The Kontakt Library

Features and Benefits

Option 3: The "Borrowed" SoundFonts

1. Source Material: Load two samples. A short, plucky acoustic piano (16-bit, downsampled to 32kHz) and a digital saw wave.
2. The Transwave Sweep: Go to the Wave Editor. Use "Reverse" and "Crossfade Loop" to create a wavetable of 8 different attack transients.
3. Modulation: Map the Mod Wheel to the "Sample Start Modulation" parameter. As you move the wheel, the sample start position moves. (This emulates the Transwave scanning).
4. Filter: Use the "Ladder (Prophet)" filter. Crank the resonance to 6dB. Envelope: Slow attack (2 seconds), no sustain.
5. The Secret Sauce: Insert the "Battery" distortion effect (low mix, 15% wet) followed by the "Retro Reels" delay. This mimics the aliasing grit of the ES-5503 OTIS chip.

• What it is: A massive Kontakt library (requires full Kontakt 5.8+) featuring over 1,500 samples of the Ensoniq TS-10 and TS-12.
• The Vibe: They preserved the Transwave sweeps. The "Morphing Pads" section is unbeatable.
• The Catch: It is no longer sold officially. You have to find second-hand license transfers or abandonware archives. If you find a copy, buy it immediately.
