Note: I have "begun" work on SFZ mappings for Tape Series Two.
Tape Series Two is a much more detailed set of kits compared to Tape Series One. One omission, however, is pedal control of the hi-hat position, which is a shame, considering that there is big improvement in the number of pedal positions sampled. Rather than editing the Kontakt mapping -- something only a masochist really wants to do -- I wrote a short KSP script that can be added to each kit. If you need help doing this, please ask on the Analogue Drums Forums.
on note
if ($EVENT_NOTE = 42)
select (%CC[4])
case 0 to 31
change_note($EVENT_ID, 67) { open }
case 32 to 63
change_note($EVENT_ID, 66) { semi-open }
case 64 to 95
change_note($EVENT_ID, 65) { loose }
case 96 to 126
change_note($EVENT_ID, 64) { closed }
case 127
change_note($EVENT_ID, 62) { tight }
end select
end if
end on
With this script in place, I then created a kit layout for my TrapKAT 3.1 (MIDI SysEx file).
Analogue Drums have an interesting approach to sampling -- they record to analogue tape. You can read all about them on their website.
I liked the first kit here so much I've bought everything they'd produced! If you like the Analogue Drums' Kontakt mappings, read no further. However, if you want a Kontakt mapping that follows the NDK layout, this page is for you. (If you want SFZ mappings in the same vein, I can direct you over here.)
So here we are. The first kit is their free, "Big Mono" kit. Have a read, listen to the demos. Then download it and try it out!
Big Mono ndk.nki (40KB)
I can't tell you much about this kit -- I have not yet had the chance to play it! It sounded nice on the demos and when I was doing the mapping, so I am looking forward to it! I am providing a 7-Zip archive containing two NKI files (close and room) and an NKM of the two together.
Popsticks ndk.7z (134KB)
There won't be any more Kontakt mappings in NDK layout, as I decided it was easier simply to create mappings for my TrapKAT.
All the mappings on this page are derived works of original Kontakt mappings supplied by Analogue Drums.
