Glockenspiel with Chunky Keys
Important Note: This is a software instrument designed for the full version of the NI Kontakt engine, and is not a physical product!
Toy Bars features samples from a forgotten musical toy. The instrument consists of a small glockenspiel operated by the chunky keys. The sounds were sampled with condenser and binaural microphones, with 5 round robin repetitions. The key release noises were sampled separately and can be adjusted to taste.
This library also includes hits on the back of the plastic case along with slowed down samples.
