Hey guys,

I was wondering where I could find this marimba sound or if its a special synthesizer used to design it, because it sounds very specific.
Here are some examples:

starts at 1.34

starts 1.40

in the second track at 1.48 there is a metallica chord sound maybe its the same marimbas?? but that sound is also very interesting, if anyone has any info on any of these I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for your time

 

In the first video it sounds like Kalimba (also called a Thumb Piano, Sanza or Mbira). In the second one it is definitely vibraphone playing rather dissonant chord (it performs arpeggio-like riff before 1:58 too).

 

This one has some MARIMBA + KALIMBA sounds:
