“Performance” Baked In
Traditional “sampling” of instruments is rather straightforward: record the instrument being played from soft to hard.
But for tambourines and shakers, that approach will never come close to reproducing a life-like sound.
Instead, we recorded percussion performances, harvesting samples of...
Looking back at the genesis of modern music, there are different instruments that truly shaped the sound and feel of any given age and genre.
Without a doubt, one of these is the harpsichord.
With its full sound, charismatic and distinctive timbre it’s been a backbone of many composers’ works ever since the Baroque era,
spanning all the way up to the modern cinematic music.
Driven by the desire to capture every single tone color of this amazing instrument in detail,
we embarked on the journey of recording and creating an easily playable instrument,
while still preserving its character and its unique “voice”.
The content of the library was...
A fun-to-use MIDI-controlled effect with an inspiring workflow and Softube-quality sound
Featuring a six-voice polyphonic carrier synth with four selectable waveforms
Great for vintage vocoder sounds as well as creative experimentation
Developed by Bell Labs and used by the military to obscure voiced messages during World War II,
the vocoder has had a clandestine foothold in music culture since the 1970s.
With subtlety, or not, the vocoder appears on a parade of favorites from Electric Light Orchestra,
Imogen Heap, Daft Punk, Herbie Hancock, Kraftwerk, Beastie Boys, Laurie Anderson, Kanye West, Mogwai, and more.
Authentic replica of one of the most famous percussive instruments of our time

The realistic sounding virtual instrument, featuring various playing styles, was created in cooperation with handpan pioneer Wolfgang Ohmer.

Clavi Twin '78 captures the heart & soul of a vintage run-down Hohner Clavinet Pianet Duo, complete with scuffs, stains, and over 40 years of hard use and abuse.
This unique combo allowed keyboardists to blend the two instruments, or use the Pianet as a bass in the left hand while playing Clavi in the right.
Since both sets of strings lived inside the enclosure, this funkmaster was heavy (over 75 lbs)!
The Clavinet was designed in 1961 by German engineer Ernst Zacharias - he loved listening to Bach harpsichord music and created an amplified version for Hohner.
Music legends like Stevie Wonder made the Clavinet an icon, embracing the electric guitar-like tones while running it through distortion, tape echo, and phaser pedals.
