TROUBLESHOOTING KONTAKT:

OVERVIEW
The heart of Insolidus is 40 males and 25 females hand-picked by master conductor Petr Polonanik. The sessions took
place over several weeks and with a completely new approach to sampling, which allows it to be completely fluent and
effortless to work with. We spared no expense and the end result is over 89GB of choral material losslessly compressed
to 37GB.
Insolidus contains an advanced phrase-builder offering you the ability to create up to 64 strings of syllables.
Insolidus contains 8 microphone positions (Mix, Decca, Far, Wide and Spot 1-4) and over 37.600 samples. The library
revolves around a deep set of meticulously sampled articulations. It comes with an advanced phrase-builder that allows
you to create completely realistic choral phrases. The intuitive phrase-builder offers you the ability to create long strings
of words with up to 64 slots.
Our CHAOS engine has also been added to multiply the textures and possibilities this library has to offer.
We hope you enjoy using this library as much as we enjoyed making for you.

KEY MAPPING
The YELLOW keys (Available on the Multi Vowels MW patch) toggle between real slow and fast articulations.
The BLUE keys represent the playable range.
The RED keys are keyswitches to control the Articulations directly from the Keyboard.
CHAOS ENGINE
The Effects page consists of multiple rack effects.
To scroll through the available effects you can use
the scroll bar on the far right. To auto scroll up
and down you can click on the bottom left / right,
top / left right or middle left / right, this will auto
scroll to the appropriate position.
EQ controls a 3 band Equaliser, we have included a handful of useful presets to help you in sculpting your sound. We also have
included a CHAOS control, this allows you to randomise every value, which is extremely useful for carving out new and interesting
sounds.
The Settings page consists of a few vital controls to help control the CHAOS switch. Such as MOTION, which constantly randomises
and animates every relevant parameter. RANGE which alters the amount of randomisation under both MOTION and CHAOS. And the
CHAOS / FLOW switch which changes the type of randomisation available. CHAOS is purely random based on a value below your
current settings and the RANGE, whereas FLOW analyses and adjusts your current settings depending on your RANGE allowing you
to have a more subtle evolution of randomisation.

The Settings page consists of a few vital controls to help control the gate. Such as MOTION, which randomises the gate at the end of
each sequence, and ON NOTE which will restart the sequence upon every new note played.
DELAY consists of 2 sequential delays, this allows you to build complex rhythms and sequences by simply using different time
values. Each delay has a wet MIX parameter, a tempo synced TIME control, and FEEDBACK and PAN controls to help control the style
and power of the delay. We also went a step further, and added a a LOW and HIGH PASS filter to the end of the chain, this allows
you to filter out certain frequencies only in the feedback of the delay ensuring it doesn’t conflict with your main sound.
And, you guessed it, we included a CHAOS control, so you are able to randomise every relevant parameter, creating some truly
amazing delay patterns. Both delays and the filters also work intelligently, meaning if you are not using them or they are set to a
minimal value, they will bypass themselves in order to save your CPU load.
TRANSFORM contains a powerful impulse convolution with some truly strange and wonderful presets. To change what convolution
is loaded, simply select the preset dropdown menu, and load any of our hand designed impulse responses. From fog horns, to car
crashes, engine revs to world ending drones, we have included a handful of our favourite custom recorded and designed presets. If
you are feeling indecisive, you can also select the CHAOS control, which will randomly assign a preset for you, as well as alter the
available controls for some truly esoteric results. The included controls can help you further shape the convolution, such as MIX
which alters the wet value of the insert, SIZE which stretches or compresses the impulse, PRE-DELAY which adds a small delay
before the impulse is triggered, and of course a HIGH and LOW PASS FILTER, which allows you to shape the frequency of the
impulse convolution layer.
