Gimbri KONTAKT

Warm Bassy Plucks

The Gimbri is a three-stringed skin-covered bass that originated in Morocco. It is actually a lute that produces rich deep but also somewhat harsh and earthy tones through its wooden body and goat gut strings. Often compared to a bass guitar, the gimbri brings deepness into the music with its low dynamic range. The main focus was to capture different articulations of the Gimbri while keeping its organic feeling and warm sound. Traditionally played with the fingers, we recorded it muted, with a plec and through an amp to ensure a wide variety of tones. It comes with five presets, while the possibility of custom settings is kept open.

Join veteran instructor Thomas Cochran for an informative and inspiring Serum 2 video course in which you’ll learn how to build your very own patches from scratch, along with plenty of other useful tips. Along the way, Thomas covers many aspects of this formidable virtual instrument, such as send/return busses, wavetables, sampler modes, spectral oscillators, and more! By the end of this Serum 2 course, you’ll be ready to start designing custom sounds for your very next production. These Serum 2 videos are designed for Serum 2 users looking to step beyond stock presets and build their own patches. To begin, Thomas shows you how to create an 80’s-style brass lead sound by using the Serum 2 wavetables and sampler mode along with some filtering and effects. Then he demonstrates how the sampler modes, a spectral oscillator, compression, and chorus can be used to create a textured keys patch that can really liven up a track.

Axis 80 KONTAKT

FREE | 11 November 2015 | 1.63 GB

Richard Taylor sampled many analog synths and released the results into the Public Domain. bigcat instruments has started turning them into Kontakt instruments. Thanks to scripts and GUI from Mickaël Ménager, each synth will feature effects such as distortion and compression along with built in amp simulation. The first Taylor sampled synth, the Axis 80 has just been released. It has over 2500 samples and weighs in at a touch under 2 gigs compressed.

Cello Ibrida KONTAKT

Team ViP | 22 April 2025 | 4.21GB

Cello Ibrida contains different types of sampling and sound design techniques inside one advanced GUI. The concept relies on not focusing on a single traditional library concept but several that when combined will bring out modern sounds that retain an organic sound. A cello section was recorded to do “texture” articulations and multisample. From there we edited and processed a variety of sound design style patches to create low pulses, hybrid plucks, pads and sfx. Our matrix GUI contains a two layer system each with its own effects chain, LFOs, Sequencer and gate. But the magic happens in the performance matrix page where two macros, two envelope sequencers and velocity source modulators can be individually assigned to different master effects, chord maker and a detuner. This enables even the simplest of sounds to be continuously modulated and ever changing. Additionally, we added CC assignable inputs for crossfade, macro1/2 and LFO rate/amount to let composers modulate all these parameters in real time and thus, creating a great performance sound design instrument.

Terra Incognita KONTAKT

Team ViP | 12 April 2025 | 4.57GB

With over 75 instruments and sound sources plus years in the making, Terra Incognita is by far the most ambitious sample library from Marcos Ciscar Sampled Instruments. Here, you enter a world of its own with a blend of both rare and more traditional instruments all performed with a pre-hispanic touch inspired by ancient civilizations and the rainforest. Native flutes, world music instruments, stones, drums, human voices, ambient synths and ethereal sounds complemented with nature sounds from French Guiana, Costa Rica and Europe. Many of the instruments here are rare, hand built and not often sampled, if at all. Well, first and foremost it is a sound world that I’ve created. In the beginning, it was an unconscious process. I collected and sampled sounds that I liked. Then, it turned into both an album project and the development of a sample library. A sound collection that I intend to expand and develop further on in the future. Both projects fertilize each other. Some sounds were recorded with both projects in mind. Others were taken out from the album and developed into samples. Yet others started out as samples being used on the album.
