Riot Audio releases FREE Bowed Glass Clouds

Sample library developing newcomer Riot Audio just released their new, free sample library BOWED GLASS CLOUDS. Bowed Glass Clouds is a virtual instrument powered by Native Instruments’ KONTAKT.

OVERVIEW

The libary’s morphing pads and evolving cinematic textures are created from processed recordings of bowed glass bowls, jars, resonator guitars and even a household hoover.

Bowed Glass Clouds makes use of KONTAKT’s AET Filter technology to seamlessly morph between layers of sound, both tonal and non-tonal. The instrument has a simple GUI allowing for controls for layer morphing (A-B) as well as the adjustment of the balance between these layers. Other controls include distortion, Bandpass filter, delay and reverb as well as a three-band parametric EQ.
