Tonehammer has announced the Tonehammer Composer Bundle #7, a collection featuring two massive choral libraries, Requiem Pro and Liberis.
Requiem Pro is a full big sounding symphonic choir library recorded in a massive cathedral in San Francisco. Liberis is a more angelic/ethereal type of choral library made of younger singers recorded in a gorgeous church in Bay Area.

The libraries both come in 3 microphone positions (stage/close, mid and far) and have surrounded (5.1) capabilities if needed.

Tonehammer has released Small Epic Percussion Volume 2, the latest in Tonehammer’s line of epic percussion libraries.
This collection of small orchestral percussion meshes with any of our other “Epic” libraries. The focus this time was on multiple articulations for a variety of different small drums, including ol’-reliable, the snare drum. We found a pair of miniature open-body snare drums with a rather unique crack to them. We also recorded a few more eclectic percussive instruments, including several small tamborims in different sizes and tunings. We also found several unusual custom instruments, such as a giant spring cymbal, odd steel water-chambered hand percussion instruments and a modified steel air tank.
Small Epic Percussion Vol 2 features
- 1,432 samples, 24 bit / 44.1 kHz stereo PCM wav format (939 MB installed).
- 72 Kontakt .nki files.
- Articulations: 5″ Tamborim, 6″ Tamborim, 7″ Tamborim, 6″ Mini Open-Body Snare Drum, 7″ Mini Open-Body Snare Drum, 40″ Spiral Cymbal, Water Triangle, Water Ring-Block, Step Tuned Steel Rack, Air Tank, Tons of drum and drum spiral effects.
- Each instrument type and variation deep sampled in multiple strike positions, in ensemble and solo sets, as well as special effects and rolls.
- Requires Kontakt +3.5 full retail version.
Small Epic Percussion Vol 2 is available to purchase for the introductory price of $39 USD until 1 January, 2011 (regular $49 USD).

Tonehammer has kicked off this year’s Gnomehammer season, offering various free virtual instruments until Christmas.
We have all received poor xmas gifts in life … whether it was handmade insults like socks or sweaters, a low-carb cooking book or a set of meditation tapes.
Gnomehammer is proud to follow this lackluster tradition by regifting last years entire Gnomehammer fruitcake collection for free until December 25th 2010.
This strange collection of quasi-musical oddities was mostly captured in one epic recording session somewhere around Thanksgiving im 2009 at the Tonehammer studio, involving lots of Belgian beer, balloons, helium, oxygen deprivation, us and a few of our closest friends. While there is a bit of a winter or even some sort of pseudo-Christmas theme running through this library, it’s definitely intended to fitin well with content from Tonehammer’s Antidrum and Mini series of libraries. The library includes a wide range of comedic sounds from authentic helium choir (yeah – we sucked down a whole tank of 2He) to drum kits from snow- and ice sounds – from human beat box through PVC ensembles to manipulation of childrens balloons – from glockenspiel to sleighbells etc.
Microhammer “Gnomehammer”
