What is BOTTLENECK?
A set of 3 glass wine bottles which have been meticulously recorded, pitch shifted, and turned into 7 multisampled kontakt instruments. Surprisingly, this library is geared toward building cinematic tension / suspense in sci fi, quirky, or horror related projects. Much like the Dryer Drum of Death, there is an included delay complete with built in step sequencer, as well as an arpeggiator in 3 of the instruments. Both of which TEMPO SYNC to your host.

7 Kontakt Instruments included with BOTTLENECK:
Bottleneck_Full.nki
Load this patch first. This is the main patch of the library and has various multisampled low, medium, and high tone hits. All are psuedo tuned.
Bottleneck_Gamelan.nki
A set of samples taken from one bottle which have been spread across the entire keyboard. Tonally, this resembles a gamelan.
Bottleneck_Gamelan_Low.nki
Same as above, but the samples have been pitch shifted to a lower register.
Bottleneck_Gamelan_XtraLow.nki
Same as above, but the samples have been pitch shifted to an even lower register. There's some real nice low end going on here for some subtle creepiness.
Bottleneck_InstantTension_A.nki
Bottleneck_InstantTension_B.nki
Bottleneck_InstantTension_C.nki
This is where things get really fun. These 3 patches are meant to build tension right out of the box and utilize a delay and an arpeggiator.. both of which are tempo synced. Be sure to play with the arp settings, the initial load up on each of these instrumentsis just to give you an idea of what it can sound like. The possibilities are endless.
