Dark Petals

## Features

1) Each has its own volume and cutoff knob that is controlled by its own CC#. Reverb is assigned to the Mod Wheel.

2) sounds have not been mapped to loop

3) Each knob and controller is labelled in the GUI with the correct CC#

4) Each CC# is already scripted to the correct controller within Dark Petals

## Construction of Dark Petals

I start with Dorico as my writing notes program. I create each groups set of samples (usually in Major Third) for two whole octaves starting at C1. I then use Vsts like Hybrid3, AAS’s String Studio VS-3 and Ultra Analog VA-3 to create three or more unique sounds for each group which I write as separate lines in Dorico; they are all playing unison. Then after blending them using Dorico’s mixer I end up with a rich sample. I do this for each of the groups I will add to the Kontakt instrument. Then exporting the groups created samples to Reaper. In Reaper I cut up each of the sound samples and balance them and check their LFO_I . Then export each individual sample for each group to be brought into Kontakt

### Bug fixes

First Version of this instrument

## Using the instrument
I can only speak to how I use the instrument. I like to compose music by using music notation software like Dorico. Dorico allows me to also work with CC# data and velocity, etc. So I use it for my major mixing. I load the Kontakt instrument in Dorico. Creating my CC# data directly into Dorico which feeds it to the Kontakt instrument. Dark Petals allows me to write on one musical line and using volume, pan, cutoff and reverb I can create a nuance melodic line that is rich and varied.
st and I am already working on a second.

I work within Dorico Pro where I load VST like Hybrid which I can use to create my sounds then play them in Dorico in Major thirds. I created three layers of syths for each group which I then output as 32 bit WAV files and did the final balancing and processing in Reaper.
