MK I 1975 Kontakt
The legendary MK I 1975 for NI Kontakt 5.8 or higher (full version of Kontakt only).
We tried everything to make it sound like the original. Including 6 velocity layers, key off samples and a very high dynamic range. You will see, this library is one of the most realistic as it keeps the natural imperfection in sound formation and tuning. It is dirty!
Still it will need only 70 MB of your memory by carefully looped sample material and reduced data and cpu consumption.
We packed it with a nice tube amp and some fx pedals. Adjust the effects per your own needs and create your own patches!
Facts:
-
70 MB of carefully looped sample data
-
6 velocity layer covering whole dynamic range of the original
-
Saturation, EQ, Phaser, Reverb, Tube Amp controls
Background Info
The 1975 models are in great demand as they have a very beefy bark characteristic and a beautiful bell timbre. For the sampling session, we took the signal directly at the harp's output - before the electronics. This way you get the best sound with all the harmonics and frequencies. You will be surprised by the beautiful sound of this instrument. The original instrument setup was optimized for a wide dynamic range and a warm sound. We tried to keep the characteristic of the real electric piano with all of its imperfectness. Best example is the tuning. Mostly, the samples for electric pianos are perfectly tuned. From our perspectives, this results in a unnatural, clean and thin sound. Normally such instruments are never perfectly tuned or the tines change their pitch while vibrating. This results in a warm and fat sound when playing chords.
Also the settings of the tines and their physical behavior is not equal. The keys have different characteristics and this makes it so colorful. We tried to capture this characteristics to benefit from the imperfectness for sake of realism.
It is stunning how well the Motif Series captures this sound and how well it keeps the warmth and fatness.
