If you are a total newbie to this kind of thing you can get up to speed here: http://www.spitfireaudio.com/info/basics/ First though, grab our ‘Library Manager’ app from this link: http://www.spitfireaudio.com/info/library-manager/ This app will enable you to download the library Once you’ve selected the location you can proceed with the download. NOTE THAT THE DOWNLOADER WILL CREATE A SUB-FOLDER FOR YOUR LIBRARY IN THE LOCATION SE- LECTED. This is important: if you have a multi part library, or an update, it means that the Library Manager app will look INSIDE the selected location for your library folder. If its not there, it will create a new library folder. So, if you mistakenly select the actual ‘SSB library’ folder itself, when adding content or doing an When you launch the app you will be prompted to login using update, instead of the location (one folder level up) that CON- the same details you use at our site. Then you’ll see your avail- TAINS this library folder, you’ll end up with a nested mess!! able downloads: TOP TIP: You will need approx TWICE the amount of hard drive space as the library uses (see the product page on our site for this info) to download: this is because the zip files are all downloaded, and then unzipped. This process takes a while so don’t panic if it looks like its frozen! TOP TIP 2: If you get in a total mess you can reset the download of either the whole library or just the latest update from the ‘Library’ menu of the app. This is limited to a couple of downloads as band- width is expensive! Please only do this if you actually need to. You’ll also see an option to Change Install Location, if you se- lected the wrong one, at any time you can hit the PAUSE button to pause the download, then select CHANGE INSTALL LOCA- Once you have selected what you wish to download on the left TION and the app will move all the downloaded files to the new pane and clicked the ‘download’ button you will have the option location. Once it has finished you’ll be prompted if you want to to select a location. proceed, THEN you can hit the RESUME button to continue the download in the new location. A default location will be generated but you’ll most likely want to change this. Here’s how! Click on the two little vertical arrow- heads to the right of the default location. You will be presented with the following options, and you’ll want to click ‘CHOOSE’.

Your library is authorised. If the library does not add to the libraries pane or disappears when you re-open Kontakt, see Ap- pendix E - Troubleshooting and common problems If you have never used Kontakt before we wholeheartedly rec- ommend that you familiarise yourself with the basics of patch (or instrument) loading, multi management, outputting and midi routing detailed in the Kontakt user manual and native instru- ments website: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/sam- plers/kontakt-5/downloads/ If you are an established Kontakt user please make sure you PAGE 4 SP - USER MANUAL FOLDER STRUCTURE Looking in the main folder (right) for Spitfire Percussion you will see the instruments and basic drum groups listed as well as three folders containing the following: Individual instruments - each separate instrument from the Drums - High, Drums - Low, Toys, Unpitched - metal and Un- pitched - wood in their own individual patches. Double clicking on any folder will reveal its content and double clicking again will navigate up a level. Premade ensembles - these are premade groupings of instru- ments arranged in logical or commonly used. These include: Contemporary, Hands and hits, Low Ensemble, Metal Clangs, Snare ensemble and Traditional Orchestra. Unmapped ensembles - These are the same groupings of in- struments as above but the note ranges for each instrument have not been mapped, allowing you to map them to taste from scratch. OPENING YOUR FIRST INSTRUMENT. Simply double click an ‘nki’ file (this is Native Instruments’ file extension for a Kontakt instrument) to load, or indeed drag the instrument (it’ll have the little keyboard icon and the suffix .nki) from the left pane into the right pane. If you can’t hear anything double check first that the midi channel you are transmitting on with your keyboard is the same as the one in the Kontakt Instrument!

  • Ensoniq Mirage Factory Disks I Compiled This List to Help Me Organise and Label My
    Ensoniq Mirage Factory Disks I compiled this list to help me organise and label my own (muddled) collection of disks. I hope it is of use to others – please feel free to correct any mistakes I’ve made. I’m not sure of the chronology of these libraries, and my listings are not 100% complete. This does not cover 3 rd party disks . From memory, when you bought a Mirage you got two (maybe 3?) sound disks with it – these were the ones numbered 1.4, 3.2, etc. I’ve listed what I know of those. There was also a library numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. These went up to at least 23, maybe further? Again, I’ve listed what I know of those. Then a library starting 100, 101, 102. All I know for sure is the contents of 102. Finally there was a 30 disk library – A1-10, B1-10 and C1-10. I have listed these completely. As far as I can see, this library (still available at a stupid price from Syntaur as of Jan 2013) covers every library sample Ensoniq ever did for the Mirage. You’ll notice that some of the disks are duplicated, eg 12 is identical to B09. Other disks are made up from different ones – 23 is the Steel Guitar, Banjo and Fiddle from A06 with the Tremolo Mandolin from B06.

