Click Click Bang

An experimental firearm SFX & Sound-Design library built for Kontakt 

Click Click Bang! is a hybrid sound-effect and percussion instrument designed for sound designers, experimental musicians, and music producers. Originating from Soundiron's M1 Garand Rifle library, it incorporates foley from 7 pistols, 4 revolvers, and 7 long guns, offering a variety of firearm handling, loading, cocking and firing SFX, in both indoor and outdoor environments, from clicky and chunky snaps, to buttstock impacts and rifle round ricochets, to jingling brass bounces and huge shotgun booms. Soundiron have also added new sound-designed tonal atmospheric content to stretch the creative possibilities even further.

This unique library combines the musical playability and hands-on control of a virtual instrument with the accessibility and flexibility of a classic professional-grade sound effect library. And as always, each sound effect category has been explored in great depth, to provide an organic, non-repetitive and lifelike result that is especially ideal for video game sound design and film audio post production, or for use in more unorthodox applications, such as concert percussion. While the sounds are authentic and specific to their source for those doing period work, they can easily be manipulated and employed in any number of other ways. You can also directly access all the individual sound-effect wav files in well-organized directories, for classic use in sound design and foley mixing.

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.

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. The customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. Soundiron have 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 a modular FX rack panel, with 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8 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 favorite 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. The Soundiron team have added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
