Egyptian Darabuka (Lite) V1.1

Egyptian Darabuka (Lite) V1.1 virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Kontakt and Exs24, by Mahmoud Altaf.

This is a sample library of a beautiful Darabuka that I’ve received as a gift and thought it would make a great addition to use in my projects, especially since I’ve sampled certain articulations that I mostly use. This Darabuka was recorded with 4 dynamic layers per articulation and with 2 dynamic layers for the rolls. I haven’t recorded any RRs, but you’ll find that there are enough articulations and velocity layers to create a fairly realistic performance with it.

The Darabuka was captured in mono using the AKG 420 Perception microphone, which really brought out the clarity of the instrument while retaining the body. I’ve included a MIDI file performance using the instrument, which will give you an idea of how to use the instrument.

I’ll be further expanding on this instrument in the future by recording lots of Round Robins than I originally did, more articulations, and a couple more mic positions. In the meantime, please enjoy using this simple but articulate instrument.

E-Ukulele (free)

E-Ukulele (free) virtual instrument is a free ukulele sound bank for Kontakt, by audiowiesel.

We sampled an electronic ukulele (Les Paul model) from Epiphone. At the beginning it was just a fun project and we kept adding new sample content for private use only. Now, we decided to make this available to the public as free download in order to let everybody use this in their own productions.

All samples in E-Ukulele are mixed totally dry in order to give you the greatest amount of flexibility. This way you have total freedom of spatial placement and the role E-Ukulele plays in your production (like a melodic or background instrument).

We hope that you have at least the same amount of fun we experienced with this instrument. Use it, abuse it and please share your work with us and the public and talk about our libraries with your friends.

Important note: In order to use E-Ukulele you have to have the full version of Native Instruments’ Kontakt 5.3 (or higher). This library does not work with the free Kontakt Player.

Main features:

2 nki patches: Standard and Chords.

Standard: 11x round robin per note per velocity, 4 velocity layers.

Chords: 14x round robin per chord per velocity (7x down-stroke, 7x up-stroke), 4 velocity layers.

10 different chord structures available on every root tone: major, major6, major (-7), major7, major9, minor, minor6, minor (-7), sus2, sus4 and also dead notes.

Total size 1.2 GB.
