Shredder KONTAKT [FREE]
02/04/2024 | KONTAKT | 924 MB
Presenting Impact Soundworks’ newest masterpiece: Shredder, the premier virtual instrument devoted exclusively to shredding.
Shred everything from paper to cardboard to epically long receipts to actual cheese to guitar picks and strings—and more—then alter the sound with easy-to-use knobs to create a surprising range of sounds and effects.
16 shredded sound sources – Not just obvious choices like guitar picks, guitar strings, CDs, and cheese; also includes cardboard, paper, various envelopes, and the longest receipt in the known universe.
Details
If there is anyone in the sample library world who understands shredding, it’s Impact Soundworks.
From Shreddage 1, to Shreddage X, to Shreddage 2, to Shreddage 3, and now even Shreddage 3.5, we’d like to think we’ve become something of an authority on sample libraries that shred. But how do we take it further? When we imagine the future of shredding, where else can we go?
The answer came to us — as it often does — directly from many of you! People kept asking for more and more, not just about Shreddage but also about something called “Shredder” — and who are we to deny the people what they want?
Rest assured that we have sampled this library to our usual obsessive depth. We tested three individual shredder machines to identify just the right sound. Compared to the two behemoths we expected to win out, this small but mighty vintage Staples Mailmate blew us away. Now, we put the powerful screeches and impressive shredding capacity of a killer shredder at your disposal.
Shredder is as easy-to-use as they come. We wanted nothing to stand in the way of you and infinite shredding goodness. Eight intuitive knobs let you select your sound source (see below), turn up the Multishred for up to three concurrent virtual shredders, change the mic position, and alter the tone, distortion, pulse, and reverb.
We hope you enjoy Shredder, and we look forward to continuing to shred with you for years to come.
Shreddable Objects
Choose your sound source, from the typical to the outlandish. Do you go with classic paper, and if so, what thickness? What about cardboard? What about a real CD shredded to slivers of silvery plastic? What about shredded cheese? (How do we classify that, anyway? Shredded cheese is common, but shredding cheese in a paper shredder seems less so. Nevertheless, we did it. And now you can, too.) They say that guitars shred, but have you ever tried shredding a guitar? We have. Or at least guitar picks and guitar strings, which is almost the same thing, really. Again, that power is now in your hands.
