ARTIST

NATHAN BOLER

Quadral was created by Nathan Boler using a variety of hardware and soft synths, FX plugins, pedalboards, guitars, pianos, and field recordings. Nathan is a composer, producer and sound designer based in North Carolina. He received a music business degree in 2013 and then began actively traveling to China, Mexico, Europe, and across the USA to compose original music, capture field recordings, and design ambient sounds.

Nathan's professional experience ranges from music creation for virtual reality, games, short films, and podcasts, to capturing new instrument recordings and filming videos for Soundiron. When not working on the next Soundiron project, Nathan posts his original music ideas to Spotify and Youtube for the love of the game. He also enjoys cooking, biking, weight lifting, and watching old movies with his wife and their pet instruments.

The user interface is built around four separate quadrants, an assignable XY Pad, and arpeggiator system to expand your creative potential. Each layer in Quadral 3 has fully independent sound-shaping options including Attack, Release, Offset, Pitch, Pan, and more. Every quadrant has its own individual arpeggiator and filter with 39 built-in filter types.

The central XY Pad can be used in a variety of ways but defaults as volume control between the 4 layers. Each axis can be customized to affect a different parameter and can be used to control filters or a select amount of FX options. Rhythmic motion can also be added to the XY Pad, automatically adjusting each axis in a tempo-syncable way. You can also limit the X and Y range to create new patterns and fluctuations in tone.

You can set up dynamic arpeggiator, gliss, and strum patterns with our integrated ARP system, featuring a suite of abilities like rhythm, direction, swing and randomization. The Legato feature is also included, instantly turning this machine into a monophonic legato/portamento instrument with adjustable pitch bend speed control. Dive in to tweak and automate every parameter with total control over every detail, or just hit the Random button to instantly generate an infinite variety of new sound, parameter and dynamic modulator combinations. The Macro knobs to the left and right of the XY Pad can be assigned to modulate a variety of layer sound shaping controls or FX rack plugins.

User sample import allows you to blend your own WAV files into the engine to make each sound truly your own. Mix and shape your samples alongside our 16 categories of sounds and 36 wavetables for your next epic atmosphere.

Quadral 3 ships with over 300 Factory Presets in 6 categories, each one lovingly crafted. They can be easily perused using the Preset Browser. You can also save new patches you’ve made using the browser, or share presets with other users. Finally, don’t forget to fire up the FX rack panel and load your synth up with dozens of DSP effects, including convolution reverb with over 100 of our custom real-world and special FX spaces to perfect your sound.

MADE FOR KONTAKT

This library is designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8 or later is required to use the nki files in this library.

This library is designed for the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8 or later. Kontakt is an industry-standard advanced virtual instrument software platform. You can view screenshots of this library's custom graphical user interface in the image gallery above. This library is packed with features to provide you a wide range of sound shaping parameter controls, each one totally automation-ready in your host environment or Kontakt's stand-alone mode.

This is a standard Kontakt open-format library, so the free Kontakt Player does not fully support it and can only run it in a limited "demo mode". However, the sample directories are unlocked so you can use them in other wav-compatible software, sampler and synth formats. The special Libraries tab doesn't support this open-format Kontakt library, but you can use the standard File browser tab and import this library into the Kontakt Quickload window for easy loading and navigation.
