Alive Cymbals is the first in the new series of 'Alive' instruments for Kontakt, developed by sound designer and composer Nicolas Signat.

Alive Cymbals has been created from a set of 8 cymbals recorded with Audio Technica mics and Nagra LB recorders and preamps in 88,2kHz 24 bit, edited in the same resolution and then down sampled into 44,1kHz 24 bit with Izotope SRC.

Recorded in a warm room in stereo (close position), the sound is raw, vibrant, accurate, and extremely musical.

Main Features:
  • > Wuhan 27" china
    > Zildjian 20" K Custom Dark Ride
    > Meinl 18" Byzance Extra Dry China
    > Paiste 16" Twenty Crash
    > Meinl 14" Byzance Thin Crash
    > Sabian 10" Evolution Splash
    > Paiste 2002 Cup Chime 5"
    > Paiste 2002 Cup Chime 5.5"
Recorded closely with stick, brush, mallet and/or bow with full sustain (download the manual for full details)
  • > Several round robins and velocity layers (3-4 of each, average).
    > Attack & Release controls for all patches
    > Fx reverb for all the basic patches.
    > 12 sound designed instruments with weird pianos, bells, pads, sci-fi fx with modwheel control.
    > Custom GUIs with photos of the cymbals.
    > 44,1kHz 24 bit stereo files, originally recorded in 88,2kHz with Nagra recorder and preamps.
    > 388 files, 1,30GB uncompressed, (982MB zip file)
    > For Kontakt 4 and above with all wav files available separately.
Will not work with the free Kontakt Player.

The files are locked in NCW format - it keeps the file size down to use Kontakt's compression format...Sorry.

I'm sure we could send the wavs separately for people that may be interested in just the wavs.

Version 1.5 is now online...

Version 1.5 contains a new nki with all the cymbals mapped across the keyboard so it is now possible to play the entire range of cymbals without having to load the multi.

The preview is the instruction manual - Maybe we should have made that clearer...

Aha OK

This library is perfectly titled, "Alive Cymbals." They are full of life . . . punchy and clear. Excellent Value. Thank you, Sampleism and Nicolas Signat for creating a much needed cymbal sample library. Has "Alive Drums" been released? Gotta get them!
