Guess The Soundsource..?

[Lionel Schmitt]

What could be the soundsource of this? All sounds have the same type of source and are almost unprocessed recordings. Just some selected samples thrown into Kontakt, little bit of attack and sample start adjustment and reverb. That's all. Then just playing with it. :D

I think you give it away at 0:10 with the low e to d glissando

Just a pitch bend move.

It's not an instrument! :D

I happen to know what it is, but I'm very curious what the original recording sounds like and how you achieved this sound. It's quite beautiful and melancholy

Well, it is the original sound, I just grabbed a few tonal bits, mapped them in Kontakt so that it plays across the whole keyboard range and added reverb. Then just some minor sample start and attack adjustments

You have a very special [REDACTED] then, mine don't sound anywhere close to those bends

The bends were done with the pitchwheel

I'm not savvy enough to guess but the sound is enchanting and I'd like to know what it's sourced from.

It's a squeaking chair with no processing except reverb and slight pitch bend movement Just some tonal bits selected from the recording and dropped into kontakt to stretch it across a playable range. 2 patches, one for the short arp and the other for the texture/pad

That’s beautiful !

That's both beautiful and hilarious.

 

[ReelToLogic]

Very impressive! I've sampled real instruments and often had less success than this.

That's the first rule of sampling: the stuff you think will sound 'good', doesn't and vice versa.
So _always_ try everything you have. And record everything.
