Luftballon

Welcome to Soundiron's Luftballon wind, percussion and SFX library! Luftballon is a collection of classic latex rubber balloon inflation, pops, hisses, wheezes, twists, squeals, pulls, deflation flubbers, farts, screeches, scrapes, thuds, thumps, taps, snaps and other percussion, sustaining and tonal elements. Equal parts "wind", sound effect and percussion library, this library is filled to bursting with creative potential. This collection was created with the help of somewhere around 100 hundred party balloons, blown up with helium into all sorts of different shapes and sizes. Soundiron recorded each one with large-diaphragm mics placed at close proximity in a wide X-Y stereo field to capture an especially aggressive and dynamic sound.

For Luftballon 2.0, Soundiron added new FX articulations and created brand new ambiences from the source content. Soundiron also remastered the samples, added usability features with Soundiorn's modular template, and created 20 new custom FX presets to give you instant inspiration for your next film/video game score, soundtrack or music composition.

Contents

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more. Soundiron have also included 20 unique sound-designed custom FX presets to give you lots of creative options.

This library comes with 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 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Soundiron's customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. Soundiron included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.

The interface is rounded out by Soundiron's modular FX rack panel, with 18 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 10 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes Soundiron's favourite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. Soundiron added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
