Have Audio introduced a new Kontakt library featuring the sounds of the Kantele – a traditional plucked string instrument from Finland. It comes from the same ilk as zithers, lap harps, and other stuff I don’t want in my death metal. The sample library contains 3 flavors of Kantele and a bonus synth.

Kantele requires the full version of Kontakt 6.5.2+ and is on sale at our affiliate partner Plugin Boutique for $42, down from $59. The offer is valid until June 5, 2022.

More Information

Groundshaker is a virtual groove box running inside Kontakt. Some of its features are parameter randomization and MIDI export. The randomizer function generates grooves instantly out of a factory library with 1000 24-bit samples and 45 factory kits. You can also load your own samples. Better yet, if you click buy before May 31 2022, you’ll pay $12 instead of $70. The full version of Kontakt 6.4.2+ is required.

Deal: Thenatan Brass

More Information

When you think of brass instruments, you might not necessarily think of trap, hip-hop, EDM and future bass. Yet, that’s what Brass by Thenatan is all about! The samples here are layered and processed into Pete Rock “trumpet hooks” and Rick Ross chords. Up to four brass sounds coming out of 100 different instruments are stacked in each preset.

Furthermore, the provided XYXY pad (yes, that’s double the XY) lets you blend the individual layers between each other to taste. You can also shape the sound with parameters and effeects such as Colorizer, Drive, Delay, Reverb, Panner, Bit-Crusher, Equalizer, NY Compressor, and filters.

Brass works standalone or as a AU, VST, and VST3 plug-in under Windows (7 to 10) and macOS (10.9.5+). For a limited time, you will pay $20 for it instead of $79.50.

Samples – Audio Brewers Crescent

More Information

Dolby Atmos is always at the core of Audio Brewers products and that’s also the case with its new virtual cello quartet. The Kontakt instrument offers 31 string articulations and 8 polyphonic legatos in 2 different styles.

The developer’s immersive sound exploits are represented by 4 different mono and stereo perspectives you can choose from. So you can immerse yourself in the virtual cello while having the sounds come at you from all sides.

Kontakt, however, does not natively support Ambisonic decoding yet. To circumvent that, Crescent ships in the form of stereo samples plus RAW Ambix Ambisonic Samples (4-channels) and you may need a third-party plug-in for decoding. Additionally, all that spatial audio makes for a large footprint. the 20,000 included samples take up 50 GB uncompressed (or 27GB with lossless compression.) Until June, you will pay €23 instead of €149.

Free: SampleScience Nouveau Djembe

samplescience-nouveau-djembe

Without SampleScience’s consistent generosity, our Samples of the Week freeware section would be looking pretty drab at times. This week, the developer came up with Nouveau Djembe. Here, the instrument is played using a drum stick. The library is royalty-free and includes 50 one-shots in the form of 24-bit, 44.1 kHz Stereo WAV files. If you like it, SampleScience accepts donations and yours will be always welcome!

Free: Strezov Samples Diamond Jazz Trio

More Information
