Toy Marimba: Wood and Bamboo Kontakt Instrument by AudioThing

The core of the library is a set of mallet hits recorded with wood and bamboo mallets. Up to three velocity layers and up to three round robin repetitions give each hit some variation when played repeatedly, which helps avoid the static, machine-like repetition common to simple sample playback.

The set also includes glissandos running up and down at three speeds, as well as slides. These are useful for adding quick rising or falling figures to a part without programming them note by note.

Slowed-down samples are included for wooden and airy textures, giving you material that sits closer to ambient or atmospheric beds than to pitched melodic playing.

The package has 6 Kontakt instruments (.nki) and 4 Kontakt multis (.nkm). Instruments hold individual sound programs, while multis combine them into layered or split setups you can load as a single unit.

Seven custom reverb impulse responses are included, so you can place the instrument in a space without loading a separate convolution library. The total sample count is 291 at 44.1kHz and 24-bit resolution.

The library is distributed in Kontakt and WAV formats, so the WAV files can be used outside Kontakt if you need the raw samples.
