Walkthrough | Fine Mallets

Hi, I'm Chris from Cinematic Instruments and today I'd like to give you a quick overview of what the Fine Mellotts package is. This package consists of three contact pads, of which the first is a vibraphone, the second is a marimba, and the third is. a collection of smaller decks, you already heard the ship articulation in the intro, so now let's switch to normal decks. I'll leave the chorus out because I think it adds a lot to the sound and what I'm doing next. little demonstration is that I will use the modulation wheel to change the speed of the motor that drives the cleaning phone.

Let's see this. The third joint that I would like to show you is the prepared joint. It actually contains five separate articulations for Well, every little thing that we put on the vibraphone to make it sound different, but what you can also do is assign certain objects to certain keys and you can also randomize them, so if you click on randomize a different combination of samples. for each set, those are the joints for you. One thing I would also like to demonstrate is the tremolo function. What the tremolo function does is it actually plays a sample when you release the key, so you press a key, you make a sound and then when you release the key it also plays a sample, let's make it shorter, what it now does is it actually gives you it allows you to play Tremeloes very quickly and you only need like half the key process, so there are also a couple of effects where you can use some reverbs, but what I would like to do is just switch between the following instruments, which is the marimba , so that's what the Amaro should sound like.

I played it with the hardest articulation and also with the arpeggiator on, which actually means I can play a chord and we'll split into an arpeggio, so that's the hard articulation. What I would also like to show you is the smooth one with a different type of reverb, which is one of my favorites, infinite and just for For the sake of this, add an operational tail to it too, oh, that's an interesting texture with a smooth attack but very powerful. Next we have the little

mallets

, which is an instrument that actually contains five sub-instruments, the Mattel phone, the glockenspiel, the spiel, it was the kalimba and a bowl now, first of all, let me show you the spiel, which is the term German for music box.

You also have some pretty cool effects and sound color options that can be turned on or off. Let's play the normal sample for a second. Another interesting combination. for me it's playing the Masada phone and choosing the muted articulation, there are chances that the articulations on this will say check the distortion again and instead I'll turn on the reverse sampler which will just play the sample in reverse and I just wanted to play in reverse. We can also activate the reverse function, which actually doubles the sample, so one time it plays forward and the other time it plays backward.

It sounds like this, but I want it to be exactly reverse only. I need more delay or reverb, let's take a different reverb. This one, you can clearly see, is my favorite and we can also

fine

-tune the sound with this tone control, which is like an equalizer that you can use to boost certain frequencies, so for example, we can turn it down, we could hide there, thanks for listening . Be sure to check out the other tutorials as well, as I only showed you a couple of sounds that I really like, but there's a lot more to these products to check out and until next time, bye.
