about.nfo
Big Fish Audio and Funk/Soul Productions are proud to present Grindhouse, a cinematic VI For Kontakt 5.6 and above.
The instruments that we sampled for Grindhouse were chosen because they have a truly distinctive sound and character. We used old instruments, cheap instruments, and instruments that most sensible people would have probably taken to a music store for repairs, or thrown in the trash (in fact, at least two of the instruments in this product were recovered from a town dump).
DISTORTION - adds simulated tube-amp distortion
BASS - a bipolar control used to increase or decrease the amount of bass
TREBLE - a bipolar control used to increase or decrease the amount of treble
HI-CUT - reduces the high end, making instruments sound dull and slightly muffled.
LO-CUT - a filter that reduces the low end, making instruments sound thin and tinny.
REVERB - controls the amount of reverb
Drop-Down Menu #1 - provides a selection of 10 high-quality convolution Reverbs
TAPE SAT - adds analog tape-style compression and limiting, fattens-up sounds
DELAY - controls the number and loudness of Delays (see below) added
Drop-Down Menu #2 - a selection of tempo-synched Delays and delay-effects
ADSR - separate knobs for Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release
WOBBLE - causes the pitch to fluctuate unpredictably, similar to old film or tape.
