Vintage Rhythm Section

Vintage Rhythm Section by Big Fish Audio brings the character of 1960s and 1970s rhythm tracks into Kontakt 5. Covering drums, bass, guitar, keyboards and percussion, this virtual instrument suits soul, funk, R&B, jazz and rock productions that need a lived-in feel rather than a polished modern sheen. Sampled vintage instruments, recorded with period-style amps and microphones wherever possible, retain the small imperfections that give older recordings their personality. Shape drum kits through a 12-channel mixer with EQ, convolution reverb, panning and solo/mute controls, plus master tape saturation and compression. For keyboards, basses and guitars, the main interface provides tone shaping, tape-style saturation and delay, amp-style distortion and a Leslie-style rotator effect. Its straightforward layout makes it a practical choice for hobby producers building retro or indie arrangements, as well as composers needing live-sounding rhythm parts on tight deadlines.
