Soniccouture has launched version 2 of Morpheus, a percussion instrument library for Native Instruments Kontakt.
Morpheus is the first in a series of NKS reboots. The complete upgrade comes with three KSP generative sequencers, performance tools and a full effects setup, making this an ambient percussion powerhouse.
Named after the Greek god of dreams, the Morpheus is an aluminum percussion instrument made by the US company Freenotes.
The instrument is modular; the keys can be rearranged in any order you like, as each metal bar is attached to its own tuned resonator.
The aluminium gives Morpheus one of the purest percussion sounds you will hear – add tremolo and it sounds very much like a vibraphone, but with an extra ‘glass-like’ quality.
