AMA I Textures Bundle: Amazon-Recorded Kontakt Textures by Sounds of the Earth

The library focuses on textures rather than conventional melodic instruments. The developer describes the sounds as inspired by animal calls, sounds from the rainforest and the sounds of native instruments. Several instruments imitate specific wildlife, such as the call of a monkey, frogs, crickets and birds. Others reproduce water, rain and wind-like movement.

The developer says the instruments were recorded with 3 to 5 microphones, so you can choose a wide, ambient character for background beds or a close sound with more definition for foreground detail. Blending the microphone positions lets you shape the space around each texture.

Each instrument offers a choice of microphone positions, which gives you control over distance and detail without loading separate instruments. The interface is described as clean, so the main controls are easy to reach during composition.

Because the library runs in Kontakt, it fits into any project that already uses Kontakt. You will need the full version of Kontakt 6 or later. The free Kontakt Player will not run the library and will fall back to demo mode.
