A new instrument for Native Instruments Kontakt 5 users just released. Vesper is the first release of the new Randomisers Series for Kontakt. Check it out here:
Vesper is a double engine themed rompler, geared towards “bells and twinkly things” type of sounds. But it features a powerful randomiser engine, a twin step sequencer and a “Trails layer” which adds motion to each patch.
Vesper comes with 135 sound sources loadable in 2 different slots, plus 20 Trails. Each sound source is multisampled and comes with 3 round robins.
Audiofier’s new “intelligent” Randomiser feature makes it incredibly easy to create new sounds quickly and makes presets redundant. It also possible to recall past randomisations and go back and forth in the randomisations history, also recalling past randomisations on the fly. Vesper offers the possibility to create patches from scratch, with multiple ways of choosing sound sources, including a categorised Sound Browser, which works hand in hand with the randomisation engine to quickly create sounds.
Vesper gives the option to reverse sounds on the fly and to adjust the length of each reversed sound by setting the start point with the mod wheel. In Vesper the user can play both sound sources at once (Single map Mode), one per key zone (Dual Map Mode) or randomly (Random Map Mode), creating interesting changing textures. This both while in Normal Mode or Step Sequencer Mode. The keyboard zones can be defined by the user.
Vesper features 2 simultaneous step sequencers with 8 memory slots.The user can change sequence on the fly like in Sequi2r Ex via keyswitch. Also, it is possible record sequences by playing, not by drawing, pretty much like in Sequi2r, but Vesper’s process is even faster and simpler. Permanent random generated sequences and Temporary random sequences spice up stale and repetitive phrases.
