“Glass Percussion For Kontakt” features a variety of glass sounds, including clinks, clanks and clunks. As well as textural variations that we call “Klirr”.
Recorded in a drumbooth, capturing the nuanced nuances of glass as it’s struck, struck, and struck again. This sample-library explores a wide array of straight-forward glass strokes. Focusing on their clean innate characteristics, without attempting to create any larger musical structures.
This sample library embarks on an exploration of the niche world of glass clink sounds, celebrating their intrinsic qualities without the need for grand musical architectures.

It also includes some different glass-river textures and soundscapes made by bowing, trembling and tapping on several glasses simultaneously.

Sounds from various empty glasses in different size and shapes. And with a clear sound quality that makes it easy to blend into different styles of music or percussion sections.
Different mic positions allows for placing and adjusting the instruments to your mix.
The “Glass Percussion” user interface is intuitive and easy to play with advanced options behind all the controls
There is also a little collection of glass “river” texture instruments, made by bowing, tapping or trembling. These are flimatic instruments that can colour and texture your music in tactile ways. And if you start up the FX engine, you can create ever- evolving glass-river-like oddities.
The [FX] button on the bottom row, opens a scripted effect bonanza. It will give you countless ways of morphing your sounds and combining various, sometimes randomised, parameters with a XY pad.
QUICK TIP :
Because of the transient (sometime static) nature of glass-clinks, the ““random sample-start button” is a great tool to colour the sounds further, and to create variation. [RND]
Samples are mapped to pitch, so you may use them as melodic percussion, as well as bright perc or deep clanks.
The library includes many of presets with a wide dynamic range. You can put them to use in your rhythm section right away, or explore what happens when you engage with the in-built inspiring sound-sculpting engine.
bonus IR pack, made for “light” percussion instruments and sounds,
Glass responds really nicely to the delicate strokes and hits. Short taps or strikes blend seamlessly on top of other percussions, helping create a richer tapestry of beats.
