Sonic Zest has returned with another Kontakt instrument library.
Bowed Marimba brings the sounds of the Yamaha YM 6000 marimba percussion instrument recorded with a cello bow.
The sound of bowing instantly makes it appear orchestral at first, but then you soon hear a slowly evolving glassy tone appear from underneath. Playing chords and adding reverb makes the sound of a bowed marimba become almost like a chamber choir.
The library is available from Sonic Zest, priced $16 USD until January 24th, 2021. The regular price is $32 USD. It requires the full version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or higher.
