Space Age Vibraphone - Shimmering Textures, Ethereal Effects,
and Dynamic Percussive Energy

Overview

  • VIBES MODE | Replicates authentic vibraphone techniques with realistic handling of dampened and sustained notes via the sustain pedal (including after-pedaling). Ideal for users with dedicated mallet controllers (ie Pearl MalletStation)
  • KEYBOARD MODE | Performance patch designed for ease of playability with a keyboard controller, while maintaining authentic vibraphonistic articulations and behavior
  • SUSTAIN | Single articulation of samples recorded with the sustain pedal down for the full natural decay of sustained notes
  • SHORT | Single articulation of samples played with the sustain pedal up, for the full natural decay of dampened notes (decay time is user-controllable via they ADVANCED tab)
  • BLUR MODE | Automatic sustain control and note-dampening for melodic playing, blurred runs, arpeggios, and glissandi
  • DYNAMIC ROLLS | Designed primarily for playing rolls on a single note, (although multiple notes can be played simultaneously, if desired)
  • DYNAMIC TREMOLOS | Designed primarily for playing tremolos alternating between 2 to 4 different notes (although single-note tremolos can also be played)

Blur Mode

Blur Mode provides automatic sustain control and note-dampening for melodic playing, blurred runs, arpeggios, and glissandi. 

Easily add coloristic textures and effects while minimizing undesirable build up of sustained notes that can obscure your harmonies and take up too much sonic space within an orchestration. 

User-controllable behavior and 4 blur types, allow you to tailor the results to your music and help maintain harmonic clarity within your arrangement.

Dynamic Rolls and Tremolos

The dynamic rolls and tremolos enable performance of single and multi-note tremolos with freely variable dynamics and tremolo rates (faster/slower strokes).

You can create crescendos and diminuendos without hearing any static roll samples cross-fading, as each stroke in the performance is played live using the instrument’s custom tremolo script.
