AkousKontr

AkousKontr

The AkousKontr is German 4/4 four strings Upright bass recorded from both the pickup and with a pair of Electrostatic Microphones.

On the top of the interface, you can control the behavior of the instrument:

• Legato mode: you can choose wether playing a legato will trigger Hammer ons, slides, sustains, or simply have no effect.
• The legato distance will define the maximum interval that in which the legato will apply.
• The Sensitivity will set the minimum volume for velocity 1 and give you access to all the dynamics that you want.
• The release Volume: the sound produced when you release a string if a note was going on.
• AkousKontr was recorded both from the Microphone and using the pickup and you can change the volume of each one from the interface.
