The Soundiron Mini Saron is an amazing multi - sampled tuned percussion library. It captures the essence of a tiny toy saron, a traditional Indonesian instrument used in gamelan. We used mallets and hammers to play 8 of its metal bars, exploring every sound nuance. Recorded from two microphone positions, it has 10 round robins and up to 10 velocity layers per note. We also added a variety of ambient soundscapes and creative sound design techniques. The Kontakt interface offers automation - ready sound - shaping controls for total creative freedom, including swell, attack, and more. There are 20 unique custom FX presets. It comes with an adaptable LFO system, 12 filters, a customizable arpeggiator, and a key - scale lock system. The modular FX rack panel has 18 DSP effect modules. This library is for Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later, with many features for sound shaping. It's a standard open - format library, and the sample directories are unlocked for other wav - compatible software.
Using the Soundiron Mini Saron library is a breeze. First, make sure you have Native Instruments Kontakt Full 5.5 or later installed on your Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OSX 10.9 or higher system with at least 2GB of RAM and a dual - core CPU or better. Since the free Kontakt Player only supports it in limited 'demo mode', use the full version for the best experience. To load the library, use the standard File browser tab and import it into the Kontakt Quickload window. You can then start exploring the various sound - shaping controls. Adjust the swell, attack, and other parameters to create your unique sounds. The 20 custom FX presets are a great place to start for some creative options. When it comes to the LFO system, select the shape, target parameter, and speed to add modulation to your sounds. For the filters, choose from 12 types and assign modulation targets like velocity or key position. The arpeggiator is customizable, so play around with the direction, timing, and swing. Remember, this is a digital product delivered via the Amazon S3 cloud network, so you need a broadband internet connection. And for the best performance, use a SATA or SSD hard drive. There's no special maintenance needed for this digital library, but keep your Kontakt software updated to ensure compatibility and access to new features.
