These patches are great for creating beautiful, ethereal atmospheres.

Crotales, cymbals, glockenspiel, vibraphone and waterphone are also available as bowed instruments. Playing a note with the mod-wheel completely down will trigger a sparse improvised loop on that pitch start moving the mod-wheel up to gradually crossfade to the medium and finally, to the dense layer.Īs well as the Impromptu patches for Glockenspiel, Vibraphone and Crotales we have also created bonus Impromptu patches for cymbals (Chinese, 17” and 18”) and snare drum (played both with brushes and sticks): they are more experimental in nature and perhaps not as immediate to use but can lead to rather interesting sounds. We recorded 3x round robins in three different intensity layers that you can crossfade between using the central control. The centrepiece of ITP is the Impromptu Engine a system that combines loops of improvised, un-synced snippets with a granular synthesizer to create unique and unusual sounds and atmospheres. These all have an incredible organic quality.

In addition to this, a number of sound design patches using different percussions as source material are also provided.
