To get you started, each Performer instrument provides eight or so snapshots which group together articulations of a certain type - for example, shorts, sustains, swells & crescendos, etc. Any of these articulations can be loaded into one of eight keyswitchable slots on the interface, so you can switch between eight different sounds on the fly. There are eight Performer instruments, labelled Traditional, Hybrid, Damaged, Soundscapes, Traditional Pedals, Hybrid Pedals, Damaged Pedals and Damaged Guitars, each housing between 16 and 30 full‑range sources (aka articulations). Symphonic Destruction (SD for short) contains three main instrument types, the simplest of which is the ‘Performer’. Containing over 11,000 samples, 235 snapshots and 11 NKIs, the library (16.2GB installed) requires Kontakt or the free Kontakt Player, version 6.6.1 or later.Īudio titled Heavyocity Symphonic Destruction Library Structure The project spanned roughly two years from the start of recording to the ensuing processing, sound‑design and mastering phases.
