Riffendium Vol. 3

Introducing the new member of the Riffendium Series for Kontakt 5.8

Riffendium 3

Ambient Guitars.

RIFFENDIUM SERIES is a themed sample library collection for modern producers and composers.

It includes loops of real, modeled, synthesized and designed instruments, resulting in an original palette of inspiring sounds for creators of electronic and organic music.

The third instalment in this series is a collection of Ambient electric guitar loops which spans from clean arpeggios techniques to emotive chords and melodies.

2+2 Instruments

The third instalment of Riffendium series includes 2+2 instruments: RIFFENDIUM3 and RIFFENDIUM3 REV, and their DI and REV DI counterparts, bundled in a single package. RIFFENDIUM3's samples pool is made of recordings taken from the amplifier's output and offers ready made guitar sounds, for a fast workflow. RIFFENDIUM3 REV offers the same sample pool, but adds the option to reverse each slice to create exciting new guitar parts and soundscapes.

RIFFENDIUM3 DI and REV DI offer samples taken from the guitar output signal, allowing you to use your favourite Amp Simulator and guitar chain, to fit your music 100%.

Articulations Sequencer

Generate unique custom loops by using RIFFENDIUM3's articulations sequencer. Since the articulations come from a real performance, the result will always sound like a real guitarist playing a new guitar part.

44 Guitar Performances

Start from one of the 44 original recordings, then edit, re-arrange the slices, randomise, save new guitar parts. This release includes useful guitar loops that will fit in many styles of ambient music, from post rock to film scoring.

From Guitars to Infinity. And more with REV!

Riffendium3's engine makes it incredibly easy to create a guitar sound that fits your song, but it also allows you to build out-wordly sounds that you won't believe they originated from a guitar performance.

And now, with RIFFENDIUM3 REV and REV DI, you can manipulate your performances to a totally different level.

No more stale one-key loops. These loops are alive!

Stale loops will hardly fit your music chords and will result as a robotic repetition of the same thing over and over. RIFFENDIUM3's loops will follow your chords as they were recorded in most major and minor shapes (and more than just that). RIFFENDIUM3's loops use Round Robins, therefore at every cycle the loop will sound slightly different, like a real guitar performance.

Pedals, Speakers and Effects

RIFFENDIUM3 provides the straight Amp Output signal and different Cabinets simulations for more tweak-ability. You can also bypass RIFFENDIUM3 speaker simulations and use your favourite Cabinet impulse responses. Also, 4 distortion, 4 modulation effects plus master delay and reverb are available for more sound tweaking.

Instant Double Track

At the touch of a button, a double track guitar will appear on the right side of the stereo spectrum, with its own Effect Pedals chain and volume. This is not just a simple stereoizer effect. It's a complete set of new samples that sound different as they should. A real double track.

Step Effects

We would not be Audiofier if we did not add some craziness to our instruments. A Step Volume and Step Filter fx will add movement and excitement to your guitar lines.

Stutter Repeater

A different approach to stuttering with assignable or random repetitions for each articulation slice, with echo effect or pitch detuning. Fun from another world.

Browser

You can filter the original loop performances by category: clean, crunch or distorted tones; straight, syncopated or riffy parts; including chords, power chords or single notes. Easy.

Convolver

A staple in our instruments, with taylor-made impulses that will enhance and/or mutate the sound turning into something totally different. Is this still a guitar?
