FILTERS: A high-pass and a low pass filter help you cut out unwanted frequencies

REVERB SELECTOR: pick one of 20 custom Impulse Responses

ATTACK: bring this up for mellow and smooth rolls without audible strokes, or down to hear the impact of the mallet.

RELEASE: maximum release values provide an authentic decay of the cymbal, while lower values help replicate a chocked roll.

MONO: reduce the stereo width to easily integrate the swell in your mix

BRIGHT: add a slight boost of high-frequencies

NOTCH: subtle cut of low-mid and high-mid frequency resonances

FX: speaker simulation to create eerie, ghostly sounds

CYMBAL ROLLS Q&A:

CYMBAL ROLLS: Zildjian 19" Beautiful Baby Ride

Will these instruments work with Kontakt Free Player?

Yes, you can load these instruments with the Free Kontakt Player, but with limited functions: saving is disabled, and the instrument will close automatically after 15 minutes. To enjoy the full functionality of CYMBAL ROLLS, use the latest version of Kontakt 5 (version 5.3.1 minimum)

Do I need a powerful computer to use the swell instruments in real-time?

No, the instruments will load and work very smoothly even on a modest computer, like a 4-years old basic MacBook Pro.

Can I play the cymbals using a pad controller or an electronic drum set?

Yes, there is one included instrument (all cymbals_set.nki) that lets you play all cymbals without automatic roll functions. Deep multi-sampling and clever programming allow you to achieve highly realistic and organic results.
