Add texture and nuance to your tracks with a FREE collection of 13 heirloom hand percussion instruments: shakers, claves, rattles, djembe and more. Heritage Percussion also debuts a new, improved drum engine for easy use and more detailed editing.
Heritage Percussion captures the energy of live performance with 13 hand percussion instruments from around the world. This detailed collection is perfect for acoustic applications but versatile enough to add folk-inspired texture anywhere you need it. Instruments include:
Each drum has 10x round robin variations and 5x dynamic layers, making it simple for you to perform or sequence lively, expressive "aux" rhythm parts.
We’ve also revamped the Kontakt engine behind our percussion instruments. Heritage Percussion is the first library to debut this beautiful, inspiring new UI that allows for both easy editing and in-depth tweaks. Using our new drum engine, you’re able to individually adjust each drum's tone, envelope, pitch, and mapping to suit your workflow.
Plus, with our newly-improved CONSOLE FX rack & mixer (more info below), you can create the perfect mix — complete with EQ, reverb, compression, and spatial effects — without using any external plugins!
Now upgraded for Kontakt 6.4, Console is our new mixer, modular effects rack, and pedal board, designed to give you full control over your instrument tone. Console gives you 35 effects modules to choose from!
These include multiple EQs (digital and analog-style), compressors, spatial FX, modulation FX, amps, distortion pedals, reverbs, and a selection of over 30 custom cabinet IRs! These cabs cover all the most important sounds you would want, with both dynamic & condenser mics in multiple positions plus a ribbon mic for certain models.
