INSTALLATION ​INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION:

Download and install our download utility (found in the email you received from us). We offer both PC and MAC versions of
the download tool.

1. Enter the ENTIRE serial code (found in the email you received from us)

2. The download utility will automatically download and install your library.

3. The library can be found through the regular browser in Kontakt.

TROUBLESHOOTING DOWNLOADS:

The download utility should generally work for all download purposes, however please use our manual download links if
you encounter any issues. The manual download links are generally slower downloads, but allows you to download the
compressed library files (.rar compression) through your browser. You can access the manual download links here:

http://8dio.net/manuallink

Please use your purchasing email address and enter ENTIRE serial code.

TROUBLESHOOTING KONTAKT:

This library does NOT use the “add library” function in Kontakt and all files must be access through the regular Kontakt
browser (upper left side of Kontakt). Please use the file browser in Kontakt and locate the program (.nki) files in the library
to use it.

Please contact us at ​[email protected]​- if you encounter any other unforeseen issues.

BROWSER

The Browser is very straightforward: Each articulation has its own load/unload button and its own volume control. Additionally, they
can be stacked and randomized using our known CHAOS button.

There’s a settings button that helps assigning Keyswitches/Midi CC to change articulations on the fly.
MAIN UI CONTROLS​ ​- MODULATION

Additional options are available for further control of the instrument such as gate and a deeply-coded Tuning control that offers
both a tonal and a ‘fine-tune’ option.
MAIN UI CONTROLS​ ​- EFFECTS

There are 4 pads available, each one with its independent FX control (in addition to the CHAOS effects)

First, to enable a pad, an ON/OFF button has to be toggled on. Once on, the CHAOS button on the footer
will also randomise the selected effect.

There are three types of ​filters ​and nine different ​effects ​that can be assigned in each of the pads.

Once an effect has been loaded, each of the ​X ​and ​Y ​sections of the pads can also
be manually assigned to any control of the loaded effect

Once the X and Y are assigned to a control, they can be manipulated by playing
with the ​pad​.

Each of the pads has an “​intensity​” slider to control how much of the effect is
applied.

By right clicking on the left edge of the pad, a midi CC can be assigned to Y control and by right clicking on
the bottom edge of the pad, a midi CC can be assigned to the X control.
MAIN UI CONTROLS​ ​- FOOTER

A footer for quick controls is always in display. ​Dynamix will control the dynamics of the sound (also controllable with CC1) There
are ​ADSR ​controls for shaping the envelope of the sound and finally, an ​offset ​control allows further manipulation on the sample
start.

Please note that ​offset​ will not work if legato is enabled.

CHAOS ​EFFECTS

The Effects Engine is perhaps our

most elaborate feature.
We wanted to take the concept of
chance and extreme tweakability and
port it to our user-interface.

EFFECTS
The Effects page consists of multiple rack effects.
The Chaos 4 system allows you to create your
own effect chains and even more - to use the
same effect multiple times.

Just click the effect title and choose what you

want in a dropdown menu. What if you apply 5
Transform instances on top of a Degrader? You
are welcome to discover it.
FILTER ​controls an independant LOW PASS ​and ​HIGH PASS ​filter. These smooth filters can be directly controlled by the interface, or
by the included sequencer. You can even automate either lowpass or highpass filter with it. And of course, you can hit ​CHAOS ​in
order to randomise every relevant parameter.

The ​SEQ ​page consists of the ​LPF and ​HPF buttons which allow you to choose which filter type is controlled by the sequencer. We
also included ​RATE ​which adjusts the speed of the sequence remaining synced to your host tempo. ​STEPS ​which adjusts the
available amount of steps in the Sequencer and ​ON NOTE​ which will restart the sequence upon every new note played.
EQ ​controls a 3 band Equaliser, we have included a handful of useful presets to help you in sculpting your sound. We also have
included a ​CHAOS ​control, this allows you to randomise every value, which is extremely useful for carving out new and interesting
sounds.

DEGRADER ​consists of a ​BIT CRUSHER and a ​DISTORTION ​unit. Of course we also have included a ​CHAOS ​control, which allows you
to randomise every value, which is extremely useful for carving out new and interesting sounds.

The ​SEQ page contains a sequencer which is pretty similar to the one in Filters. The sequencer is able to control either ​RATE or
DRIVE​ with various ​RATE​ and ​STEPS​ of the sequence. It is also able to be restarted ​ON NOTE​.
DELAY ​consists of 2 sequential delays, this allows you to build complex rhythms and sequences by simply using different time
values. Each delay has a wet ​MIX ​parameter, a tempo synced ​TIME ​control, and ​FEEDBACK ​and ​PAN ​controls to help control the style
and power of the delay. And, you guessed it, we included a ​CHAOS ​control, so you are able to randomise every relevant parameter,
creating some truly amazing delay patterns. Both delays and the filters also work intelligently, meaning if you are not using them or
they are set to a minimal value, they will bypass themselves in order to save your CPU load.

TRANSFORM ​contains a powerful impulse convolution with some truly strange and wonderful presets. To change what convolution
is loaded, simply select the preset dropdown menu, and load any of our hand designed impulse responses. From fog horns, to car
crashes, engine revs to world ending drones, we have included a handful of our favourite custom recorded and designed presets and
our beloved Textural Delays. If you are feeling indecisive, you can also select the ​CHAOS ​control, which will randomly assign a
preset for you, as well as alter the available controls for some truly esoteric results. The included controls can help you further shape
the convolution, such as ​MIX ​which alters the wet value of the insert, ​SIZE ​which stretches or compresses the impulse, ​PRE-DELAY
which adds a small delay before the impulse is triggered, and of course a ​HIGH ​and ​LOW PASS FILTER​, which allows you to shape
the frequency of the impulse convolution layer.
REVERB ​contains a powerful convolution reverb partnered with a digital reverb. To change what convolution is loaded, simply select
the preset dropdown menu, and load any of our custom recorded impulse responses. We have included a variety, of real acoustic
spaces we use and love, such as recording studios, churches, cathedrals and halls. As well as a few not so acoustic spaces we equally
love.
This is a great tool for quickly placing your sound in designed space. Or of course you can select the ​CHAOS ​control and let the
engine do the choosing for you. The included controls are similar as to the ​TRANSFORM ​module.

PHASER controls the dual ​Phaser and Flanger module. Allowing you to modulate and move and sound source passed through it. ​MIX
controls the volume of the processed audio (Dry/Wet) whereas ​DEPTH allows you to control the amount or strength of the applied
modulation. ​SPEED controls the frequency of the modulation. ​COLOR controls the tone of the applied modulation, and ​FEED allows
you to adjust the feedback within the ​Flanger portion of the module. We also have included a ​CHAOS control, this allows you to
randomise every value, which is extremely useful for creating out new and interesting sounds.
