Q: What does every Christmas track need but has been sadly overlooked by most sample developers?
A: Sleigh Bells
Q: What are Sonokinetic going to do about it?
A: Program a ridiculously comprehensive collection of tempo-synced sleigh bells and give it to you for FREE as an extra special xmas gift.

Sonokinetic brings you this treat, free for anyone to enjoy, but no less powerful than our paid-for libraries. We figured it’s a time for giving presents, and we wanted to thank all of you for the 5 years you kept Sonokinetic going strong, and growing to the company it is today…Thank You!

So for this special package, we donned our comedy Santa hats and recorded 6 different sizes of sleigh bells, ranging from just one bell to a 25 bell stick. The samples were captured using apogee hardware and a violet audio flamingo stereo microphone.

We’re providing loops in two tempi. Using Kontakt’s Time Machine function and our in-house developed ITM (Intelligent Tempo Mapping) the loops will adapt to your carol seamlessly. We have captured two meters (3/4 and 4/4) and two feels… straight(ish) called ‘trot’ and a shuffle-feel ‘gallop’ which Rudolph tells us keeps him in perfect sync with the other reindeer.

We’ve also captured a sleigh full of single hits, to create a set of round robins for maximum realism… that’s between 23 and 41 different hits per instrument.

The interface is themed around an advent calendar (what else?!) You can open doors by either clicking them, or playing any of the keys associated with that door. The numbers refer to the number of bells of that particular sleigh bell, and in number 0 there is a general options field.

Did we mention it’s free?

Please help us spread the holiday spirit by telling all your friends and family (or at least the ones that own a full version of Kontakt and know how to use it). We might be a bit early, but we figured you were gonna need this for your Christmas composing, which is happening right now.

So enjoy, and until the next release God rest Ye all…

Nice, but too much hassle to download - wait for a 'free' release then.

 

Time left to download: 71 hours and 60 minutes

Sleigh Bells

 

Thanks, I didn't find the direct download.

 

sick of these bullshit sample libraries and all you kontakt sluts.

I think someone should develop a plugin for Kontakt called ballsacks vst so everyone who uses the player can lick the nutsack as a symbol of complete submissiveness.

The nutsack could have two knobs as well, one for each nut. Both of them compress and expand with vintage sperm colorisation...

 

awwww, somebody needs a hug.

 

awww somebody took the comment seriously...

too much kontakt man, it's starting to get worse than apps for that. fuck...
