WARNING!
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.
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 com-
pressed 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 brows-
er (upper left side of Kontakt). Please use the file browser in Kontakt and locate the program (.nki) files in the library to use it.
effects
The Effects page consists of multiple rack effects. To
reset any effect to its default position, simply select
the appropriate “Default“ option from the preset
dropdown menu.
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 randmise every value, which is extremely useful for creating out new
and interesting sounds.
EQ controls an 3 band Equaliser, we have included a handful of useful presets to help you in scullpting your sound. We also
have included a CHAOS control, this allows you to randmise every value, which is extremely useful for carving out new and
interesting sounds.
The Settings page consists of a few vital controls to help control the CHAOS switch. Such as MOTION, which constantly
randomises and animates every relevant parameter. RANGE which alters the amount of randomisation under both MOTION
and CHAOS. And the CHAOS / FLOW switch which changes the type of randmisation available. CHAOS is purely random based
on a value below your current settings and the RANGE, whereas FLOW analyses and adjusts your current settings depending
on your RANGE allowing you to have a more subtle evolution of randomisation.
DEGRADER consists of a BIT CRUSHER and a DISTORTION unit. Of course we also have included a CHAOS control, which
allows you to randmise every value, which is extremely useful for carving out new and interesting sounds.
The Settings page consists of a few vital controls to help control the CHAOS switch. Such as MOTION, which constantly
randomises and animates every relevant parameter. RANGE which alters the amount of randomisation under both MOTION
and CHAOS. And the CHAOS / FLOW switch which changes the type of randmisation available. CHAOS is purely random based
on a value below your current settings and the RANGE, whereas FLOW analyses and adjusts your current settings depending
on your RANGE allowing you to have a more subtle evolution of randomisation.
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 poer of the delay. We also went a step further, and added a a LOW and HIGH PASS filter to the end of the chain, this
allows you to filter out certain frequencies only in the feedback of the delay ensuring it doesn’t conflict with your main sound.
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. If you are feeling indesisive, 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. We have also crafted a quick and useful room positioner tool, by clicking anywhere in the
“ROOM” area you can access a variety of crafted presets which load custom settings ontop of your chosen convolution reverb.
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 except REVERB has a digital counterpart. This can be bypassed
by using the DIGITAL ON/OFF switch.

8DIO THANKS
THANK YOU
Thank you so much for shopping with 8DIO
The production of our libraries are not only a product of our own vision, but also a product of

and producers.
A special thanks to Tawnia, Colin, & Cam for keeping it together and dealing with my mad brain.
If you have any questions, concerns, love-letters or hate mail feel free to send it to [email protected]
