Details

The library offers three distinct Kontakt instruments: Rhythms, Hits, and Risers. The Rhythms instrument includes a 16-step sequencer with nearly 1000 samples across categories like knocks, plucks, and screeches, allowing for extensive customization of each step with controls for volume, panning, and pitch shifting. The Hits instrument features 80 unique whoosh effects and percussive hits, all crafted from live string manipulations, and employs a 4-layer engine for creating complex sound combinations. Each layer allows for detailed control over attack, release, filtering, and pitch shifting.

The Risers instrument takes advantage of a 3-layer engine, featuring manipulated string sources designed to stretch to your project tempo. Each layer can be customized with attack and release controls, as well as pitch shifting options. All sources are recorded at 24-bit, 48k quality, ensuring high fidelity for your compositions. The interface supports randomization at both the instrument and layer levels, providing instant inspiration and creative flexibility.

With its focus on tension and horror, Unstrung 2 is well-suited for scoring film and media that require a visceral and unsettling atmosphere. The extensive sound design capabilities allow for the creation of unique textures and rhythms that can enhance the emotional impact of your projects.
