PLASTIQUE
REFERENCE MANUAL AD25
Introduction
Plastique
is a hard hitting rock kit with tone and punch for miles. This kit will drive a classic rock
track with authority and add flavour to fusion and pop pieces.
The kit itself is a vintage 1970s Ludwig Vistalite in Bonham-esque configuration and tuning,
including two vintage Ludwig Supraphonic snares and Paiste 2002 cymbals. The kit was sampled
in the big room at the since-closed York Street Studio with plenty of character imparting an
expansive sound on these samples. As usual we've used nothing but the finest gear to capture the
kit, including Neumann mics, a vintage Neve desk, API and Chandler preamps and a roll of 2"
tape.
The Plastique sample library consists of
1614
discrete sample files, including three separate mic
layers: close mics, overheads, room mics, each independently controllable.
The samples have been mapped and scripted primarily for use with Kontakt sampler, Trigger, or
you can use the wav files directly for sound replacement or mapping into another sampler.
