Flying Hand Percussion

Une bibliothèque de percussions exceptionnelle avec plus de 40000 samples empaquetés.

Vous pouvez penser les percussions comme l'épice et le parfum qu'il vous faut incorporer à votre musique pour lui donner un goût unique, à moins que vous produisiez du style Latinos auquel cas vos percussions devront prendre le devant de la scène et déménager ... Quel que soit votre utilisation de la percussion, Handheld Sounds est allé jusqu'au bout du monde pour constituer l'une des collections de percussions les plus sérieuses du marché : "FlyingHand Percussion". Produit par le vétéran Eitan Teomi, cette collection exquise de percussions traditionnelles ou électroniques exotiques fournit une jouabilité et une qualité dont vous n'avez jusqu'ici jamais fait l'expérience. Et c'est une très bonne nouvelle pour votre musique.

This exquisite library is recorded in high fidelity with multiple mic positions, 24 bit samples, an extensive selection of articulations (styles of playing), up to 20 dynamic samples (soft to loud) per instrument, and up to 4 alternate takes per articulation. All in all, over 40,000 samples packed into 4 DVDs of pure creativity. But FlyingHand Percussion goes one big step further, something that no other percussion library does. It intelligently helps you play those tracks, makes your music sound so real you can practically taste it.

The Performance Tools:

“Legato Drumming” – FlyingHand Percussion includes a proprietary and unique technique that intelligently responds to musical phrases, inserting musical nuances and tonal variances that provide an added level of authenticity. The result sounds very much like a real percussionist when they hit the drum in a slightly different place each time or moves a hand across the drum head creating a small scraping sound, etc.

Playable Keymaps – you need to be able to play a percussion library with your own hands and have it sound real. So, all FlyingHand instruments are keymapped for playability and remain consistent throughout all instruments, which not only results in real sounding tracks, but allows for fast production. Includes custom keymappings for the Zendrum MIDI Controller.

Virtual Room Impulses – FlyingHand Percussion through the entire recording process from initial input to final mix. Included are custom made stereo and surround room and hall impulses. These are delivered in a special edition of the PsP Audioware Nitro Filterbank plugin, which is a long name for a really cool effects plugin that puts your percussion tracks exactly where you want to hear them in your mix.

(EM HOTPICK) 5/5 

" The benefit of the FHP approach is its remarkable attention to detail. It's hard to think of a hand drumming artifact or technique that has been overlooked.

FHP's keyboard mapping proved very musical, with slight performance variations adjacently arrayed and smooth velocity switches under each hit.

FHP delivers lots of sonic control, as you'd expect from a hand-precussion instrument. Transitions between velocity layers feels smooth and continuous, adding a realistic playing experience to FHP's sonic authenticity.

FlyingHand Percussion is one of the most detailed, lifelike, collections of sampled hand-percussion instruments i've found. Innovative and thoughtful application of Kontakt 2's features breathes a remarkable amount of life into performances. FHP gets my highest reccomendation..."

" These sounds possess a detailed level of tone and harmonics; handheld sound captured the personality and nuance of each drum quite well...

Through detilaed velocity layers, and the unique Legato Drumming scripting in Kontakt, these sample sets have the potential to trick the ear into thinking it's hearing the real thing. This level of control places FlyingHand up there with other high-end virtual instrument programs...

It is the first one (library) I had heard in a long time that I would seriously consider to use in my own music, both in compostion and live...From the packaging to the sampling to the playing paradigm, this is a well-crafted artisan production that simply sounds incredible..."


Virtual Instrument magazine -

" FlyingHand Percussion is just beautifuly recorded with a lot of presence from multiple mic positions and the sampling performance has a whole lot of life.

The main thing about this library is how good your parts sound as soon as you play them in, with very little tweaking.

...I was frankly stunned at how live it sounded when I sat back to listen.

The library comes beautifuly packaged in an earthy hexagonal box; this is obviously a product that took great dedication and passion to produce. That comes across right away when you use it."


Sound On Sound magazine -

"...the sounds are wonderfully responsive and recorded to the highest standards...
Some of the ensembles are really well put together, and are a gift to anyone working in the area of soundtracks to Film or TV...
There's more variation that you could wish for...the performnace really come alive as you tap the keys or drum pads."
