Colossal Toms

ARIA Sounds are proud to present “Colossal Toms”, an ensemble of eight separately playable toms, with tunings from large and deep to high.

One of the things that really makes this library stand out, easy to use, and realistic, is that we tried to max out the velocity layers, so each hit has up to 127 different, separately recorded dynamics. This means, on top of the fact that you virtually eliminate the problem of hearing one sample twice too soon, creating an artificial sound, but you can obtain extremely realistic performances.

A loud section can be easily scaled down in dynamics, due to the fact that there are so many velocity layers – see the upcoming demos for examples of this. The instrument is also compatible with both version 4 and 5 of Kontakt, and comes with a close mic position, and hall mic position.

Each drum has been played with varied techniques, including soft mallets, sticks, sticks with newspaper on the drum, rims, hands, brushes etc. Click each of the drum icons on the interface to loud and unloud that particular drum. Unloaded drums will appear on the keyboard interface as black, and loaded drums with active samples will be shown as blue keys.

  • This library runs in KONTAKT 4 and above.
  • Library size is 6GB

Aevium

A Four Layered Synthesis Engine & Sound-Design library built for Kontakt

Aevium is a powerfully unique collection of fierce lead synths and atmospheric pads, developed in partnership with the premier sound effects and Foley production house BOOM Library, sound designed by our team using only source sounds from their Birds Of Prey avian sound effect library as our point of origin. We love to challenge ourselves as sound designers here at Soundiron, seeking ever more exotic acoustic sources to explore and shape into musically compelling and intuitively playable virtual instruments.

Birds Of Prey is a comprehensive post-production sound effects library capturing the essence of owls, eagles, crows, hawks, falcons, vultures and other raptors, corvids and large birds of prey.

Perfect for creating natural wildlife soundscapes and character/creature sounds, it’s an essential tool for sound design and post-production for video games, film, television, video, advertising and more. Visit BOOM Library for more info about Birds Of Prey.

To build Aevium, we selected a wide variety of raw source sounds from Birds Of Prey and worked for months to warp, stretch, modulate, glitch, overdrive, and generally tear into to bits and bytes and re-synthesize them into a stunning sample-based virtual instrument library. We’ve hand-crafted 11GB of sound-designed content, with over 1800 samples. The preset browser tree makes it easy to explore and create! Everything is conveniently organized into a variety of helpful and efficiently searchable musical, textural and aesthetic categories.

The user interface is built on our popular Ouroboros ambient synthesis engine (Ambius Prime, Quadral), so the creative possibilities are truly limitless.

Whether you’re looking for classic punchy lead patches, warm fuzzy pads, dark drones, bubbling atmospherics, otherworldly textures or just pure flights of imagination, Aevium is your wing man!

The main user interface is built around four separate quadrants, an assignable XY Pad, quick modulator + filter routing menus, and arpeggiator system to expand your creative potential. Each layer has fully independent sound-shaping options including Attack, Release, Offset, Pitch and Pan. Every quadrant has its own individual filter with 39 built-in filter types, as well as modulators using a variety of sources: LFO, ADSR and Velocity with 5 selectable targets: Volume, Pitch, Pan, Filter Frequency, Filter Resonance.

The central XY Pad can be used in a variety of ways but defaults as volume control between the 4 layers.

Each axis can be customized to affect a different parameter and can be used to control filters or a select amount of FX options. Rhythmic motion can also be added to the XY Pad, automatically adjusting each axis in a tempo-syncable way. You can also limit the X and Y range to create new patterns and fluctuations in tone.

  • One master NKI instrument bank in open Kontakt format
  • Over 20 categories of sample based synth sustains, staccatos, basses, leads, and FX
  • Over 400 factory presets: inspirational rocket fuel

LSS Solo Strings

Solo Strings Sample Library Bundle for Kontakt

Aria Sounds is very happy to bring you the LSS SOLO STRINGS. A sample library comprising of meticulously sampled solo violin, viola, cello and double bass instruments.

