A new video in which James shows how you can use the velocity modulation in SC Blanks to bring some life to single hit drum programming.
Read MoreFour samples is not much these days, when major acoustic drum VIs will use thousands of samples to give a natural result.
However, as we try to demonstrate here, that’s not always what you want, and plenty of great tracks have been made with much, much less.

Cory Pelazzari takes a languid tour through the sounds of Threnody Strings. Cory has gained a reputation for concise, useful video tours of sampled instruments, and he has a knack for summing up the library in an unpretentious way.

“Complexity presented with simplicity – all the strings at your fingertips”

Vibraphone + Grand Marimba Updates
By Soniccouture | 11.11.2020
We have big updates to our invincible Vibraphone + Marimba instruments, available now.
The new instruments give a clearer layout with enhanced functionality and a full new Kontakt 6 effects section.
Grand Marimba has been completely rebuilt into our new intelligent round-robin system. The old sample set was 15 velocity layers x 5 round robins. This has now been combined into one ‘high-res’ stack of 70 velocity layers. To prevent sample repeat adjacent samples in the stack are used when required.
Additionally, to both instruments we now add our Generative Tools: Weaver and Jammer for inspirational jamming, and our micro-tuning module for the interval-curious.
No new sample data has been added.
These new updates are free and require Kontakt 6.2. Available now in your User Account
