Details

The library includes 160 patches and 1593 samples, showcasing a variety of instruments that capture the essence of vintage sound design. Sounds are recorded onto VHS tapes, preserving their unique character before being mapped to Kontakt. This approach results in a toolkit filled with SID-like leads, 8-bit percussion, and glitchy transitions, all designed for flexibility in modern production.

Performance-ready patches are velocity-sensitive and support mod wheel automation, making them suitable for MIDI sequencing and real-time triggering. The user interface is resizable, allowing for a tailored workflow. With its focus on punchy lo-fi sounds, Crouching Fingers serves as a valuable resource for game composers, electronic musicians, and sound designers looking to evoke a distinct retro vibe.
