Spitfire Audio Contemporary Drama Toolkit
Spitfire Audio has announced availability of the collaborating Contemporary Drama Toolkit sample library .
Contemporary Drama Toolkit is a broadcast-ready sound set , expertly curated and produced by award-winning composer Samuel Sim and Spitfire ’ s team of composers , to help users score to picture without the theory and without compromising on emotion . Wit 72 individual instrument patches and 44 combinations , it ’ s designed to let users focus on the music instead of software menus .
Much like the prior British Drama Toolkit , CDT ’ s sound palette is thoughtfully curated , originating from creative blending of its source material — mellow chorus tones of a Juno 6 , iconic MS – 20 textures , vocalisations , and inspiring lead lines performed on guitar , electric cello , and electric violin — all processed via an array of analog effects , vintage pedals , and Eurorack modules . Everything from whispered textures and bold melodies blossom from the simplest variance in playing , unlocking a world of sound in every patch .
