To present a unique take on a familiar sound, we worked with vibraphonist Alexander Gagatsis to distill the intimate velvet tones found at the softest of dynamics of his vibraphone. To expand on the main instrument patch that includes \u2018true tremelo\u2019 control, Alex performed arpeggios and swells, as well as a technique of using the stick end of the beater. Combined with the \u2018Seven Days Kontakt engine\u2019 that stacks reverb and delays, it\u2019s easy to create ethereal soundscapes or loop-like experiments, and explore a whole new take on the sound of the vibraphone.<\/p>\n Mic positions:<\/b> FX:<\/b> Simply click which effect you would like to use and the controls will appear. The stacking of reverb and delay allows easy creation of ethereal and modified soundscapes. Behind the scenes the FX chain is as follows:<\/p>\n Tape \u2013 Reverb 1 \u2013 Delay 1 \u2013 Delay 2 \u2013 Reverb 2 \u2013 Stereo \u2013 Limiter<\/p>\n Controlling levels:<\/b> Articulations:<\/b> Valves Closed: perform with the valves fully closed. A quieter, softer tone Valves Open: perform with the valves fully open. A brighter, louder tone Swells: performed octave swells, increasing then decreasing in dynamic Arpeggios: major and minor arpeggios Alt Hit: performed with the stick end of the beater for a very bright sound Specifications:<\/b>Team DECiBEL | 01 Jan 2021 | 1.62GB<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stacking reverbs and delays can quickly add up and increase the volume significantly, so be sure to keep an eye on levels to avoid any distorted sounds coming through. To help control levels when you feel like cranking things up, the \u2018limiter\u2019 toggle is available on all screens. The limiter can also be used as a creative tool when an over-driven crushed sound is desired. Simple turn the limiter on and crank the \u2018verb and delay mixes up, and also try cranking the warmth and gain in the tape FX too. This crushed sound is a flavour favourite here at Waverunner Audio.<\/p>\n
