Murst Instruments: Instrument Bundle

Murst Instruments develop tools that are inspiring and immediate, that blend acoustic and electronic sound sources with a flexible and intuitive approach. Inspired by the works of Tim Hecker, Curtis Roads, Max Richter, Ben Salisbury and Amon Tobin.

This instrument bundle provides you with full access to Murst's complete instrument range: Stone, Glass, and Legato Cello, all neatly packaged in one convenient bundle.

Glass

Explore a world of undulating and evolving looped textures in 4 instruments. Each instrument comprises of 16 selectable sound sources – analogue basses and pads, studio recorded acoustic strings and woodwinds, deep modular synths and granular processed sound design

Instruments

• Swell captures and accentuates acoustic instrumentation with long evolving forms
• Tape delves into analog tape and delay processing through a Uher monitor and Roland Space Echo
• Resonance imitates the vibrating and resonant nature of abstract objects such as tubes, drum skins and strings
• Glitch utilises weird and wonderful mangling instruments to re-define the nature of acoustic and digtal waveforms

Features

• 40 preset snaphots
• An array of effects to warp and expand the sound sources
• Front panel control over the more immediate aspects - volume, envelopes, fx sends
• Layered keyboard to simultaneously play all 4 banks
• Buttons to reveal further modulation controls for the filters

Stone

A collection of 16 instruments grouped together by texture and timbre, lovingly recorded and processed to eke out unique qualities. Aimed at film, media and theatre composers, the tool-sets featured in Stone are immediate to use and experiment with.

The 4 layered banks in Stone are akin to a composer toolkit that is immediate to use and adapt. Sculpting the sound with the built in effects processing allows you to add character or create something more experimental. 

Banks

• Oscillate - a collection of deep analogue basses sampled from vintage and modular synthesizers processed through a germanium fuzz
• Pivot - sustained Cello bow, unstructured Cello phrases, granular Cello and Organ fuzz. Recorded close mic for an intimate capture of the bow texture and body resonance
• Fluctuate - features hammer, mallets and plucked sounds processed on a Uher tape machine
• Grain - completes the sonic layering with a quirky selection of noise/recorded samples for depth in your sound design

Features

• 20 preset snaphots
• An array of effects to warp and expand the sound sources
• Front panel control over the more immediate aspects - volume, envelopes, fx sends
• Split keyboard across the 4 banks
• Buttons to reveal further modulation controls for the filters

Legato Cello

This library is a legato, monophonic version of the Cello featured in the Pivot bank of Stone. It focuses on the articulation and expression of a solo Cello. The recording was made with one very close mic and one room mic, capturing a lovely bow texture and resonance from the body of the Cello. The instrument features three velocity layers and scripted vibrato to add articulation

Features

• An array of effects to warp and expand the sound sources
• Front panel control over the more immediate aspects - volume, envelopes, fx sends
• 2 octaves of monophonic Cello sustains
• Buttons to reveal further modulation controls for the filters
