Product Description
An
expressive Jazz vibraphone library built for Kontakt & Decent Sampler.
Soundiron’s Jazz Vibraphone
gives you the most expressive and versatile virtual vibraphone library
available, designed to capture the warmth, swing, and subtlety of a masterfully
played instrument. We worked in close collaboration with Pearl USA, who
provided hand-selected frames, custom bars and signature mallets. We recorded
two different vibraphones in stunning detail: a 4-octave Adams Alpha with gold
anodized bars, and a vintage Musser. This collection delivers the authentic
sound and feel jazz vibraphonists demand - lush resonance, singing sustain, and
the full range of tonal colors that make the vibes such a unique voice in jazz.
Whether you’re
laying down a smoky ballad, comping behind a soloist, or driving a
hard-swinging uptempo groove, this 53GB library provides the tools to shape
your sound with complete flexibility. You’ll find a variety of mallet choices
and microphone positions—hard and soft mallets, open and damped articulations,
close and ribbon microphones, so you can dial in exactly the tone and movement
your music calls for.
With up to 6
round robin and 9 velocity layers per note, we recorded each bar with
precision. We placed our microphones close to the bars for maximum intimacy and
presence, giving you the same clarity and nuance you’d hear standing right next
to the instrument on stage. Intuitive controls for layering, shaping, and motor
speed let you craft anything from a clean, straight-ahead jazz combo sound to
lush modern textures that blur the line between tradition and innovation.
This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with
selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity,
tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass,
high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity,
modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table
control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over
arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key
and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for
easy melodic composition and live performance.
