The cheerful strums of the cavaquinho make for the perfect bed upon which lie the soulful melodies of the fado guitar.
Fado Guitar
Traditionally performed in the dark city squares of Coimbra and Lisbon,
fado is always accompanied by the metallic plucks and graceful slides of this special and timeless lute guitar.

Hi Fives features the streamlined magical anatomy of Soundiron founder Mike Peaslee,
who recorded over 9,000 samples of body, hand and mouth percussion in two microphone positions and up to 16 velocity layers.
Body articulations include arm, chest, belly, thigh, and cheek slaps with up to 12 round robin. That’s slapping yourself silly.
Hands cover snaps, flicks, claps, punches, swipes, and scrub sustains, while Mouth includes clicks, pops, swishes,
tongue drops, lip tweedles, spit, kiss, smack, gasp, exhale, grunt, heave, and an entire mouth-made drumkit. Sorry, no butt cheeks in this one.
All of the articulations can be performed in ensemble, remapped, and randomized to create an army of Peaslees.
This comprehensive human ham-bone beatbox features extensive round robin variation and deep dynamic velocity layering to give you ultimate realism,
like you’re playing this body percussion yourself.
Crotales are rare orchestral percussion instruments not often used in classical music,
the instrument sampled for this library ranging from C5 – C7 (C3 – C5 in classical terms).
Tuned chromatically its distinct and very bright bell-like sound cuts through even at low velocities.
For this soundset the instrument was multi-sampled with 2 articulations, bowed (violin bow) and beaten (special mallets with a metallic tip).
There are also tempo-synced loops, improvised textures and tremolos,
these samples were then used as a starting point for producing tonal soundscapes, musical beds and more experimental sound textures,
often involving Falcon’s multi-granular oscillator and combining it with FM, pluck, wave-table and analog synth oscillators.
OBLIQUE is a Kontakt instrument off the beaten path.
A broken, haunting, sometimes terrifying yet an incredibly expressive cello instrument.
This is most definitely not the instrument you want to create beautiful, epic, soaring melodies
— it is a nasty beast, one that latches onto the dark corners of the mind and doesn’t let go.
We recorded master cellist Sonia Bruno taking her instrument to the absolute extremes,
from the utmost pianissimo super sul tasto to the most brutal bowing we’ve ever heard,
creating sheer insanity and aggression.
