The dry recording was done with a stereo pair of large-diaphragm condensers at 2 inches away in a very dry space. It’s one of our favorite secret locations, used for some parts of the Rust 2 library and several other instruments in our collection. We call our long hall “The Bunker”, because that’s exactly what it really is – a deep underground World War 1-era artillery bunker. We recorded kalimbas in 3 different environments: Close and Dry in our studio at medium distance in a small bright chamber and in a large, long linear hall, at both close (1 meter) and far (15 meters) microphone distances. The notes span about an octave and a half for the smaller of our two instruments and over two octaves for the larger kalimba. Our instruments were made of wood and coconut shell, with hammered steel tines suspended over their sound holes. It is often used in conjunction with pianos and other tuned percussion instruments to add a sharper attack and playfulness to the sound. It has a humble, melodious percussive plucking sound with a marimba-like warmth and tonal body. The Kalimba is a modernized version of the ancient African Mbira, also often called a thumb piano. All suppliers have been excellent with their tech help & Thomann have been superb with their service a well - I made the mistake of ordering SD3 Metal Foundry on DVD instead of download & Thomann have arranged for the return with no hassle & a superb approach (REALLY impressed as it was MY fault for clicking the wrong box - perils of late night ordering).Kalimba v3.0 KONTAKT P2P | 25 August 2021 | 1.95 GB I was concerned this would take days for a reply BUT they came straight back, were superb with their approach to the problem & I cannot recommend their attitude to customer service enough!!! I am running SD3 wit ha UA Apollo Twin on an iMac 2017 model. Point of mentioning this is that the Toontrack help line is email only from what I can gather. Not messed with the mixer much yet so will be interested to see how it compares against the Waves SSL 4000 plugins etc that I currently use but high hopes!!! - Additional note, had a slight issue with running this with Logic (which I think was probably user error.). Easy to use, brilliant sounds & pre-sets. This product is bang on!!! Wish it had been around 20 years ago. Supported formats: VST2 / AU / AAXnativeĪlways had trouble with programming my own drums for tracks.Expandable with Toontrack SDX / EZX expansions.
