Quantum Leap Colossus QUANTUM LEAP COLOSSUS COLOSSUS is the first, super high quality, complete sound set ever created. COLOSSUS is a massive 32 gigabyte (not megabyte) virtual instrument that covers all of the basic musical genres, the way a keyboard workstation attempts to, except COLOSSUS offers much higher quality than any keyboard available today. COLOSSUS is an indispensable tool that you will reach for time and time again when nothing else works, it will become your Swiss army knife of composing, and it’s GENERAL MIDI compatible! You can expect the usual QUANTUM LEAP quality in COLOSSUS. Even if you own some of these instruments, you will love this. A good example is the Fender Rhodes. Despite the fact the Rhodes has been successfully sampled many times, COLOSSUS includes a unique vintage sounding Rhodes you won’t find anywhere else. COLOSSUS includes 15 Gigs of new sounds recorded at Ocean Way Studio B (24-bit), a new 2 Gig piano recorded in Europe, and 15 Gigs from the award-winning range of QUANTUM LEAP and EASTWEST titles, all newly programmed with superior sound quality due to the features and improved audio quality of the included Native Instruments KOMPAKT player. Programming is kept very simple, and programs that utilize the mod-wheel are labeled appropriately. All programs have CC11 as an additional volume control. Many programs utilize auto sample alternation for added realism. For touring musicians, this is the ultimate instrument to have on the road or in a club, in fact, we are also releasing a hardware rack-mount version of COLOSSUS called COLOSSUS LIVE. COLOSSUS has incredible instruments of every type (check out the complete list at the bottom of this page), for song-writing, film- scoring, multi-media production, in the studio, or on stage, COLOSSUS has you completely covered.

  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

  • 3 the Invention of the Concertina
    3 The Invention of the Concertina Introduction Having outlined the concertina’s place within the broad history of modern free-reed instruments, I now discuss in detail the circumstances surrounding its appearance and first commercial production. I seek to identify the intentions of its creator, the influences upon its form and the degree of innovation involved. In doing so I hope to address two popular, yet contrasting, views on the invention of the concertina. Firstly, I wish to challenge the view commonly held by enthusiasts of the instrument, including many of my informants, that its invention was the one-off, brilliant creation of an eccentric scientific genius. The concertina was first produced some time during the 1830s by Wheatstone and Co. of London and it is clear that its conception and design were the responsibility of Charles Wheatstone. It is, however, too easy to apply a “heroic” view of invention which clouds proper understanding of innovation in the nineteenth century and over-elevates individual achievements. As the previous chapter described, the concertina was just one of a number of new free-reed products to emerge from an extended period of research and innovation in musical instrument design and manufacture. I wish to emphasise here that it was also just one part of a line of innovations by its creator, who was also an outstanding teacher, experimenter and pioneering inventor in acoustics, optics, electricity, telegraphy and other fields. Secondly, while popular tradition privileges this single aspect of Wheatstone’s work, writers on scientific matters have tended to regard his activities in the musical field as an interesting sideline, engaged in while bearing early responsibility for the family music business but abandoned on maturity for pressing work in other, more important fields.

  • Introducing the Harmonica Box Concertina
    Introducing The Harmonica, Button Box and Anglo Concertina The harmonica, the Anglo concertina and the button accordion are three instruments that operate on a similar blow/draw or push/pull principle. This means, in theory at least, that if you can get your mind around the way one of them works then moving on to another will be familiar, even relatively painless. So if you can rattle out a tune on the mouth organ you should at least have an idea how the concertina or button accordion works. A full octave of musical tones or steps contains 12 notes, 13 if you count the next octave note. (To get an octave note just means doubling, or halving, the frequency, such as by halving the length of a guitar string, or causing a reed to vibrate half, or twice, as fast). A scale containing all those 12 notes is called a chromatic scale. Most basic songs and tunes however only need a select 8 of these tones, the familiar ‘doh, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, doh’ thing, that’s 7 only notes, or 8 if you count the second ‘doh’. This is called a diatonic scale. The harmonica, Anglo concertina and button accordion are diatonic free reed instruments, in general they come with just the basic 7 notes that you will need to play most tunes, in one set key or starting point. And they make those notes when air is blown over little metal reeds that sit snugly in a frame. Each button, or hole on a harmonica, has two reeds and makes two different sounds, one when the bellows are pushed together, or you blow into a harmonica, another when the bellows are pulled apart, or you draw air in.

  • What Is an Instrument?
    What is an instrument? • Anything with which we can make music…? • Rhythm, melody, chords, • Pitched or un-pitched sounds… • Narrow definitions vs. Extremely broad definitions Tone Colour or Timbre (pronounced TAM-ber) • Refers to the sound of a note or pitch – Not the highness or lowness of the pitch itself • Different instruments have different timbres – We use words like smooth, rough, sweet, dark – Ineffable? Range • Instruments and voices have a range of notes they can play or sing – Demo guitar and voice • Lowest to highest sounds • Ways to push beyond the standard range Five Categories of Musical Instruments Classification system devised in India in the 3rd or 4th century B.C. 1. Aerophones • Wind instruments, anything using air 2. Chordophones • Stringed instruments 3. Membranophones • Drums with heads 4. Idiophones • Non-drum percussion 5. Electrophones • Electronic sounds 1. Aerophones • Wind instruments, anything using air • Aerophones are generally either: • Woodwind (Doesn’t have to be wood i.e. flute) • Reed (Small piece of wood i.e. saxophone) • Brass (Lip vibration i.e. trumpet) Flute • Woodwind family • At least 30,000 years old (bone) Ex: Claude Debussy – “Syrinx” (1913) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_yf7FIyu1Y Ex: Jurassic 5 – “Flute Loop” (2000) Ex: Van Morrison – “Moondance” (1970) (chorus) Ex: Gil Scott-Heron – “The Bottle” (1974) Ex: Anchorman “Jazz Flute”(0:55) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh95taIdCo0 Bass Flute • One octave lower than a regular flute Ex: Overture from The Jungle Bookhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUH42ciR5SA • Other related instruments: • Piccolo (one octave higher than a flute) • Pan flutes • Bone or wooden flutes Accordion • Modern accordion: early 19th C.
