Audiofier has announced the release of Vesper for Kontakt 5.5, the first installment of their Randomisers Series.
Vesper is a double engine themed ROMpler, geared towards "bells and twinkly things" type of sounds. But it features a randomiser engine, a twin step sequencer and a "Trails layer" which is designed to add motion to each patch.
Vesper comes with 135 sound sources loadable in 2 different slots, plus 20 Trails. Each sound source is multisampled and comes with 3 round robins.
Audiofier's new "intelligent" Randomiser feature is designed to create new sounds quickly. It possible to recall past randomisations and go back and forth in the randomisation history, also recalling past randomistation on the fly. Vesper offers the possibility to create patches from scratch, with multiple ways of choosing sound sources, including a categorised Sound Browser, which works hand in hand with the randomisation engine to quickly create sounds.
Vesper gives the option to reverse sounds on the fly and to adjust the length of each reversed sound by setting the start point with the mod wheel.
In Vesper the user can play both sound sources at once (Single map Mode), one per key zone (Dual Map Mode) or randomly (Random Map Mode), creating interesting changing textures. This both while in Normal Mode or Step Sequencer Mode. The keyboard zones can be defined by the user.
Permanent random generated sequences and Temporary random sequences spice up stale and repetitive phrases.
