Precisionsound releases Hybrid Factory for Kontakt

Precisionsound has released Hybrid Factory, a sample-based synthesizer for Native Instruments Kontakt 4.

Hybrid Factory is capable of over 1,000 combinations of sounds. Users can make warm analogue emulations, aggressive digital tones, and imaginary electroacoustic instruments.

The samples in Hybrid Factory were created by Iain Morland using a wide range of techniques, including resynthesizing acoustic instruments; physical modelling; granular synthesis; processing Foley recordings; FM synthesis; sampling old cassettes; and convolving instruments with one another. This gives users a varied and unusual palette for sound design.

Hybrid Factory contains:

• Over 1,160 stereo samples at 24-bit, 44.1khz quality.
• 80 NKI presets, including basses, leads, keys and pads, demonstrating the capabilities of Hybrid Factory.
• Twelve unique impulse responses.
• A default NKI to use as a starting point for user patches.
• The size of the sample pool is 1.77GB (1.32GB compressed). Thanks to Kontakt’s disk streaming technology, the samples use only 134MB RAM.

Price: $69 (+$11 to add DVD). The full version of Kontakt 4.2.3 or above is required. Hybrid Factory will not work with the free Kontakt Player.
