Syntone, a new sampling company, has launched their business and website with three new percussion libraries and a free version of an upcoming one, all for the full version of Kontakt 4.2.4+.
To get a free (via Facebook) version of the upcoming Piano Impacts library, please visit their website.
Their other launch instruments are as follows:
Bongos ($15AUD).
This Bongos library was created specifically to provide an extensive collection of hits and to address the lack of scrape samples in other libraries. This instrument was recorded with the following specs:
- 12 round robins for the hits.
- 4 round robin for the scrapes.
- 2 round robin for the looped scrapes.
- Up to 8 velocity layers for the hits.
- 1312 samples.
- 48kHz/24-bit quality.
- 169MB (91MB compressed).
Timbales ($10AUD).
The Timbales was sampled because it had a cowbell, but they figured that sampling that alone would be counterproductive. So they recorded the entire instrument, ending up with:
- 8 round robin.
- 8 velocity layers.
- 48kHz/24-bit quality.
- 85.5MB (40MB compressed).
Xylofun ($25AUD).
The Xylofun is a deep-sampled toy xylophone, created to unleash your inner child with the typical twinkling you expect from small toys like this. It was recorded with enough detail to produce the following:
- 8 velocity layers for the clean instrument.
- 8 round robin with optional neighbour borrowing (potential total of 24RR).
- 2 clean and 4 hybrid instruments.
- 48kHz/24-bit quality.
- 740MB(431MB compressed).
