Soundiron Verve

Soundiron Verve revives the vintage analog sounds of the quirky Jen Brio 61-CS. This Italian combo organ was brought to market by Jen in the early 1960s.

It featured a 61-key keyboard and drum/rhythm machine with built-in speaker, as well as a variety of knobs, buttons, and faders to control layer volume, instrument type, accompaniment, and tempo.

While it was most popular for cheesy string ensemble vibrato tones, it also had synth Trombone, Trumpet, Clarinet, Oboe, Tibia, Piano, and Harpsichord presets.

Our library includes synth sustains, staccatos, and key up/down sound effects.

We recorded the instrument articulations in wide stereo and direct line-in, then created thirty evolving ambient pads and soundscapes from the source content to round out its versatility.

Verve offers a snapshot of early synthesizer history, complete with warm tonal colors equipped to compliment any genre of music.

We've packed the GUI with lots of great sound-shaping controls that give you the flexibility to warp the sound in many ways.

You have control over Volume, Attack, Release, Transient Offset, Vibrato and Octave layering. The "Glide" control slider allows you to play legato and portamento leads. You’ll also find an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time.

You can also apply your choice of 13 low-pass, high-pass, and FX filter, with assignable modulation control options, including velocity, mod wheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control.

You can also use our customizable arpeggiator, with a built-in velocity sequencer table and control over arp direction, note timing, swing, randomization and duration.

Contents

Verve was recorded in a dry studio using a pair of Neumann TLM 103 large-diaphragm microphones and direct line-in.

We recorded many stock presets with sustains, staccato, and key up/down SFX samples.

The included octave, vibrato, and FX rack give you an easy-to-use interface to completely customize and shape its fat analog sound to fit a variety of creative styles.

The library comes equipped with flexible control features, like Swell, pitch Glide, Attack, Release, Vibrato, and Octave.

There's also a complete DSP effects rack, including convolution reverb with dozens of unique spaces, such as cathedrals, churches, halls, bunkers, garages, tunnels, chambers, rooms, and plenty of otherworldly FX impulses to fully explore an endless variety of strange and unexpected sonic manipulations.

• Advanced performance controls, vibrato, glide speed, LFO, Filter, Arp, and full FX rack.
• Sustains, staccatos, magic chords, drum loops.
• Turn the Glide slider up for monophonic legato functionality, or turn it down to 0 for standard polyphonic mode.
• The Octave knob gradually adds a lower and higher octave doubling effect for more body and power.
• Convolution Reverb with 119 different cathedrals, churches, chambers, rooms, halls, and special effect impulses.
• A full multi-effects rack, with EQ, filter, phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp & speaker simulation, and more.

Kontakt Format

This library is designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later.

Kontakt is an industry-standard advanced virtual instrument software platform.

You can view screenshots of this library's custom graphical user interface in the image gallery above.

This library is packed with features to provide you with a wide range of sound shaping parameter controls, each one totally automation-ready in your host environment or Kontakt's stand-alone mode.

This is a standard Kontakt open-format library, so the free Kontakt Player does not fully support it and can only run it in a limited "demo mode".

However, the sample directories are unlocked so you can use them in other wav-compatible software, sampler and synth formats.

The special Libraries tab doesn't support this open-format Kontakt library, but you can use the standard File browser tab and import this library into the Kontakt Quickload window for easy loading and navigation.
