MUTATIONS is a deeply configurable prepared piano, with everything you need to create rhythmic, percussive and unique prepared piano textures. The library gives you the feeling you are in the room with a grand piano, and with a level of control that is as close as can be to having a hand under the lid, placing the bolts / mutes / pegs / screws / picks or ping pong balls yourself.
With 6 preparations + pure string, and some additional special effects (glissandos & ping-pong rolls), the preparations can be configured to the individual string for all 88 strings. Giving near limitless possibilities on your own sound. A custom key-bed has been created that shows in real time the note played, with a corresponding dropdown menu also being highlighted for ease of preparation in performance. Once a key is prepared, the note on the key has a permanent colour dot linked to the preparation type. For ease of seeing which preparations are happening at a glance.
Important Note: MUTATIONS requires the FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or above (also works with the FULL version of Kontakt 6/7). Do not purchase this if you only have Kontakt Player.