We have sampled these instruments in a large beautiful concert hall, with many microphones, making up four main, mixable mic perspectives:

  • Close mono
  • Close pair
  • Mid room
  • Far room

The difference in perspectives is huge, meaning you can create sounds ranging from a very dry and up close sound, to a singing, naturally reverberated distant violin – as well as many degrees between the two.

  • The full version of Kontakt 4 or above is required to run this instrument.

Three legato modes were sampled – slurred, bowed and portamento.

These are easily switchable during use via keyswitches, and one exceptionally useful feature, which we are shocked to say we rarely see in string libraries, is the ability to change bow on the same note. Simply hold the note you want to change bow on, and press the low G keyswitch (see screenshot below).

Staccato and whole tone trills are also included, with the staccatos having 24 variations per note so as to never sound repetitive – also switchable via keyswitch.

Another feature included is the ability to alter the release sound when the final note is played and released. A soft release is a normal removal of the bow from the string, but through keyswitching, you can also select hard release, which triggers a hard release. This is the sound of a player ending the note with a sharp crescendo and quick accented lift of the bow.

  • The full version of Kontakt 4 or above is required to run this instrument.
  • It will not run on the free version of Kontakt player.

Loft Piano

The perfect blend of character and polish.

  • Beautiful, raw, and emotional sound
  • Custom GUI with simple, yet effective controls
  • Tonal depth knob adds granular decays
  • Requires Kontakt 6 Full Version. 1.2GB of Space

LOFT PIANO KONTAKT OVERVIEW

If the Loft Piano doesn’t become one of your top 5 favorite piano libraries, let us and know and we will issue you a refund. ​

The Loft Piano is an exquisitely sampled upright grand piano. Sampled in, you guessed it, a loft. It’s a perfect Kontakt piano for a wide range of genres. We love using it for bedroom pop (Billie Eilish vibes anyone?) as well as Future Bass, House, Hip Hop, and of course, Film Score. ​

We wanted to create a piano that is part character and part studio. Most piano plugins or piano Kontakt libraries are either one or the other.

Character pianos often only work in a limited range of songs while the more versatile pianos can sound stale and boring. ​

The Loft Piano for Kontakt can be either. It comes with 5 Snap Shots for Kontakt so you can easily access 5 distinct and unique versions of the piano. We’ve also created a soft patch as a bonus to the main sound.

Exquisitely sampled

We used two large diaphragm condenser microphones (Nuemann UI 87) and two pencil condensers to capture the source recordings. Over 1,500 samples.

Edited. And edited some more

We cleaned up any unwanted imperfections for each individual sample.

Powered by 3,047 lines of code

The Loft Piano does the heavy lifting for you so you can focus on what you do best, make music. The custom KSP script handles round robin and allows you to control the most important elements of the piano’s sound.

Knockout Drums

A hard-hitting drum sample library built for Kontakt

Knockout Drums is a hard-hitting drumkit sample library created in collaboration with metal drummer extraordinaire Navene Koperweis (Entheos, Animosity, Animals As Leaders) and seasoned mixing engineer/producer Zack Ohren (Machine Head, All Shall Perish, Aborted). Whether you’re looking for a gigantic live room feel or a super- focused and tight studio sound, this kit crushes it.

Navene obsessively sampled every nuance of his Starclassic Bubinga drumkit at Sharkbite Studios to bring you a massive collection of hand-picked drums including 7 snares, 3 kicks, and a variety of Meinl cymbals designed to strike hard and show no mercy. Each element can be dialed in to your personal taste with a wide selection of carefully selected microphone models recorded through a 1978 Trident TSM console.

We utilized a unique stereo pair for each drum using TLM 103’s, top and bottom mics for snare & toms, kick and sub, and a selection of room mic options that offer you complete sonic freedom to tackle everything from progressive & death metal to rock, pop, breakbeat and dance styles and everywhere in-between. This library has all the power tools and performance features you need to get a great-sounding drum mix right out-of-the-box, no matter what tonal style you’re after.

