01Overview

Triple Shaker takes its inspiration from tá^= (maracas), a percussion instrument made from dried jícaro fruit shells. The developer notes that these maracas came in three forms, built from one, two or three groups of small jícaros, often gathered on beach trips. Sounds of the Earth has built the instrument around that world of natural shaker percussion, delivered as a Kontakt library with 184 sample files, 12 audio files and a choice of 8 microphone options. It is a 68MB download for Windows and macOS.
