Machine Tribes is a percussion instrument for Kontakt by Iamlamprey, built around combined real and synthesized drum sounds, big hits, glitches, loops and one-shots. It is designed to accentuate and augment existing drums rather than serve as a primary percussion instrument.
Machine Tribes is a Kontakt library themed around a dystopian future in which robots emulate the music humans once made. The developer combines real samples with synthesized drums, big hits, glitches, loops and one-shots. The instrument is aimed at dark and futuristic tracks, and at producers who want intricate percussion layered over the drums they already have. It requires the full version of Kontakt.
Iamlamprey describes Machine Tribes as a percussion library that mixes real samples with synthesized drums. The sounds span big hits, glitches, loops and one-shots, which gives the library a mechanical, futuristic character.
The samples are professionally produced and processed, and the library includes built-in effects for further shaping the sounds.
The instrument is organized into four primary sections: Main Hits, Extra Perc, Glitches and Extra Hits. Loops and one-shots work together to augment the core hits.
The loops are tempo-synced to your DAW, so they lock to your project tempo. The interface is automatable, so you can draw movement for the effects and parameters within your host.
