31st October 2014 - KVR Audio News

Soundiron has released Sick Volume 5, a new sound library designed to explore eerie melodic tuned plucked strings and mallets, unconventional winds and musical effects for the sci-fi, horror and mystery genres. It also includes a collection of evolving tonal ambient pads, atmospheric soundscapes, harmonic clouds and menacing drones.

Sick Volume 5 features 5 acoustic instrument sets, recorded in a chamber with both close and far mic positions:

The "Astral Dirge Pipe" is similar to a multi-key tuned slide didgeridoo, with chromatic sustains, staccatos and effects.
The "Channeling Tube" is a classic Thunder Tube, played both percussively and semi-chromatically by plucking the spring at differing lengths.
The "Conjuring Bell" is a pair of chimes with sound holes to allow "wah-wah" effects as they ring.
The "Spectral Moaner" is a droning wind instrument swung overhead to produce a harmonic series based on speed.
The "Demon String" is an acoustic guitar with a Vo-96 guitar synthesizer that produces self-sustaining harmonic drones, with a full range of plucks, plus major, minor and octave chord types.

There are also 60 sci-fi and horror-inspired ambiences and evolving soundscapes. Every preset includes cutting edge control features, rack FX and selectable reverb impulses to allow a user plenty of creative control.

Sick 5 includes 8 master instrument bank presets with dozens of articulations, 1452 unlocked wav samples and 4 GB installed. This library requires the full version of Kontakt 5.1 or later and is not supported by the free Kontakt Player:
