AudioThing has released Wood and MilkShake, two sample libraries for Native Instruments Kontakt.

AudioThing Wood

Wood is an organic material, found in plants, and used for many purposes such as making musical instruments. Many wooden instruments are idiophones, instruments where the vibration of the material itself is the main source of the sound.

Following this concept, Wood is a sample library made by sampling hits, collision or effects with wooden tools (sticks, claves, boards, drums, castanets, bowls and so on). The samples are then processed into different instruments ranging from tuned/untuned percussions, drum kits, hits/noises to sound textures and sound effects.

Wood features

  • 17 Kontakt Instruments (.nki).
  • 4 Kontakt Multis (.nkm).
  • 3 Round Robin and Velocity Layers for most samples.
  • Size: 88 MB installed.
  • Formats: Kontakt and .wav.
  • Sample resolution: 44.1Khz / 24Bit stereo.
  • Custom performance view.
  • Note: Native Instruments Kontakt 3.5 full retail version is required.

MilkShake combines the sounds of milk and sugar with the Waldorf microQ synthesizer.

AudioThing MilkShake

Have you ever wondered how a milkshake would sound like, if you could sample it? Now you can, with the new AudioThing instrument MilkShake! MilkShake lets you mix three basic ingredients, shake them, filter them and serve them with a nice matrix of effects ready to use. Everything at your fingertips inside a custom performance view. Milk and Sugar samples were carefully recorded using classic kitchen supplies. The Juice samples were, instead, narrowly sampled from a juicy Waldorf microQ sound designed patch. MilkShake it’s perfect for pads, tuned synth-percussions, textures, evolving effects, noises, and so on.
