01Overview

Bombo Leguero is built around a drum from Andean traditions, a membranophone with a cylindrical resonating body that is usually played with mallets. The developer describes this version as a unique build made from recycled materials, with two stretched canvas heads tightened by cords around hoops that are thinner than usual. The library is delivered as a Kontakt instrument and is meant for producers who want a deep, percussive low end drawn from a traditional source.

Sound and Sample Content

The instrument ships with 1230 Kontakt sample files and 78 audio files, giving a broad set of material to work with. Sounds of the Earth describes the sound as distinctly deep, which is the character the drum is known for in its original context.

Nine Kontakt microphone options let you choose how the drum is captured, so you can shape the balance between close, punchy tones and a more open, resonant character inside your mix.
