Origins Vol.5: Ukulele & Muted Piano

Bold & Distinct

Important note: This product requires a FULL version of Native Instruments' KONTAKT. The free Kontakt player is not sufficient, as it only runs the instrument in DEMO mode.

Discover the 5th member of the Sonuscore Origin Series, Vol.5 Ukulele & Muted Piano! Featuring a unique combination of two carefully sampled, distinct instruments, the Multi-Arpeggio-Designer (MAD) gives a wonderful performance when playing chords, melodies or progressions on your keyboard.

Play bold, grounded and wide-open sequences with the Muted Piano, add the light touch of the Ukulele, let both instruments playfully mingle, use a wide variety of effects from percussive timbres to ambient pads and more! All of this is instantly accessible via handcrafted, fully-customizable presets, in both the musical and tonal colour categories.

With a focus on user-friendliness, Origins Vol.5 Ukulele & Muted Piano gives you everything you need to start with an impressive sound palette, dig deeper and tweak the instrument to your heart's content.

The instruments

With its light, familiar tone, the Ukulele is at home in the upper ranges. Let it happily pluck away to your score, give it a percussive twist, create ambient pads or run impressive modern-sounding arpeggios with it: The possibilities are endless and usually just one preset away.

The muted piano provides an interesting scope for tonal design. Playing simple chords can lay an atmospheric groundwork for your composition, while the Multi-Arpeggio-Designer can give the instrument a characteristic, modern, sometimes futuristic feel. Paired with the Ukulele, you can achieve a new and fresh sound right on the pulse of time.

Multi-arpeggio designer

The multi-arpeggio-designer is the centrepiece of every Origins instrument. Two fully customizable arpeggiators create interlocking patterns and broad soundscapes by combining the unique timbres of the two instruments. The engine is designed to convey a musically meaningful, human performance, instead of a computer randomly aligning notes. Load up one of 100+ inspiring presets or create your own arpeggios in as much detail as you like. The MAD provides a variety of different features and controls to realize your musical vision.

Created your own ingenious arpeggio design and want to use it with another Origins product? Simply copy and paste your design to use it on the fly in any other instrument of the Origins series.

Colours menu

The 12 individual colour presets provide even more possibilities to sculpt your sound. All colours are radically different in character and incorporate various effect settings and multiple impulse responses. While each MAD-Preset has an assigned colour preset, you can combine everything at will, resulting in over 1200 predefined combinations.
