Hurum Pad
A low voice pad
ByEgor Kurdello
The story
Here is a PAD made from my voice (I’ve got a very low voice so it was a real fun to produce a five-minute sample instrument out of several noises I’ve made into a mic).
Reviews
Abrasive and organic
The lower register plus long release is likely to be my favourite use for this interesting vocal /alien texture. Definitely usable as a texture under something else.
This is some gnarly stuff
A brilliant way of taking a source sound and completely transforming it. I combined this with a bass synth and faded it in to add a unique bit of spice to the overall sound and it worked really well!
Interesting sounds, confusing keybed
Even exploring this instrument is quite confusing honestly. You really need to take the time and become familiar with it, because it is "separated" into zones that offer different sound signatures, while staying at around the same "note" range. Some zones are 5 notes long, some others are more than an octave. One solution to that would be coloured keys in a Kontakt patch. If you manage to deal with that, you will get a lots of great and nicely recorded sounds to play with.
