Discover the hidden sounds of steel. Parallelogram is a boutique Kontakt library of industrial sculptures turned into playable cinematic instruments. Bowed, struck, and scraped for infinite inspiration.
Parallelogram features recordings of metallic sculptures and objects. From colorful hits to soaring bowed pitches.
Flavourful Kontakt samples from Haunted stingers to soaring bowed pitches, eerie textures and disturbed percussion
Cosmic sounding hits and strikes, spooky bowed pitches, and subharmonic friction coos.
Bored of your taiko drums? Parallelogram offers sculptural metal sounds recorded with contact mics for an internal, immersive character.
A variety of techniques were used to trigger different sounds. Including striking the sculptures at different points with sticks and mallets, bowing them with rosined bows, and rubbing to create friction sounds.
SPECS:
- Outlandish and peculiar sounds from metal
- 2548 samples
- Upto 3 mic signals
- Upto 15 velocity layers X 3rr
- Channel strips on each signal
- Customisable output routing
- Mighty sound-shaping tools
- Eccentric soundscapes
- Weird, wonderful and otherworldly sounds
→ With a combination of LOM GeoFon og AKG C411PP contact microphones, raucous vibrations from the deepest metal cores were captured.
// CHANNEL STRIPS
Every mic signal features a dedicated channel strip. Route your mics to individual tracks in your DAW or use our built-in EQ.
The Sculpt Menu houses pre-tweaked XY settings that allow you to morph between randomized textures and serial-connected evolving sound design. Very cool for creating suspenseful undercurrents that never repeat exactly the same way.
Patches range from experimental ambiences, drones, pads, effects, and spoingy metal clashes and hits.

Research into sound
Research Into The Core of Metal
Our instruments begin with curiosity. And the this library is a good example of that.
What happens if we bow this?
Break this?
Slow this down?
Send this through something it was never meant for?
Parallelogram lives in those questions.
“There’s an undeniable cinematic feel to the library.” It is a freely recorded collection of metallic resonations that have resulted in pads, leads, hits, cinematic metal impacts and a diverse collection of atmospheric elements. The objects were twisted, struck, stroked, bowed or scraped to produce sound.
