Spitfire Audio Producer Portfolio Kings Cross Kitchenware Metal KONTAKT-SYNTHiC4TE

A selection of sounds that give you the effect of well worn mallet
instruments but without their associated stereotypes. Not quite
glockenspiels, not quite celestes. This library will add an inticing
magic to your music.
SPITFIRE PRESENTS THE FIRST OUTING IN IT'S KITCHENWARE RANGE!
Inspired by legends, Steve Reich, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Brian
Eno and the score for 'Solaris' by Cliff Martinez. Christian Henson,
with his brother Joe many moons ago developed, in his own noisy flat
in Soho, a private library of tapped, struck and flicked kitchenware.
This became a go-to resource for Christian in times of trouble and
creative dry patches. It became much admired by colleagues and fellow
composers that Christian (who had by this point started working with
Paul Thomson), decided to record a commercial version in a central
London location. As the original samples contained too much of the
background bucolic atmosphere of soho for modern broader tastes! But
Paul, Joe and Christian decided this was too good to give away and....
regrettably (even though having announced it's imminent release in a
very early iteration of this website) sat on it like three greedy s
ample Gollums. They feature heavily in a number of film and TV shows,
most notably in Henson's score for The Secret Of Moonacre.
Experience has since shown that the best way to develop samples is to
share.
Corners aren't cut, and broader applications are considered. So Paul,
Christian and the Spitfire team, freshly unpacked in their new Kings
Cross location with ultra quiet recording spaces went back to the
drawing board and developed a new Kitchenware range, deep sampled with
a selection of beaters and mic perspectives.
First out of the traps is an extensive library of Metalware; 2.2 GB
compressed data from over 6.3GB in WAV format and over 3100 samples.
With up to 3 dynamic layers and 5 round robins per instrument,
including a variety of easily switchable beaters and techniques,
including finger nail flicks and slaps.
Sampled from 12 specially selected (with a variety of both simple and
complex harmonic sonority) bowls, jugs and cups, we hope and believe
this new sound-set will provide you with hours of inspiration, whether
it be creating and layering top lines, creating complex contrapuntal
systems sequences, or metallic bell like sound scales. Roll up the
attack for whispy pads, tune down and up to radically change the
harmonic characteristics alongside a host of specially selected
internal effects to make this magical instrument your own.

Requires a full version of Kontakt 4 or 5 to run.
