathed to us by a friendly neighbor, this gem had a story to tell. It seems that in the downtime between service as a musical instrument, this particular organ also served as a home to countless little critters who left their mark all over the interior.

In order to capture all of the character of this vintage treasure, we recorded two different microphone positions: up close and room. Sandy Creek Organ includes six different sustain types (two of which feature a rotating Leslie speaker), each with round robin and releases, as well as a variety of sound effects. As always we have included a selection of carefully crafted ambiences and creative fx presets to to help jumpstart your creative juices.

The actual Thomas Monticello we recorded may have reached its last stop, but it will live on forever in our Sandy Creek Organ.

CREATIVE CONTROL FEATURES

We’ve packed the user interface with powerful sound-shaping controls to give you complete flexibility. The master preset contains every sample in the library and a host of powerful expression features. There are 4 independent sound layers, each with a full set of parameters that can be linked, automated and customized. These include swell, attack, start offset, release (with pad- mode), vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, sound bank selection, and crossfader assignment.

Next, we used various sound-design tricks to morph the sounds from our journey into tonal and dissonant pads, synth-tones and ambient dreamscapes. You’ll find these in the Layers 3 & 4 sound menus. They can be played by themselves, or used to add texture and body to the primary sounds in Layers 1 & 2. They also includes a basic synthesizer with several shapes that can be added for transient and tonal support.

In the advanced settings pull-down window, you’ll also find an adaptable per- layer LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 13 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, mod-wheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator features a built-in velocity sequencer table and control over arp direction, note timing, swing, randomization and duration.

The built-in modular FX rack window offers 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8  available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phase, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes 99 of our own convolution reverb impulse presets. We’ve captured a huge variety of different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, along with 139 unique, strange and creative special effect impulses to completely transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

All of the sample content is included as standard open PCM wav files to allow you easy access to manipulate, reprogram and customize the sounds however you wish.

If you wish to use the optional Kontakt “nki” instrument presets, you’ll need to own the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 6.2.2 or later. You cannot use this library in the free Kontakt Player. Please be aware that the free Kontakt “Player” is not a full retail version of Kontakt and does not support this library.

Please read all specifications and software requirements before purchasing this or any other Soundiron products to see the full list of software requirements, features and format compatibility for each library. You must have at least Windows 7 or later, or Apple macOS 10.9 or later.

Once installation is complete, you can browse and load the included .nki presets using the Files, Quick-load or Database tabs in the Kontakt Browser, or through the main File load/save menu. Launch Kontakt as a virtual instrument plugin inside your host sequencer or in stand-alone mode. If you’re new to the Quick-load system, check out the Help area of our website and our YouTube channel for tutorial videos on how to use it effectively and conveniently.

Please allow any current preset to finish loading completely before loading a new one. You cannot use the Libraries view to load standard open-format Kontakt Instruments like this library. Only locked “Powered ByKontakt” Libraries are visible to that propriety browser view.

The “Add-Library” function does not support this product or any other open- format Kontakt library. This library doesn’t require any additional activation or unlocking process.

FIDELITY

Natural sonic impurities from body and clothing movement by the performer sounds may be present in some samples. These performance sounds are natural and unavoidable. Therefore, please keep in mind that this library isn’t designed to provide perfectly sterile results. Our goal is to preserve and accentuate the natural live qualities in our instruments without sucking all of the life out of them for the sake of clinical perfection.

KONTAKT INSTRUMENT HEADER
The top area of the user interface includes default instrument controls that are common to all Kontakt instruments.

USER INTERFACE

Advanced Control Tab – Click on this pull-down tab to open the advanced control window for access to the LFO, Filter and Arpeggiator systems (See pages 8 and 9).

1. Volume Knob – This controls the volume of the instrument, with smooth real-time tonal and dynamic attenuation.
2. Attack Knob – This controls the note attack shape. Turning this up causes the sound to fade in more gradually. This is useful for softening hard transients and taming aggressive articulations.
3. FX Rack – Click this to switch to the FX rack panel.
4. Offset Knob – This cuts into the sample start, allowing sample playback to skip past the beginning of the sound. You can use this to make the sound more pad-like or to remove hard transient starts, especially when combined with the Attack knob. It’s also great for creating glitchy effects.
5. Release Knob – This is mainly used for sustaining articulations and long notes. In Normal mode, notes fade out quickly as soon as they’re released. In Pad mode, the range of the Release knob is multiplied, allowing much longer fade-out times. This control is independent of the layer lock function.
6. Width Knob – This controls the stereo field. Collapse the sound to mono, or push the stereo spread to 100%.
7. Vibrato Knob – This applies basic vibrato to the sound. Depth effects how strong the vibrato effect is applied, Rate effects the vibrato speed.
8. Pan/Autopan Knob – In Pan mode, this controls the stereo panning, allowing you to spatialize the sound to your liking between the left and right channels. Click on the down arrow to switch to Autopan mode, which will ping-pong pan the signal..
9. Pitch Knob – This knob controls semitone and cent tuning for the instrument. You can shift the pitch by +/- 36 semitones. The ST/CT switch toggles the knob to control semitones or cents (1/100th semitone) increments by up to +/- 50 cents (1/2 semitone). Use this to shift octaves or fine-tune the sound.
10. Articulation Dropdown – This allows you to choose the articulation for the current layer. Each layer has its own independent menu. The articulation menus are not effected by the layer lock function.
11. Layer Crossfade – These buttons assign the currently selected Layer to the X-Fade slider. This allows you to create custom combinations of layers which you can easily and smoothly crossfade between.
12. Layer Lock – This links the (Swell, Attack, Offset, Release, Vibrato and Filter settings for all layers that have their lock button activated. Changing the knob values for one layer applies the same change to all other locked layers. This setting doesn’t effect the Invert Swell, Release Mode, Filter Type, Pitch or Articulation Selection Menu settings for each layer.
13. Layer Select – This selects a layer’s controls for editing. The lower control area displays the knobs and control settings for the currently selected layer. Layers 1 and 2 offer an additional drop-down menu to select the instrument.
14. Layer Activate – This enables a layer to play. Each layer can be independently enabled or disabled, allowing up to 4 layers to play at once.
15. Octave – Clicking “Octave” plays additional low and high octave versions of the current articulation that are blindable using the slider.
