Glass: Crystalline Glass Sample Instrument for Kontakt

The samples were recorded from a wine glass found at a flea market. Hits were captured with fingers, a piano hammer, a metal stick and the palm of the hand. The developer also recorded wet fingers moving around the rim and small screws dropped into the goblet.

The instruments are built around a bright, crystalline tone with long sustain. The developer also used slowed-down, processed hits to create atmospheric pads, so the library covers both percussive and sustained textures.

Glass includes 10 Kontakt instruments (.nki) and 7 Kontakt multis (.nkm), giving you single-patch sounds and layered setups. Round robin is used on hits, with up to 10 samples per sound, and up to 3 velocity layers help the playing dynamics respond to how hard you hit the key.

The sample sets are grouped by sound source, so you can choose finger hits, metal hits, piano hammer hits, palm hits, screw hits or wet fingers depending on the texture you want. The library takes up 387 MB on disk.
