    FluffyAudio DidgHybridoo:
    Cinematic hybrid Didgeridoo for Kontakt - SPECIAL INTRO PRICE!

    DidgHybridoo features samples from the great didgeridoo player Christian Muela

    This is the first didgeridoo library ever which not relies on sampled phrases or generic uncontrollable drones.
    Since emulating a didgeridoo is at least as difficult as emulating the human voice, we’ve developed a custom
    hybrid solution which not only morphs between the different vowel samples, but enhances the vowels with the help
    of a custom formant filtering engine. So you can really make your virtual didgeridooist pronounce the different
    vowels and smoothly change between them.

    With DidgHybridoo you can design your own rhythms by customizing the 12 rhythm patterns. The VowelWheel allows
    the user to fully customize what vowels the virtual didgeridooist will sing. The patterns control how much the
    cursor moves between the Start and the End vowels, the intensity of the playing and how much the didgeridooist
    growls.

    You can alter the sound of DidgHybridoo in various ways: you can change the formant frequencies, alter one or
    more overtones, adjust the gain of a single overtone, add a resonator to enhance particular frequencies. This
    makes this instrument suitable to many sound design experiments and that’s why we added many NKI’s with morphable
    drones, didgeridoo-based soundscapes and rhythmic resonant sequences.

    The sequences can be smoothed or randomized to give more realism to the final performance.

    There are three main patches in DidgHybridoo: an ambient-filmscoring patch and two different sounding ones which
    suit the best for modern music. This instrument is really a singer in one box, so develop your own rhythms and play!

    VOWEL FILTERING ENGINE:

    [​IMG]
    At the heart of DidgHybridoo we have the VowelWheel, which displays the 5 different available vowels. You can shift
    between the vowels by moving the yellow from a Start and an End position, through the Start/End slider which can be
    assigned to a Midi CC or controlled by the rhythmic modulation table.

    RHYTHMIC MODULATION TABLE:

    [​IMG]
    DidgHybridoo features up to 12 customizable rhythmic patterns which control the cursor position between the start/end
    points, the intensity and the amount of growl sound. Patterns are assigned to keyswitches so they can be mixed together
    to create more interesting sequences.

    ADVANCED SETTINGS:

    The settings view offers many options to customize and redesign the sound of the instrument.
    Each vowel can be altered by changing the fundamental frequency of its five overtones. This is a great tool for sound
    design as shown by the drone atmospheric patches. For example, if you set the frequencies to the overtones of a single
    note you can make resonant metallic sounds. In this panel you can also control the volume of the drone, the bass part,
    the attack of the instrument and the one-shots sound.

  3. Thanks, that sounds surprisingly realistic to my ears. I have two didgeriroos but never got the hang of circular breathing. With this innovative Kontakt instrument I could actually create the sound in my head (maybe).