Building a Relationship with Percussion Instruments Bill Matney, Kalani Das, & Michael Marcionetti Materials used with permission by Sarsen Publishing and Kalani Das, 2017 Building a relationship with percussion instruments Going somewhere new can be exciting; it might also be a little intimidating or cause some anxiety. If I go to a party where I don’t know anybody except the person who invited me, how do I get to know anyone else? My host will probably be gracious enough to introduce me to others at the party. I will get to know their name, where they are from, and what they commonly do for work and play. In turn, they will get to know the same about me. We may decide to continue our relationship by learning more about each other and doing things together. As music therapy students, we develop relationships with music instruments. We begin by learning instrument names, and by getting to know a little about the instrument. We continue our relationship by learning technique and by playing music with them! Through our experiences and growth, we will be able to help clients develop their own relationships with instruments and music, and therefore be able to 1 strengthen the therapeutic process.

  • Cineperc 1.1 Manual V3
    Welcome to CinePerc v1.1! Cinesamples is proud to present CinePerc, our comprehensive percussion library. CinePerc comes in four parts; Core, Pro, Epic, and Aux. All of these instruments were recorded in excruciating detail at the SONY Scoring Stage in Los Angeles, and mixed by master engineer Dennis Sands. CORE The Core library brings you the bread and butter of the orchestral percussion section - generally instruments that were standard in pre-20th Century scores. This set of instruments will cover a large part of your day-to-day orchestral percussion needs. PRO CinePerc PRO includes many more percussion instruments for your orchestral template. In general these patches give you control over sounds that were more recently standardized in 20th Century music. EPIC CinePerc EPIC is the most beastly of the four CinePerc packages. This library includes enormous-sounding single and ensemble percussion patches to give your cues that punch they need. Trailer music composers will find themselves reaching for these patches first to get that larger-than-life sound. AUX CinePerc AUX is an expansion to the other CinePerc options that will expand your template along with your creativity. This expansion includes ethnic instruments, toys, and other knick-knacks to give your pieces an extra flavor. What’s New in v1.1 All Libraries: • Changed Patch List names to be better searchable by “importance” • Added 6db to all patches to make the full mix blend better with other libraries • ON MOST libraries (where we had keyboard real estate) Rolls were stretched to A# with no release, so you have an option to have a release trigger (playing “B”) or not have a release trigger.

    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Compositional and Orchestrational Trends in the Orchestral Percussion Section Between the Years of 1960-2009 SUBMITTED TO THE MUSIC SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSIC Field of Percussion By Renee E. Keller EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2013 © Copyright by Renee Keller 2013 All Rights Reserved 4 ABSTRACT Compositional and Orchestrational Trends in the Orchestral Percussion Section Between the Years of 1960-2009 Renee E. Keller The purpose of this study was to identify new trends and innovations as regards the orchestral percussion section between the years of 1960-2009. In order identify possible trends this study examined 87 compositions written for orchestra between 1960 and 2009. The necessary historical background identified a number of trends already in use by 1960. Among those were increasing calls for special effects, the introduction and inclusion of the marimba and vibraphone in orchestral music, an increased demand for difficult and important mallet parts, general increases in the size and force of the percussion section, and an increased demand for expanded timpani range and tuning. Scores were examined for those trends as well for new or unusual playing techniques, the prevalence of multi-percussion setups in the orchestra, detail of composer instruction and percussion ensemble in the orchestra. Changing opinions and attitudes regarding percussion which occurred during the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century were also documented. The results indicate that a number of changes took place in orchestral percussion writing from 1960-2009. General findings show increased demands on the percussion sections of today compared to the percussion sections of the past in both number of instruments and players.
