EXs203 Tuned & Tonal Percussion Collection - Kronos

EXs203 "The Tuned & Tonal Percussion Collection - Kronos" is a compendium of beautifully-produced tuned percussion instruments for the Korg Kronos/Nautilus.

This library features a dozen expertly recorded and programmed multi-sampled instruments designed to be played with hands, mallets and hammers, offering a wide and diverse palette of enchanting tones.

It includes a 25-key Alto Glockenspiel, 18 tuned Indonesian bamboo rattles (aka “Angklung”), a chromatic Indonesian bamboo log drum (aka “Bamblong”), forged steel Blossom Bells (aka “Circle Bells”), a huge hand-built large diameter bass and treble Tubulum (aka “Cylindrum”), 88 steel-hammered grand piano strings, a classic thumb piano (aka “Kalimba”), a finely-detailed music box, rustic bronze alloy Indian Khadki Bells (aka “Noah Bells”), a hand-crafted steel tank tongue drum with hauntingly dark overtones (aka “Steel Tones”), a richly resonant large wooden box slit drum (aka “Whaledrum”) and an array of tuned wine glasses.

Each instrument has been sampled with round robin and velocity layering to capture its natural essence in a dynamic, fully-playable and easy-to-use preset. Some instruments were recorded in a dry studio, while others were captured in a bright, lush recording hall, with carefully selected microphone models and positions to present each one in the most musical way, for out-of-the-box usability.

We also provide flexible parameter control to shape attack and release to give you the ability to reshape the characteristics of each preset to fit your needs. This collection also includes dozens of musically useful and inspiring FX patches that explore the broad creative possibilities and compelling flavors that these instruments each have to offer.

Soundiron’s Tuned & Tonal Percussion Collection is a 734 MB library that includes 2,144 samples, with 36 Chromatic Tuned Percussion Presets, 44 Custom Sound-Designed Special FX Presets, and 58 Wave Sequence FX Presets.
