Void & Vista announces availability of Frames as sample-based Kontakt instrument

Void & Vista has announced availability of Frames as its latest virtual instrument for contemporary music creation - crafted for Native Instruments’ Kontakt platform, pairing sampling with a range of sound design features and an interface suitable for media composers, production music writers, and sound designers, as well as also expanding the toolbox of artists and producers across multiple genres.

Being built around forty sound sources, Frames represents a bespoke collection of specially curated samples created using prepared instruments, resonated sound objects, and aleatoric performances using experimental techniques. These are all recorded at 96 kHz using specialist microphones to capture sound beyond the range of human hearing, ready to pitch down and explore.

Such sound sources are split into five categories: Instruments - traditional instruments captured using extended techniques and aleatoric performances; Objects - uniquely prepared objects and instruments played in experimental ways; Effected - heavily effected, processed sounds, and resonated objects; Textures - tonal, textural, and found sounds suitable for blending; and Waves - sampled synth waveforms taken from an analogue hardware collection.

The new Zone Shift feature expands the timbres of each sound source, enabling immediate dynamic exploration of the movement and detail found within them. Thanks to shifting samples from different registers, sounds can shift from slow and muted to frantic and urgent.

Those forty sound sources can be layered, sculpted, and effected using the deep two-layer sound design engine, featuring multimode Filters; two Motion LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators); six Envelopes; LoFi effects; an Ensemble page for blending additional voices; parallel Character insert effects; and dedicated Space send effects. All of this is available from an intuitive interface.