We’ve packed the user interface with powerful sound-shaping controls to give you complete flexibility.

Fire Strings

Fire Strings will ignite your creativity with 6GB of custom recorded sounds inside an extremely powerful engine powered by Native instruments Kontakt sampler.

Fire Strings is a hybrid, scoring and music production tool for cinematic composers and producers. The library consists of a highly curated collection of cinematic sounds created from recordings of electric violin and guitars recorded through high end analog signal paths (Neve, API, Universal Audio, Manley) and put through extensive sound design processes by a team of sound designers.

Over 140 sounds including sustains, textures and grooves are included.

The Engine

Each sequencer has advanced controls which allow you to change the speed, number of steps, direction, offset, fade-in, nudge and loop individually per sequencer. Each sequencer also has copy/paste functions, randomisation and built-in presets.

Fire Strings is an incredibly advanced instrument for Kontakt. Combine two sound sources and rhythmically swap between each sound or create rich evolving soundscapes with gradual modulation. There are also presets per sequencer so you can quickly select pre-built tools to add rhythm and variation instantly.

The 11 effects per sound can be controlled randomly or in positive or negative directions at the press of a button. The amount of control here is unprecedented and opens up a vast world of sound design capabilities.

An additional 8 global send and insert effects allow for even further sound manipulating possibilities.

Content

Tonal – This section of the library contains electric violin sustains and textures both of a traditional and extended nature. We dug very deep to push well beyond common technique. Here you’ll find everything from standard sustains and tremolos to the extremely jarring spectral scrubs, harmonics, trills, wild microtonal bends and vibrato.

Risers – Risers offers a collection of long, tension building glissandos played with a variety of bowing and fingering techniques, perfect for developing climaxes.

Rhythmic – The rhythmic content consists of dozens of tonal, tempo-synced electric guitar grooves that serve as the perfect starting point for a cue. All grooves are mapped across several octaves and are freely transposable.

  • 129 Snapshots
  • Custom GUI
  • 11 FX Sequencers Per Sound

Fatty 311

FATTY 311 honors the tonal legacy of the Conn Prelude 311 organ.

 Our lovely Prelude had a real spring reverb unit, two 44 key keyboards, a Min-O-Matic rhythm machine, and tons of emulated sounds of clarinet, trombone, violin, guitar tremolo, and more.

FATTY 311 honors the tonal legacy of the Conn Prelude 311 organ. C.G. Conn Ltd., sometimes called Conn Instruments or commonly just Conn, was an American manufacturer incorporated in 1915. Its early business was based primarily on brass instruments manufactured in Elkhart, Indiana. During the 1950s, its best seller became the electric organ. After the household organ craze died down (50-70), Conn went bankrupt and was eventually bought by Steinway in 2000.

Charles G. Conn was a Civil War veteran of the U.S. Army who established a grocery and baking business in Elkhart, Indiana after the war. He also played cornet in the local community band. He started out inventing cornet mouthpieces, and by 1905, Conn had the world’s largest musical instrument factory producing a full line of wind instruments, strings, percussion, and a portable organ.

Our lovely Prelude has a real spring reverb unit, two 44 key keyboards, a Min-O-Matic rhythm machine, and tons of emulated sounds of clarinet, trombone, violin, guitar tremolo, and more. The instrument’s classic wooden body echoes the popular aesthetics of the 1970s and its beefy, warm analog sound can cut through any mix. We sampled its best sustains, staccatos, and effects in three microphone positions to bring your midi to life. You can easily use vibrato and a special “Octave” knob, which spices up your tone by smoothly rolling in lower and higher octaves. We’ve also included tons of custom FX patches and sound-designed ambient synth pads created from the source to make this library extraordinarily playable and versatile. Whether you’re looking to recreate an old video game sound, huge synth bass tone or play straight from the hymnal, Fatty 311 can get you there!

Contents

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more.

This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.

The interface is rounded-out by our modular FX rack panel, with 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more. The Reverb effect includes our favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. We’ve added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!

