Feedback Drones

We purposely turned up the volume to create and capture feedback. We also experimented with live musicians playing along with the feedback. These captures were then manipulated, processed & tweaked in our signature style. What resulted is a library that defies simple categorization. We have organized this madness into Drones, Pads, Leads, Basses & Rhythmic Pulses.

For Kontakt 5.8.1 or higher (Kontakt Player not supported)

Defying categorization

Feedback Drones is a powerful, dynamic and inspiring library that will blow you away. No matter the type of music you make be it cinematic scoring, sci-fi, horror, ambient, suspense new age, pop, trailer work, dance music, beats and beyond, we strongly believe you’ll find a wide range of ways to use Feedback Drones for your music creation.

What does an ocarina, male vocals, 1960’s organ, trumpet, wine glasses, wind chimes, out of tune piano, and a trombone have in common?

Feedback.

These feedback drones are one to two minutes long and are available in their full length in the included WAV pack as well as the drone category of Kontakt patches. In addition, many of the drone patches feature extra control to move from one drone to another via the mod wheel. This gives you lots of creative choices & ways to sculpt the sound. From these drones we honed in on different start points along the way to highlight the musical performances and motives from the manipulated musical additions. The drones also were a starting point to create melodic leads, plucky keys, synth sounding basses, engine produced rhythmic phrases and a plethora of amazing sounding pads.

Hear the results

• The library is versatile and can find a happy home in all genres with a euro rack modular and classic synth sound.

• As we programmed the library we were so surprised that hidden inside of the longer drones were so many amazing synth like sounds. 

The pads, leads, basses and rhythmic pulses work great for cinematic, sci-fi, drama, ambient, pop and horror scoring.

The recording and sampling process

Microphones were set up in our acoustically treated studio to record the output of the feedback while also recording various instruments in real time that were captured along with the feedback.  These feedback moments were then manipulated, chopped up, effects added, reversed, pitched, etc to create unique soundscapes.  Various combinations of the feedback were combined to create bigger moments as well as retaining some of the smaller simpler feedback drones.  These various combinations are all represented in the library giving you a lot of control and choice.

Feedback Drones Testimonials

Kevin Blumenfeld

“This library is like the BLT of sample libraries. Never a bad time for a BLT. It goes with everything and makes everyone happy. I absolutely love how much variety you get here. The drones have a surprisingly awesome mix depth along with a diverse range. The leads are so much fun to play with and they can sit well in just about any soundscape. There’s honestly something for everything.”

Craig Dobbin

“When I buy a new library I usually hope to find one or two sounds that I can add to the arsenal. With Feedback Drones, I want to add them all! Almost every patch I opened inspired an idea and I have barely scratched the surface of what this library is capable of! Will definitely be putting this to use right away.”

Happy Accidents

“As I was recording one day I left the studio monitors on and as I was listening to that feedback I decided to turn up and down my control room volume and see if I could control the sound.  I was able to get it to ebb and flow a bit and it was amazing how the feedback truly sounded like a little musical being.  A little beast that needed to be tamed and reined in a bit.  This feedback was pure and raw but also had some gritty vibes.  Because it wasn’t coming from guitar amps or a noisy room I was able to capture it purely.

Feedback Drones is truly a sample library brought about from happy accidents.  But more than that, it came about from being intentional ABOUT the happy accidents.  Being open to the paths in front of you and embracing the unknown and unexpected.”
