Bunker Samples was founded 5 years ago with the release of Bunker Strings Vol. 1, the innovative string texture library that lets users seamlessly vary the ensemble size on the fly.

Since then Bunker Samples has continued to explore unusual and creative ways to make virtual instruments with a focus on sounds and techniques that are off the beaten path – for example, its latest release – Intimate Viola “Iremia” – mounted a tiny microphone inside the viola itself, in addition to the traditional array of microphone perspectives.

To mark the five-year anniversary, Bunker Samples has launched a limited time sale.

During March 2024 everything is back to its original introductory price, including bundles, with discounts ranging from 26% to 49%. A special Anniversary Bundle containing the entire catalogue is also available for $225 (reg. $433). Buying more than one product will trigger an additional 10% discount on the entire cart.

Additionally, a new $1 Try-Pack lets customers explore at least one sound/articulation from every instrument in the catalogue with full, un-restricted functionality. It is the perfect way to get a solid feel for what the full versions sounds and plays like and highlights from the pack include a full organ register from The Harmonium, three articulations from Intimate Viola “Iremia” and a broad selection of sounds from Bunker Strings Vol. 1 and 2, including never-before-sampled guitar pick pizzicato.

The 3.3 GB Try-Pack is available to purchase for $1 USD at the Bunker Sounds store. It contains 2,102 samples, and runs in the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 6.7.1 or later.

Following the maxim “limit your options to become more creative”, anyone who buys the Try-Pack can enter in the Anniversary Competition for a chance to win the entire Bunker Samples catalogue. Simply write a track in any style or genre (maximum 90 seconds) using only the sounds in the Try-Pack and send it to competition@bunkersamples.com before the deadline.

  • Grand prize: The Anniversary Collection.
  • 2nd prize: Pick three libraries from the catalogue.
  • 3rd prize: Pick one library from the catalogue.

All entries will be entered into a prize draw for an additional grand prize, so everyone has a chance of winning. The competition deadline is March 31st, 2024, which is also the last day of the “back to intro price” sale.