Hyperion Strings Ensemble

Hyperion Strings Ensemble is an orchestral string scoring library with brilliant sound, expressive control, and adaptive performance features.

It’s loaded with a massive array of dynamic long and short articulations, fingered true legato and portamento, emotive dynamic expressions, tremolo, runs, trills, flautando, ponticello, harmonics, chromatic and aleatoric effects, and creative sound-design elements. It’s a complete string scoring solution right at your fingertips, with everything you’ll need to shape your own sound, from the intimate to the astral.

Whether you want human realism and detail or vast ambient textures, Hyperion Strings Ensemble offers total flexibility to fit any style and arrangement, wrapped in a wide, intuitive interface that lets you dive right in. This 30-piece string ensemble has compact sections with 8 1st Violins, 7 2nd Violins, 6 Violas, 5 Cellos and 4 Double Basses to produce natural divisi arrangements, with a 12-layer slot system that lets you quickly build huge symphonic groupings. Create your own mix with 4 distinctive microphone distances. The ultra-close Stage mix has intense character and clarity. The newly remastered Close position delivers modern tone with relaxed processing. The wide Mid Hall blend offers velvety warmth with a rounded top end. The lush Far Hall has a classic atmospheric sound.

Contents

The Legato deftly weaves vibrato and clean sustains with fingered and glissando legato transitions across the dynamic range, with adaptive speed response that seamlessly transitions from quick slurred runs to smooth melodies. Craft dramatic passages with naturally emotively bowed sustains, fast & slow interval trills, tremolo, ponticello, harmonic, flautando and other effect sustains.

From the delicate to the bombastic, our dynamic expressions bring a score to life. You’ll find dozens of variations to fit every mood, with smart dynamic release-triggering, tempo-sync and time-stretching. Combine them with our A-B system, Offset, Attack, and Release controls to create truly expressive moments. Do it live with Performance mode and effortlessly switch between sustains and shorts as you play. Take it easy with adaptive legato response, natural vibrato-clean blending and auto-bowing.

The Shorts include long & dotted 8th-note staccatos, 16th & 32nd-note short staccatos, 32nd & 64th-note spiccatos and loose & tight pizzicato plucks, with up to 8 round-robins, velocity/swell control, and auto speed-switching for realism and precision. You’ll also find fx shorts like loose & tight Bartok pitz snaps and Col Legno bow taps, tremolo and trill stacs, and many other specialized variations. Explore a broad selection of crescendos, decrescendos, vibrato-clean transition, hairpins, sforzandos, and swells to create nuanced and realistic movements.

Each section includes plenty of long and short chromatic and aleatoric effects, including runs, bridge bowing and plucks, runs, slides, clusters, tension beds, cacophonies, stabs, stingers, risers, falls, percussion and more. The 1st Violins also feature a wide selection of long and short Sordino articulations, expressions and effects, including true legato & portamento.

Fly seamlessly between grouped articulation layers with instant key-switch assignment, A-B grouping, velocity stacking and cross-fade control. Dial in your ideal Swell range with the Niente attenuator. Sequence as you go with the Arpeggio editor and keep it in key with Play-Assist. Shape your tone, body, dynamic response and sound-stage positioning and acoustic environment on the Effects and Space panels. Create the perfect articulation maps with handy macros and convenient preset menus at the top of each panel, making it easy to save time and share templates and settings across the library

Each carefully balanced mic position captures a distinct aesthetic style. The Stage mix places the mics on each player for intense presence, detail and transparency to bring each instrument into focus, making it the perfect choice for adding definition and personality to any arrangement. The Close position delivers a modern, bold cinematic tone that also forms the basis for our Micro and Elements editions, but we’ve dialed back the processing in this Ensemble edition to achieve a more natural quality, letting it breathe and move freely. The Mid Hall blend is a wide omni array with velvety character, relaxed dynamics, and soft highs that falls easily into place in classic movie soundtracks. The Far Hall has a lush, vintage quality with a deep, dark concert hall sound that harkens back to golden age mid-century classical recordings.
