Chordscape is an ambient infinite tape playback machine designed to create evolving modulated dark ambient soundscapes. Chordscape contains 8GB of sound designed content derived from acoustic instruments, natural recordings, sound design, outboard effects and synthesizers. Each sound has been carefully created from scratch to fit the engine and philosophy of the library by our good friend Erick McNerney.
There are 4 sound sources, an inbuilt browser system, 4 dedicated sequencers and multiple assignable effects. The unique feature of Chordscape is that it is designed to emulate a tape machine in that you simply press play (rather than playing notes) and then create the movement by modulating and automating parameters as it plays. This gives incredibly unique evolving sounds that never stop!
With 4 sounds sources, each with 13 sound categories you could get lost in Chordsape for days. All sounds are accessible using the pop-up browser system and mixer settings are retained per sound. Chordscape allows nearly every single control to be modulated over time. With a dedicated pop-up modulation system with between 4 and 128 steps per conrol it is possible to create pulses, stepped sequences or long smooth progressions and adjust the speed individually for every control.
If you don’t know how to use snapshots in Kontakt then you don’t know what you are missing. They load quicker, can be organised better and shared easier than using a bunch of nkis. Chordscape ships with over 200 in 5 different categories to get you started. Please ensure you place the snapshots in the correct location on your computer to get the most out of Chordscape. Please refer to the documentation and our FAQs for more details.
