Oops! All Cowbell

About

Golly, how’d that happen?! We accidentally recorded a gigantic library of cowbells at a grand historic concert hall! Somehow it ended up with a variety of articulations for 8 different cowbells from huge to tiny, plus 8 woodblock sizes, a Meinl Galaxy, Liquid Triangle and a Flexatone. It’s got 42 well-balanced articulations, all with extensive dynamic detail and variation. It also comes packed with a variety of sustaining rolls and a bank of playful Flexatone cinematic/comic effects. It even comes in 4 delicious microphone flavors: Close, Vintage, Stage Overheads and Hall Blend! Sometimes, you just gotta have more! We also tripped (hard) and inadvertently sound-designed a creative selection of 32 ambient leads and pads from the raw acoustic source - a Soundiron specialty! Then we went ahead and built it into our intuitive 4-layer instrument interface for both Kontakt (full version) and the free Decent Sampler. It’s even got open-source SFZ presets for the harcore technie nerds (like us)! We’d say April Fools, but somehow we actually made this thing, it’s dirt-cheap and it really freakin’ rocks! This one’s 100% Soundiron fortified! Buy a box of Oops! All Cowbell today!

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more. This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance. The interface is rounded-out by our modular FX rack panel, with 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
