Strong Mocha Review: 5 out of 5

Randomiser Series (Abstrung, Aerkord, Vesper) is a carefully curated combination of three Kontakt instruments for modern producers and composers. Features such as the Randomiser function make it incredibly easy to create new sounds quickly, and the now available Kontakt snapshots. You can dive deep into this library or simply create amazing tracks. The new engine is adjustable to support both approaches.

SampleLibraryReview

With their latest release, Audiofier offers an affordable entry point into the interesting and extensive world of unique hybrid sounds. For anyone diving into the world of hybrid scoring, Abstrung is a no-brainer.

=================

RANDOMISERS SERIES is a themed sample library collection for modern producers and composers.

It includes recordings of real, modelled, synthesised and designed instruments, resulting in an original palette of inspiring sounds for creators of electronic and organic music.

The 1.2 Engine has two multisample, 3 Round Robins Sound Sources, a Twin Step Sequencer, an Arpeggiator (and yes, they work in tandem!), Step Effects, Trails Layer, a Sequence Midi Drag & Drop function, a Crystal Generator and the distinctive intelligent Randomisation function, which makes it possible to generate fresh and useful sounds every time.

On-the-Fly Reverseable sounds

Reverse sounds on the fly. Adjust the sample start of reversed sounds with the mod wheel.

Mutate Sounds

Mutate your sound layers with 180+ effects included in each of the two new Convolvers.

3 Play modes

Play both sound sources at once (Single map Mode), one per key zone (Dual Map Mode) or randomly (Random Map Mode), creating interesting shifting textures.

Randomisation Power

Audiofier’s new “intelligent” Randomiser function makes it incredibly easy to create new sounds quickly and makes presets unnecessary. Sounds can be fully randomised or within one or a mix of two of the 5 available sound categories.

It is also possible to recall previous randomisations and move back and forth in the randomisation history, also recalling previous randomisations on the fly.

Fully customisable

Create patches from scratch, with multiple ways to choose sound sources, including a categorised Sound Browser, which works hand in hand with the randomisation engine to create sounds that are “just right”.

Crystals Generator

Generate special delay lines that can be pitched and harmonised in triads, fifths, suspended or random for totally inspiring sound creation! Filter and blur Crystals with the Cloud filter. Grains can be more or less pronounced to taste. Finish them off with distortion, phaser and an extra delay.

Split personality

Play one or both sound sources per zone with one or two sequencers running. Play pads and sequences at the same time or in split mode. Assign Crystals below or above the customisable split point. And more…

Step & MasterEffects

Add movement and filtering to pads and sequences with four step-sequencable effects: Filter Cut off and Resonance, Distortion & Formant Filter.

Add the final details to your sound with Convolution Reverb, two delays, Chorus, Shine and Lo-Fi effects.

Twin Step Sequencer.

Use two simultaneous step sequencers with 8 memory slots, switch sequences on the fly via keyswitch. Record your sequences by playing, not by drawing.

Spice up your Sequences

Generate random sequences and “improvise” temporary sequences using a “keyswitch” to spice up some boring, repetitive phrases.

Export your sequences as Midi

Randomisers Series 1.2 includes a System page that provides access to the Midi Drag & Drop function. Generate sequence performances, export them to your DAW and edit them or assign third-party sounds to them.

Arpeggiator fun

Arpeggiate short sounds or trigger sequences with the arpeggiator (yes, you can!). Play sequencers and arpeggiator in series or in parallel with 2 different sounds.

Requires NI Kontakt 5.5, does not work with Kontakt Player.
