Kalimba v3.0 KONTAKT

P2P | 25 August 2021 | 1.95 GB

The Kalimba is a modernized version of the ancient African Mbira, also often called a thumb piano. It has a humble, melodious percussive plucking sound with a marimba-like warmth and tonal body. It is often used in conjunction with pianos and other tuned percussion instruments to add a sharper attack and playfulness to the sound. Our instruments were made of wood and coconut shell, with hammered steel tines suspended over their sound holes. The notes span about an octave and a half for the smaller of our two instruments and over two octaves for the larger kalimba. We recorded kalimbas in 3 different environments: Close and Dry in our studio; at medium distance in a small bright chamber; and in a large, long linear hall, at both close (1 meter) and far (15 meters) microphone distances. We call our long hall “The Bunker”, because that’s exactly what it really is – a deep underground World War 1-era artillery bunker. It’s one of our favorite secret locations, used for some parts of the Rust 2 library and several other instruments in our collection. The dry recording was done with a stereo pair of large-diaphragm condensers at 2 inches away in a very dry space. You’ll hear a little bit of wood scuffing and creaking. We think those elements help to give the instruments a truer life-like sound and feel.

The Nuclear Bass v1.0 KONTAKT

P2P | 23 October 2021 | 3.97 GB

THE NUCLEAR BASS is the third in our trilogy of bass libraries, compatible with full versions of  Kontakt 5.5 and above (not Kontakt Player). This fiery monster uses almost double the samples of its predecessors, achieving stunning realism by triggering numerous samples per note across multiple velocity layers. Based on the sound of a highly sought after fanned-fret five-string, it combines fat subs with an explosive punch that’ll shake your very atoms. It’s a down-tuned, dirty bass tone that’ll sure as hell leave its mark on your production.

Bamboo Xaxophone KONTAKT

FREE | 14/05/2020 | 683 MB

The Bamboo Xaxophone is a sort of odd saxophone obtained out of… bamboo! Originally built in Hawai, the bamboo sax is a chromatic single reed instruments that looks like a Duduk or a straight Chinese flute. Its mellow and warm tone could be mistaken as an intriguing mix of clarinet and saxophone, whereas in the upper range the bamboo saxophone emerges for its strong but balanced shrill timbre. For the occasion we thought that “Xaxophone” could be the right name to distinguish it from its metallic relative!

Dominus Choir Pro KONTAKT

Team DECiBEL | 15 May 2020 | 49.88 GB

While releasing Dominus Choir two years ago, we were already looking forward to enrich it with new features. Among them, the possibility to sing in English and Marcato and Staccato articulations. By now we could say that we successfully accomplished the task. This time, Paolo had in mind the perfect picture of how the choir library would have sung, knowing exactly how to achieve the best result; Mario Lanaro, from its first sampling experience had by that time become a true sampling-machine, with his positive attitude and attention to detail, always striving to pull out the best from the singers; the choirs themselves, with the perfect blend of experience of the oddities of sampling and the excitement for the new challenge.
