Stunning Multi-Sampled Glass Marimba for Kontakt

In Brazil, the glass marimba was popularized by Brazilian instrumental group UAKTI.

Its members have built hundreds of percussion instruments, among them the glass marimba to a greater extent.

Two types of mallets were used when recording the library, diversifying the textures and tones of the marimba. The library also contains chords, motifs and grooves as well as the single notes of the instrument, meaning its incredibly flexible.

Single Notes, Motifs, Chord Progressions, Ostinatos & Arpeggios

Two kinds of sticks (mallets) were used when recording this library. The first has a velvety sound and a smooth attack, while the second brings a brighter sound with more presence.

There are no artificially extended samples – each note has 8 velocities and all of them were separately sampled for more tone and performance.

The sampled glass marimba was created by the Luthier Warley Dyorman. Keeping the same pattern of creation made by Uakti, the marimba has a slightly larger key range, extending from E2 to the F#5.
