Walkthrough: Gholem - Unholy String Textures for Kontakt Player

Riot Audio's GHOLEM is a two-layer aleatoric/extended techniques instrument focusing on violin, cello, viol da gamba, modified Spanish guitar and a selection of bowed metal and ceramic resonant objects.

Based on multiple 90 second long performances for each instrument, a random sample position function allows for up to 11 unison voices per layer to play at the same time. The considerable aleatoric variation across each of the performances rule out phasing issues between the different sample start points and create a realistic sense of an ensemble performing together.

This unique approach results in a versatile instrument that can switch from soloist performances to full 22-player ensembles with just a few minor user changes. GHOLEM also includes an LFO, set of custom impulse responses as well as time-stretching capabilities for extensive sound design possibilities well beyond naturalistic playback.
