Introducing Pro II - The analogue hybrid synthesizer for Kontakt 4 by Wave Alchemy...
A limitless source of screaming bass lines, lush synth tones and powerful analogue sequences, Pro II by Wave Alchemy is powered by over 6500 carefully recorded multi-sampled sounds, driven by a custom scripted Kontakt 4 engine and intuitive graphical interface.
Inspired by one of the most popular synths of its time, Pro II combines classic sounds with modern sound shaping tools to achieve a versatile and fully programmable analogue hybrid synthesizer!
Pro II for Kontakt 4 ships with a 3.9GB core sound library and includes 195 expertly programmed presets, all of which are editable via our extensively scripted instrument panel and stunning GUI controls.
A full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 4 or 5 is required to use our Pro II instrument. A slimmed down version including 3.2GB of multi-sampled presets is available and optimized for users of Ableton Live, Reason and various other software.
The Pro II instrument features 5 main editing pages:
Preset Page
The preset page is able to load 138 extensively multi-sampled patches designed and recorded from a vintage Sequential Circuits Pro One synthesizer. Sounds from this page can be further edited and mixed with the Pro II's 'raw oscillators' (see below) to create interesting 'hybrid' patches.
Raw Oscillator (Synthesizer) Page
Synthesize your own sounds using the Pro II's oscillators… Raw mode boasts 2 analogue oscillators, 2 sub oscillators and 2 noise sources, all of which are individually powered by an extensive set of carefully looped waveforms recorded from a Pro One analogue synthesizer.
Sequencer Page
A comprehensive, tempo sync-able analogue style step sequencer. Each step boasts independent settings for both filter cut-off and resonance which when combined with the instruments "shuffle" (randomize) function can produce everything from subtle S+H type effects to completely insane sequences.
Effects Page
The effects page boasts a number of fully editable effects as well as specially created reverb IR's (Impulse Responses) recorded from our Eventide DSP-7000 Harmonizer.
Controls Page
The controls page gives you full control over mono/polyphonic modes, portamento, pitch bend range, 8 voice unison and keyboard velocity/curve response.

Kontakt 4 Factory Library - Choir | KONTAKT | 3.11 GB
The Choir Collection, sampled exclusively for Native Instruments, provides a complete set of soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices. Each section of the choir was split in two groups and recorded separately to provide maximum fexibility and this was put into use in the majority of the provided instruments. In addition, a signifcant amount of patches make use of the new Authentic Expression Technology giving you a new level of control: the choir voices can seamlessly morph between vowels while holding a key/note.
Here is the folder structure of the Choir Collection:
Vocal Keyswitches Patches using key switches to switch between vowels.
Vocal Morphs Patches utilizing the AET flter to morph between vowels.
Vowels Alto Patches featuring the alto section providing additional control over the two groups.
Vowels Bass Patches featuring the bass section providing additional control over the two groups.
Vowels Choir Patches featuring the whole choir providing additional control over the two groups.
Vowels Soprano Patches featuring the soprano section providing additional control over the two groups.
Vowels Tenor Patches featuring the tenor section providing additional control over the two groups.
Instrument Controls
The Sound knob morphs through preset EQ settings.
The Chord knob enables the chord function of the built-in harmonizer. You can deactivate it by turning it all the way to the left, or you can select the desired chord using any of the other options. The exact notes that are going to be triggered are relying upon the Key and Scale settings.
The Dynamic KS switch turns the dynamic key switches on or off, while the Dynamic Release and Dynamic Fade knobs control the respective parameters (for a detailed description of the key switch functionality please see section 1.4. Key Switches).
As well as using the key switches to switch through vowels, you can also select a vowel by clicking on it’s name in the Vowel menu.
The Key column can be used to remap the key switches, while the Load buttons can be used to load or unload any of the sample sets of each one of the vowels. This can be used to save memory by unloading a sample set when it is not used in a certain project.
The Level, Attack and Release knobs adjust the respective parameters of the currently
selected vowel.
The Group 2 switch activates the second group of the choir. When activated, the two groups are also slightly spread in the stereo feld.
Morph Instruments
These instruments use the all new Authentic Expression Technology flter to morph between vowels. The names of the instruments describe their vowel content:
• Choir Morph [a-e]
• Choir Morph [a-e-i-o-u]
• Choir Morph [a-i]
• Choir Morph [a-m]
• Choir Morph [a-u]
All instruments are essentially only using the “a” sound sample set, and achieve the morphing
by applying the spectral fngerprint of the other vowels to those original samples.
If you want to morph between the vowels using your mouse you can use the Morph knob.
Alternatively you can use the modulation wheel or aftertouch capabilities of your keyboard.
To control the intensity of the modulation use the Mod Wheel and Aftertouch knobs on the GUI. You can also invert the polarity of the controls using the Invert switches.
Group Mix Instruments
As previously stated, all the choir sections (bass, tenor, alto and soprano) where split into two sub groups, which were recorded separately. In the instruments of this category you have extensive control over the two groups. You can fnd those instruments in the following folders:

Orange Tree Samples - Iconic Bass Jaco | KONTAKT | Team SYNTHiC4TE | 2.7 GB
As Orange Tree Samples' most extensively sampled instrument to date, Iconic Bass™ Jaco provides incredible realism and playability. According to Orange Tree Samples founder, Greg Schlaepfer, "Iconic Bass Jaco was the most challenging bass library we've produced. As a bass player, and a huge fan of the man, I was extremely demanding in producing this library. I'm certain that the end result made it worth the effort. This library establishes a new standard for us. It has more detail and features than any of our existing libraries, including retrigger samples, multiple velocity layers, and variable release samples. It takes advantage of Kontakt’s powerful scripting engine to produce realism that would not otherwise be achievable. Even seasoned pros will not be able to tell the difference between a well played performance with Iconic Bass Jaco and a live bass player. Best of all, it's really enjoyable to play."
Jaco's famous fretless jazz bass is currently in poor shape, painstakingly glued together after it was smashed in the mid '80s. Orange Tree Samples was able to get as close as possible by using a recreation of Jaco's bass made by the same company as the original model. We meticulously recreated the fine details, such as using the identical roundwound .045 gauge strings that Jaco preferred, and sampled the bass directly from the output of the electric bass, the way Jaco typically recorded in the studio. To achieve his dynamic tone, Iconic Bass Jaco features samples taken from several different plucking positions, such as playing close to the bridge in order to obtain the growly, biting tone commonly called the "Jaco growl". And just like Jaco, who worked in jazz, pop, and rock, this library fits in many musical genres. For example, just add distortion to the "Jaco growl" and you'll find it fits perfectly in hard-hitting rock tracks. The library also includes samples with a deeper, mellower tone where the plucking hand is much closer to the neck of the bass, and fits very well in many pop and rock productions.
