Tabla Samples for Krome !

Author : SynthKeyWizard

The tabla (or tabl, tabla) (Hindi: तबला, Bengali: তবলা, Urdu: طبلہ‎, Arabic: طبل، طبلة‎, Persian: طبل‎) is a membranophone percussion instrument (similar to their Latin-American/Afro-Cuban relatives bongos), which are often used in Hindustani classical music, invented by the Sufi Amir Khusro.

It is still used in the music behind folk and sufi poetry.

It later became a part of Hindustani music industry. The instrument consists of a pair of hand drums of contrasting sizes and timbres.

Here are Tabla samples for your Krome !


Originally created for kronos by synthkeywizard, this is a single conversion for your korg krome.

Indian samples are not simple to find on the internet, so, enjoy this piece of work.

I do not have time to make drum pattern using the tabla samples, but if you do, please share them with us !

Enjoy !

Famous Song Combi Contest ! (Almost 200$ prizes !)

Dear Kromeheavener ,
the time has come for a new contest on kromeheaven !
I'm sure we have hidden talents among you all ... So do not hesitate to participate , the contest is open, even for beginners.

Theme of the contest

For this new contest , we decided to focus on a specific theme and a specifi type of participation :
Combi

for playing

Famous Song!

It is very simple : Pick your favorite song, put in place a combination of sounds to play it live on your krome and send us your work to enter the competition !

At the end of the entry period (see deadline below), krome combinations will be voted on by users . Beware, this time 2 points will be taken into account : The votes but also the number of downloads . Indeed, in the last competition , the popularity of the second participant was higher on the number of download ... This means that some have evaluated without downloading sounds, so without testing !

The winners

The first will win 2 packs of sounds from Dan Stesco : Killer Pack & Killer Organ worth $ 88

The second will win the pack : DSKrome Killer Pack worth $ 69

The third pack to win is the Killer Organ worth $ 29

 

 


Dan thank you for sponsoring this contest, you can also participate and enter the competition !

Deadline for entries 28/02/2014 : WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR BEST COMBI ! (PCG file or PC/MAC editor format)

Krome Killer Organ pack, soon for sale !

Dan Stesco is back on your Krome, and for sure, you will enjoy its next pack...

Kromeheaven wanted to give you more information about that pack.

Ta da ! Here is the beast :

Dan Stesco Killer Organ Pack !

 

Killer Organ is a concept released by Dan in 2007 on Karma-Lab forum.

Dan wanted to create a Real Organ using Korg M3, so he created a tone wheel sound and used it to simulate the drawbars.

He assigned a special Organ Fx with many useful controls. Krome Killer Organ is a real organ emulator optimized to work perfectly in the limit of polyphony, having all the controls that are needed for real expressive organ player:

  • Click On/Off button,
  • Rotary speaker Fast/Slow/Brake,
  • Organ Vibrato-Chorus Type and Level,
  • Overdrive On/Off,
  • Spring level and also some cool groove generated by arpegiattors and drum tracks to create a song or to practice easier.

This Killer organ pack is now fully compatible with your Krome.

So to sum up : Optimized with 2 programs only, and combinations made entirely with them ! What a great approach, I am already convinced !

 

 

Here is a demonstration posted by Dan himself :
