THE BENDS is the second release in the Creative Differences series, a percussion instrument library that focuses on quality, organic percussion sounds recorded and designed for the Kontakt user. Following in the footsteps of HUMDRUM it features a collection of all things metal – gongs, cymbals, gamelan, triangles, and miscellaneous household items, struck, scraped and bowed while being immersed in water. THE BENDS Highlights: 30 patches of otherworldly pitch bends, underwater rhythms and hits make for a very evocative library for the adventurous music creator. 750 samples (up to a minute long) recorded at 24-96 kHz with contact and stereo microphones. Each patch allows for much manipulation with pitch, echo, reverb, shaping, arpeggiator and stutter key. Rhythmic patches are bpm’d.
