Fallout Music Group – Unstrung 2

Horror effects library

Unleash the darkness with Unstrung 2 , the chilling evolution of our best-selling instrument . Bigger, meaner, and more twisted than ever, this terrifying sequel will take you deeper into the horror soundscapes. Armed with over 3x the original content, including an arsenal of breathtaking double bass samples, this library isn’t just an update. It’s a sonic nightmare waiting to happen.

Built around raw recordings of live solo strings, Unstrung 2 is your weapon of choice for unnerving tension and cinematic terror. Every thump, scrape and pinch of double bass, cello, viola, violin and even banjo (yes, banjo) adds a special edge to your compositions. With a brand new graphical interface and full support for Kontakt Player, Native Access and NKS, it’s never been easier to bend these unsettling sounds to your will. From heart-wrenching howls to eerie risers, you’ll craft unique beats and rhythms that twist, rip and slice their way into your listeners’ nightmares.

The library contains 3 different Kontakt instruments and a full set of samples in WAV format.

Rhythms

Provides you with a 16 step sequencer where each step can be loaded with a sample from one of 5 categories (and nearly 1000 distinct samples) of sounds: Knocks, Plucks, Screeches, Grindings, Dives and Ricochets. Each step can have volume, panning, length and tuning adjustments, making for infinite possibilities, and direct syncing to various time signatures in your DAW.

Hits

Provides you with 80 unique, designed whoosh effects, all made from live string manipulations, nearly 40 baseline percussive hits, and nearly 1000 one-shot samples combined in our new 4-layer engine to generate hits and impacts. Play the hit by itself or play any of the whooshes which are programmed to play the hit automatically at the end of the whoosh. Create endless combinations of hits from subtle to absolutely massive.

Our new 4-layer engine adds a special Percussion layer, which lets you select one of 39 different percussive hits as a base for your hit creations, mixing with the 3 layers of string FX sources to give you something truly special.

Risers

Unstrung 2 Risers takes our 3-layer engine to new, disturbing heights, with various manipulated/processed string riser sources, all recorded at 8 bars, 120bpm and set to stretch to your project tempo. Each layer is a hand-crafted riser made from tortured strings or synths, all heavily manipulated and designed to be weaved together into your own terrifying creations.

A new “length” menu allows you to play the generated riser at 2 bars, 4 bars, or 8 bars, all matching your DAW project tempo.

Samples in WAV format

Included in the Samples folder you will find a folder named ‘FMG Unstrung 2 24bit 48k Wavs’. If you prefer working with wav files, you will find an amazing amount of freedom here. That said, we suggest using the GUIs to randomize and create your basic starter sound. Then it is easy to manipulate and export to audio for further processing. Within this folder you will find 3 sub-folders with the following wav files:

• Designed Sounds: This folder contains dozens of sounds (hits, risers, rhythms and whoosh hits) all created by Unstrung 2 and then taken through more processing to be trailer-ready.
• Preset Exports: This folder contains a wav file export of each of the Riser and Hit presets found in the GUIs. If you want a quick start to adding additional processing to a preset you like, just grab these and jump in.
  
• Raw Sounds: In this folder you will find the individual samples used in the instruments, including the individual riser, percussion and whoosh sources.
