Important note: The Full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8.1 or above required to run this software.
Supine delivers truly unique and inspiring sounds right out of the box. It is an ambient loop and multisample instrument module for Kontakt containing 350 different kits that can be played in tandem across four categories (Pad, Synth 1 & 2 and FX). These kits are built using the included 975 (unencrypted) 24-bit WAV files. All loops can be played polyphonically timestretched within a range of two octaves.
Supine delivers 50 beautiful-sounding synthesizer arpeggios (with minor/major velocity key-switching), 50 smooth and silk pad sounds as well as over 100 chords (minor/major switching), drones and textures. Besides the polyphonic time-stretchable loops, Supine also offers a wealth of multi-sampled ambient and acoustic instruments like brasses, wind sounds, plucks, pianos, keys and synthesizers.
Minor/Major Loop Velocity Switching
Most loop libraries that offer pre-made content are stuck to one key and / or scale. Supine shines here: It comes with loops, that can be played polyphonically time-stretched (in any key/tempo) and does also offer these as minor/major variations, switchable via velocity. That means you can create complex harmonies and chord progressions easily.
From here you can mix and match the individual loops (parts). The top LCD shows the current kit or simply “—USER—” if you’ve modified the kit or loaded a different loop. You have 4 LC-displays that show the current (loaded) loop. From there you can select different loops or let SUPINE choose new ones by clicking on the “R” buttons (randomize).
The randomize buttons have different functions depending on what key you press at the same time:
The SOLO buttons can be used to solo parts. For almost all controls you can press ALT/OPTION and adjust the value for all parts at once. CONTROL/COMMAND will reset values. SHIFT is for fine-tuning. The SPACE knobs set the amount of convolution reverb for the selected part. The FX buttons can be used to enable or disable FX sections for the parts. The SEQ buttons will enable/disable the per-part sequencer.
The EDIT page lets you set up parameters for each of the four parts. Supine features per-part loop speed control (half, normal, double speed and freeze).
You also have a filter modifier with cutoff and resonance, amplifier and filter envelope control, modwheel mapping (volume, lowpass or highpass filter cutoff), pitch bend range as well as a solid bus compressor, tape-saturation, a lowcut and a stereo width adjustment.
Supine comes with a comprehensive onboard FX section. Besides the basic bread-and-butter effects like auto-pan, flanger and delay, you also got some more interesting effects:
The STEP FILTER is a tempo-synced bandpass filter that randomly changes its cutoff. The AMOUNT controls the strength of the cutoff sweeps. The STEP GATE is a classical volume “trance-gate”. In the middle are on/off toggle buttons for the various effect sections. To the right is a preset menu with 32 presets and a randomize button that chooses one randomly.
The SPACE REVERB comes with 60 impulse responses that you can choose via the dropdown menu. This convolution reverb is available for each part!
Perhaps the most interesting thing in Supine. Each part has a 2 x 32 step sequencer that lets you not only control the sample offset per part but also the loop offset. It loads 32 loops per part into the RAM and then you can offset which one to play. (Which delivers really interesting results in no time!).
Furthermore, each part has 32 presets (together with the famous “R” button), a rate control (1/2 , 1/4, 1/8 , 1/16), start step and end step offset knobs + a SLICE and a GATE button:
On top of that, you can even record your own pattern data using the pattern recording buttons for either sample offset (SO) or loop offset (LO). There are 8 user-patterns available for that purpose (that get saved to disk as well).
