The presets have been crafted in such a way that we would I think be somewhat missing the point by radically altering them too much, or attempting to play the presets like a more traditional keys library.Įach one has been carefully cu rated to playout it’s evolving nature over a period of time, with the aid of your trusty sustain pedal. The reasoning I concluded, was that Subversion is not really intended to be an in depth from the ground up sound design tool, despite my natural propensity for it to be one. However after reading the manual (yes I do always eventually read the manual!), it seems that we are pretty much on an equal footing with our sighted peers. Upon first examination, there were for me, some obvious parameters that I would have expected to find within a library of this type, such as ADSR, Sample Offset, LFO or other various Modulation controls. Page Three – High Pass, Low Pass, Saturation Knob 4 to 8 – Instrumentation variable throughout all presets Page One – Layers Volume Levels(exact instrumentation varies across presets) KOMPLETE KONTROL PLUG-IN EDIT NKS PARAMETER MAPPING Once installation is finished, just load up your DAW with an instance of Komplete Kontrol and Subversion will almost immediately be ready and waiting for you to explore. I was pleased to see that Dark Force Audio have opted to license Subversion through Native Access, meaning that the authorisation, download & installation is a simple process, and can all be performed through the single application, making things very easy and accessible for us. ![]() I do not object to this at all, as it means that we can easily load the presets into Kontakt outside of Komplete Kontrol, and have access to whatever parameters have been enabled for host automation, without the difficulties for us of loading snapshots. The installed library will occupy 18.6GB of disk space after compression to the NCW format, and has been Recorded in 24bit/48kHz quality.ĭark Force Audio have opted to use the Kontakt NKI preset format rather than going for the single master NKI and snapshots approach. ![]() Subversion runs in Kontakt 6.7.1, either the full version or the free Kontakt player equivalent, and is compatible with Komplete Kontrol and NKS. ![]() ![]() Equally the presets are robust and interesting enough to carry a cue on their own without further embellishment if so desired. Subversion offers composers the opportunity to quickly lay down a rich and atmospheric sound bed to which further instrumentation could be added. Tarek has an ever growing biography of credits, however he also wanted to extend his sound design skills into the realm of commercial sample library production, which will serve to put his talents into products which immediately work for the contemporary media creative. The mastermind behind Dark Force Audio is Tarek Mansur, who is now somewhat of a seasoned veteran in the art of both film score and trailer composition. It is probably fair to say that Subversion is aimed (although not exclusively) at the cinematic, trailer, game & media composer, and in this respect it certainly hits the ground running with a spectacular and dynamic score ready collection of sound designed presets, which can pretty much work straight out of the box as instant cue ready sounds. We are always keen to shine a spotlight on new developers, and given this, Subversion is the subject of this review, it being the debut sample library release for Dark Force Audio.
