'The Maracas & Shakers ' by FERPECT is an All-In-One Sample Pack loaded with 105 Kontakt Presets, including 1725 Samples featuring unique shakers and maracas, carefully crafted and processed in the box and through outboard gear. Each preset is playable over two octaves and is velocity-sensitive in a musical way.
Each preset is playable over two octaves and is velocity-sensitive in a musical way. We recorded 11 shakers and 6 maracas with 5 microphones and sampled 4 different drum machines. After running them through our saturation, compression, and cleaning process, we designed an intuitive GUI with 45 knobs for an enjoyable beat-making experience.
The plugin includes clean and classic-sounding maracas and shakers and more synthetic or unusual options. We also overworked some of them to achieve a modern or aggressive sound suitable for different genres. Add extra drama by using the pitch bend in combination with the useful effects available in the intuitive GUI design, including reverb, delay, and flanger.
The mid-section of the instrument features tone-focused effects, such as a compressor, a saturation unit, a powerful overdrive/distortion section, and low and hi-pass filters. On the left side of the instrument, you can shape the total mood of the drum sound by using tune, amplitude, and pitch envelopes, managing the sample speed, and adding extra attack and punch to the drums with the transient shaper.
