Magical Toy Keyboard
Important Note: This is a software instrument designed for the full version of the NI Kontakt engine, and is not a physical product!
Years ago we used to do circuit bending and we had many little toy keyboards around. This one was perfect for 8bit and chiptunes genres or just for fun. A little custom GUI let you choose to extend the original range of the instrument and to enable velocity to control the volume of the instrument. There is, also, a low pass filter (just 1 pole) to cut unwanted noise from original samples. The rhythms patch has each rhythm mapped to the white keys (just like the original) and they are tempo-synced to your DAW/sequencer.

- 25 Patches
- 12 Rhythms
- 248 Samples (44.1Khz / 24Bit)

1. Download the compressed .zip folder from your User Account and double-click it to reveal the installer file.
2. Extract and save the software folder e.g ‘AudioThing_TankDrum’ to a memorable computer destination of choice, e.g 'Documents' or on an external hard drive.
3. Launch Kontakt and click the ‘File’ tab that is located at the top left corner of its interface.
4. Navigate to the computer destination where you extracted/saved the software folder to, and double-click the ‘AudioThing_TankDrum’ > then ‘Instruments’ folder to open the .nki files within Kontakt.
Note: Refer to step 2 of the installation process if you are unable to locate the folder.
5. Double-click the individual .nki instruments to load them into Kontakt’s interface.
Notes:
- Kontakt will ask for the new path the first time you run the instrument
- It is advisable to preserve the internal folder structure, but you can also place the instruments and samples into separate folders
