Marimba Clusters
One holiday weekend, my band director brother and I brought some microphones, an interface, and a bunch of guitar pedals to his school. Over the next 12-14 hours we played octave clusters on a marimba, vibraphone, and piano. The microphones went through Meris 440 preamps, which allowed us to patch in various stereo guitar effects and capture wonderful textures. After lots of additional processing in the box with various delay & reverb plugins, we ended up with lots of wonderful granular pads.
Marimba Clusters are all the processed marimba pads, with additional controls for Attack, Release, Low Pass Filter, High Pass Filter and additional processing through tape saturation/delay, Analog Delay, Hall Reverb, and Diffusion Delay. Select the various original processed samples from the dropdown or select random to have Kontakt cycle each sample randomly with each keystroke.
