Bowed Vibraphone

It’s hard to explain just how beautiful the sound of a vibraphone being bowed is. It’s a percussion instrument, so it’s supposed to be hit with a mallet. But applying a cello bow to the metal bars unleashes a sound like no other.

The sound of bowing instantly makes it appear orchestral at first, but then you soon hear a slowly evolving glassy, almost metallic tone appear from underneath. Playing chords and adding reverb makes the sound of a bowed vibraphone become almost like a chamber choir.

Trinidad Pans

We present to you… Trinidad Pans. You’re about to experience a swarm of steel pans warming up your airwaves like a Caribbean breeze. We recorded four pans: a cello pan, a double alto pan and two soprano pans – all playing octave tremolos. This is when you play the same note, an octave apart, in quick succession. When you spread this across a keyboard, add some reverb and start playing chords, you get a monsoon of lush textures and a tropical rainstorm of nanoscopic details that beautifully weave in and out.

Bowed Marimba

It’s hard to explain just how beautiful the sound of a Marimba being bowed is. It’s a percussion instrument, so it’s supposed to be hit. But applying a cello bow to the wooden blocks unleashes a sound like no other.

The sound of bowing instantly makes it appear orchestral at first, but then you soon hear a slowly evolving glassy tone appear from underneath. Playing chords and adding reverb makes the sound of a bowed marimba become almost like a chamber choir. Finally, it’s worth noting that this sounds amazing on its own, but also sounds amazing when layered with your favourite orchestral or choir library. We’re particularly proud of this one!

Quantum Marimba

You’re about to enter the marimba’s quantum realm. This is the sound of a concert marimba being played at the very edge of silence, or to use the technical term: pianissimo (meaning to perform ‘very softly’). Quantum Marimba is pervasively cinematic and will start you on a journey of inspiration from your first hit.

We’ve mapped these super soft articulations across the full dynamic range within Kontakt. What that means is when you firmly hit a note on your keyboard you still get the sound of a marimba played pianissimo. And when you play your keyboard softly the sound will dampen further still.
