Harmonette

Harmonette virtual instrument is a free harmonette and harmonica sound bank for Kontakt, by Embertone.

The Harmonette is an antique instrument, a cross between a recorder, harmonica and a melodica. And it’s somewhere between 60-80 years old.

The Christmas-like colors inspired us to offer the Harmonette as an EXCLUSIVE Facebook Fan instrument… so make sure to get on Facebook and “Like” us before the morning of December 25th. The window of opportunity to download this will be from December 25th – January 1st, at which point it will be taken off of our servers.

Handclap Boss

Handclap Boss virtual instrument is a free drums sound bank for Kontakt, by Sample Katra.

The Handclap Boss is a Kontakt interpretation of the Boss HC2 hand clapper (1984). Our interpretation includes the same original controls but adds some enhanced tone-shaping features to bring this overlooked classic in line with modern music production and workflows.

While claps is the main game here, we’ve got plenty of useful whistles, pops, clicks & whooshes to make this a versatile companion to our Percussion Boss. We sampled eleven round-robins to capture plenty of nuance and bring as much Katra of the original instrument as we thought practical. Grab it now. It’s free.

Scripting by Mario Krušelj.

Gobbler

Gobbler virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Kontakt, by Embertone.

Gobbler is a strange & silly virtual instrument. The sound is like nothing you’ve ever heard, and possibly nothing you’d ever want to hear: 5 adults gobbling into a microphone. The more you play, the faster Gobbles the turkey will run.

This instrument is free, however, donations will benefit an amazing organization: The Global Fund For Children. This nonprofit collective is one of the most reputable and effective in the world… providing life-giving support for the most vulnerable people in the world: KIDS.

So consider donating to a worthy cause and receive an instrument that is incredibly fun to play.
