The immediacy of Blinksonic instruments is a joy. With a few twists and turns of parameters you find yourself entering a pattern you would probably never have anticipated developing. It’s all too easy to fall into familiar ways of working.

The library is a free download from the Flintpope website. Seven snapshots can be accessed via the dropdown menu next to the “Pure Release” snapshot. All these can be further tweaked under the hood. Then there is a Plate Reverb for a roomy vibe and a quirky Convolution Reverb loaded with the “Electrode Clasp” wav for some weirdness and rhythmic edgeiness. The effects feature two instances of Replika Delay, one featuring a Modern preset set to a slow repeat and fade, the other a Diffuson preset for instant foggy tail-off.

This instrument comprises 25 individually sampled grand piano strings (with long atmospheric tail-off), spanning C2-C4, (the typical range of a 25 key home studio keyboard), with 4 velocity sensitivites.
