Iron Pack 8 - Tuned Glass is a Kontakt instrument library built on a chromatically tuned set of hand-played water vase recordings. It is a percussion instrument with a bell-like timbre, a rounded attack and a crystalline sustain, developed by Soundiron.
Iron Pack 8 - Tuned Glass is part of Soundiron's Iron Pack series, a line of compact virtual instrument libraries for Kontakt and universal SFZ formats. The library is built on a tuned, chromatically recorded set of hand-played water vases. Soundiron describes the sound as crisp yet warm, with a rounded attack and a shimmering sustain. Beyond the main acoustic preset, the library includes eleven ambient pads, leads and atmospheres made from the same source recordings, along with a full effects rack.
The core of the library is a tuned glass vase instrument recorded chromatically, so it can be played across the keyboard. The main preset is a bell-like percussion sound with a warm attack and a crisp, shimmering sustain.
The eleven Ambience patches are built from the same raw recordings. They take the glass tones into pads, leads and atmospheres, which suits sound design and scoring work where the source timbre needs to be stretched or textured.
The instrument uses a multi-layer interface with LFO, filter, glide and arpeggiator controls. These let you shape movement and rhythm from the glass samples without leaving the instrument.
A full FX rack with convolution reverb is included, with custom rooms, halls, chambers and FX environments. Twenty sound-designed FX presets for Kontakt 5.5 and later are also included for quick starting points.

The library requires Native Instruments Kontakt. The .nki instrument presets need the full retail version of Kontakt 5.5 or later, because the free Kontakt Player does not support these open-format libraries.
It is available for Kontakt and runs on Windows 7 or higher and macOS 10.9 or higher. The developer recommends a dual-core CPU and 2 GB of system RAM.
Yes. The library includes 107 standard PCM WAV samples that can be used in any WAV-compatible environment. It also includes twelve SFZ presets for universal SFZ players.
The library takes up 402 MB once installed.
