Motor Rhythms is not just a drum library; it's an inventive fusion of music and mechanics. Jordan Hill has transformed a collection of automobile parts from various makes and models into a comprehensive drum kit with unparalleled sound. This unique approach to instrument creation offers musicians and composers a fresh palette of sounds, from clangorous metallic hits to resonant percussive thumps. With 34 instruments and 85 articulations, this library provides an extensive range of sounds that challenge the boundaries of traditional music production.
Recorded with meticulous attention to detail, Motor Rhythms boasts 6,894 samples across 3.44GB of sound, ensuring every strike and resonance is captured with clarity and depth. The use of close and far microphone positions adds to the versatility of the library, allowing for intricate sound shaping and spatialization. The inclusion of deep round-robin variations and velocity layering further enhances the dynamic and expressive potential of each instrument, enabling realistic and nuanced performances.
The library's user interface is designed for both creativity and control, offering users the ability to shape the sound of each instrument to fit their musical vision. With modular kit mapping and an intelligent step-sequencing arpeggiator, Motor Rhythms encourages explorative sound design and rhythmic innovation. Independent layer settings and global linking provide granular control over attack, release, start offset, pitch, and volume, while the expansive collection of sound-designed atmospheres and synth tones derived from the raw acoustic sources offers perfect accompaniment for a wide range of musical styles.
Motor Rhythms comes fully equipped with a vast range of onboard effects, including a DSP effects rack and over a hundred convolution reverb impulses. These effects not only allow for further sound shaping but also spatialize the sounds in a variety of realistic and sound-designed spaces. From cathedrals and tunnels to creative FX impulse responses, the library provides endless possibilities for immersive soundscapes and dynamic musical expression, making it a versatile tool for composers and sound designers alike.
SoundIron Motor Rhythms is fully optimized for the free Kontakt Player and Komplete Kontrol ecosystem. This means seamless integration and full support for all Native Instruments S-Series keyboards, ensuring a smooth and intuitive experience with both hardware and software composing solutions. Whether you're composing cinematic scores or crafting intricate sound designs, SoundIron Motor Rhythms compatibility with Kontakt Player 5.6.8 offers the flexibility and power you need to bring your visions to life.
"Motor Rhythms does not only provide great sound design material, it also works great as a layering tool for beats and percussion in less cinematic tracks. Given that, it's made by SoundIron and at such a good price it's almost a no-brainer for me, so pick it up right away." - Producer Spot
"SoundIron delivers a great sounding, deep sampled drum library recorded from unique bespoke objects. Motor Rhythms spans an array of percussive timbres that will fit in a multitude of genres." - Producer Spot
