QES releases AR2Fx (Altered Reality 2 Fx) for Kontakt

QESounds has announced the release of Altered Reality 2 Fx – the second installment in the ARFx series of Kontakt-compatible sound libraries.

The library is created by extensive processing of everyday sounds an instruments – transforming them into textural and transient elements to assist in the creation of ambients and atmospheres in Cinematic, Video and Gaming SoundTrack design. The library is compatible with Kontakt 2, 3, 3.5 and 4.

In comparison to the original AR1Fx, AR2Fx is darker and has many more metallic and water-based sounds – and has a greater emphasis on event/transient based sound.

AR2Fx is available in three flavors:

1. Individual downloads of single instruments / combos; 16 bit / 44.1KHz / Stereo; $8.33 each.
2. Downloads of packs / modules of three instruments / combos; 16 bit / 44.1KHz / Stereo; $24.99 each.
3. A 2-DVD set containing all instruments / combos and a separate time- / pitch-stretched instrument for about 99% of the sounds; 24-bit / 44.1KHz / Stereo; $99.95.

All three versions include scripted SoundTools, Virtual Layer Remapping scripting and an extended set of convolution presets.
