Instrument Panel
When you first open an instance of “The Container” from any of the provided .nki instruments you will see this tab, which contains three sub-panels as follows:
MIXER PANEL – The default opening panel, this contains all of the following mixer/microphone controls:
- Microphone Purge/Load – Turns the 10 available microphones on/off

- Allows you to rotate the instrument in 3D left and right.
OPTIONS PANEL – Here you can select from extra special features that give you more fine control over the performance and output characteristics of the instrument:
- Round Robin/Sample Options – This defaults to RR’s which can be cyclic or completely random. When the Granulator is activated these will be automatically turned off, however you can turn them on again manually to give yourself some more texture options.
- Sample Playing Mode – This option allows you to choose whether the whole sample is played regardless of whether it is released when the key you are pressing is released.
- Limiter Switch – Activated by default to prevent high peaks when using the Granulator.
- Global Presets Menu – These presets affect the entire instrument, modifying controls on every panel to allow you to quickly and strongly change a base sound.
- Routing Options – Define the routing output for each microphone.
- Envelope Controls – ADSR & Intensity controls.
FX Panels & The Tuning Panel
“The Container” comes complete with a powerful FX section that will allow you to mangle and manipulate the base sounds in a number of creative ways.
The FX panel is divided into three logical sub-panels for ease of use – Distortion, Filters/EQ and Delay/Reverb. You will quickly discover just how easy it is to take one of the base sounds and turn it into something uniquely yours!

FX PANEL 2 – FILTER / EQ
Low pass/High pass filters – These are standard filters with individual controls available for both in Cutoff & Resonance
Solid EQ – The EQ section includes a number of ways to control the frequency content of individual sounds including:
- Individual Gain and Frequency knobs in the following bands: Bass, Low Medium, High Medium & Treble.
- You can further refine this in the Bass and Treble sections using the EQ Bell buttons, or in the Low Medium and High Medium sections using the Fine Tune knobs.
- There is also a Gain knob to control the overall output level of the EQ section.
FX PANEL 3 – DELAY / REVERB
- Delay – Designed to let you create interesting stereo effects and move your sounds around in space this section contains controls for the following: Time, Damping, Pan, Feedback, Dry & Wet Controls

TUNING PANEL
The Tuning panel allows you to individually and precisely tune the keys of an instrument in any way you please and gives you a number of tools to achieve this:
- Tuner Preset Menu – Choose from a number of presets including Stairs Up, Stairs Down, -/+ 12 semitones, -/+ 24 semitones, Random Narrow & Random Wide.

What People Think About 69% off “The Container” by Spaectrum Arts
-
"Spaectrum Arts did it again! The Container delivers all manner of dark, spooky and scary sounds that you would need for cinematic and video game composing. You get nearly 14 GB of samples, 26 ready to use Instruments, a powerful granular synthesis engine (and a sound designer’s playground), and a very well written manual. I can’t think of any other library in that quality for this kind of price tag."
