"Welcome to a new and exciting instrument, the Advanced Waterphone Performance Sampler. This instrument for Kontakt 3 and 4 is designed from high quality samples of Richard Waters’ amazing invention, the waterphone.These samples are rich in microtonality and complex timbres. Our instrument is designed to respond like a waterphone giving you the joy and surprise of exploring some of the random sonic worlds that are born from different bowings, strikes and hits on the waterphone.
Different velocities trigger different timbres, samples and combinations. Some are predictable, some surprising. Please see the video demos [below]
Uncharted Waters is exclusively available through Richard Waters’ website: www.waterphone.com. This introductory offer is a steal at $15 for the complete downloadable instrument."

"This is a live, real-time performance sampler based on samples made with the blessing of Richard Waters, the inventor of the Waterphone. Samples are mapped to a keyboard in a to give the "feel" of actually playing a waterphone. Velocity, repeated key strokes, aftertouch and mowheel all interact for a surprising and inspiring timbral journey for the sonically curious. This audio file was performed in a single pass without editing or external effects. Original programming and design by Todd Barton and Joel Henigson. Enjoy!"
