Fracture Sounds – Blueprint Thumb Piano

Hand-held percussion instruments. Characterful kalimba with atmospheric textures. A dry recording of a vintage kalimba combined with our signature atmospheric layers.

About the instrument:

Thumb Piano is a dry recording of the distinctive kalimba, enhanced with three of our signature atmospheric layers for depth, texture, and cinematic charm. Each layer complements the instrument’s natural resonance, allowing you to easily create rich, evolving soundscapes or subtle, meditative textures.

The library’s appearance mirrors that of some of the tuned percussion instruments from our Zen: Meditations collection, making it instantly recognizable to users of this library and offering the opportunity to explore its wider palette.
