Are you ready for a dive? Warm analogue
strings, ambient textures, fat synth sounds and atmospheric
pads - this is Deepflight.
Deepflight is a Kontakt library based
on the best sounds of ROLAND D-50 synthesizer from the
late 80s.
The design goal was to develop an ergonomic user interface
to our sound library that exploits the advanced features
of Kontakt. The result is a flexible synthesizer which
offers fat and warm analogue sounds like the original
hardware, but with the comfort of the software environment.
Important: DEEPFLIGHT V2 nki patches require the full retail version of Kontakt (v5.5 or more recent version), as our products are not compatible with
the free Kontakt Player - it will stop working after 15 minutes!
Most of the patches are velocity sensitive
and they have been designed for live performers, so a
good midi keyboard which supports velocity and aftertouch
is highly recommended.
Features:
•
ergonomic user interface
•
new re-scaled faders (see pdf below for the details) for
a natural feeling
•
more than 100 custom made knobs, faders and switches to
control the most important parameters of the synth
•
customizable global MIDI implementation for 24 controllers
•
host automation for 24 controllers
•
30 different types of filters in 3 real-time switchable filter slots
•
fully editable effects: equalizer, 2 types of distortion,
delay, 2 types of reverb, comp
•
2 independent LFOs (waveforms: sine, triangle, square,
saw, random) with tempo sync option, allowing modulation
for 4 destinations: pitch, filter, volume and pan
•
extensive modulation options for external sources: velocity,
mod-wheel, channel aftertouch, random.
•
template load/save option for sound design

About the D-50
Roland D-50 was released
in 1987. This synth was Roland's response to the extremely
popular Yamaha DX-7, however it sounded totally differently
and was much easier to use. Although it's a digital synth,
it still used real analogue filters,
which disappeared in the following D series. That's why
D-50 sounds so fat and beautiful. A real all-time favourite!;-)
