Toontrack – MELODIC PERCUSSION – METAL EKX (SOUNDBANK)

Bergerault vibraphone BV35 and Glockenspiel Bergerault KG25S Includes 2 vibraphone options and a glockenspiel.

This EKX for EZkeys 2 includes two essential instruments when it comes to melodic percussion: the vibraphone and the bell. Heard not only in countless classical arrangements, but also in all genres of popular music, these staple instruments of the metallophone family have become two indispensable tools for audio creators everywhere.

The vibraphone, with its bright tremolo and sustained, colorful metallic tone, boasts a strikingly distinct character. Likewise, the glockenspiel, with its curious ringing and bright, bell-like sound, simply has a unique harmonious voice that can break through into any musical context. Without a doubt, if you are looking for percussion and melodic instruments with an extraordinary ability to carry melodies that sing, ring and soar, these two gems are a must-have.

To record the instruments, Toontrack’s sound design team returned to the same facility where the core library of Superior Drummer 3 and Orchestral Percussion SDX were recorded; Galaxy Studio. Built with unparalleled attention to detail and able to withstand virtually any noise interference from the outside world, this is the epitome of a studio for sampling delicate instruments of this kind.

To provide flexibility for use in everything from full-scale and orchestral to intimate and natural, the setup used to record the two instruments includes an array of 17 individual microphones. The final product uses these microphones to provide ready-made presets showcasing instruments in every imaginable mix, key and color. Additionally, the vibraphone was recorded in both the main hall and the small room of Studio 1, and sampled using hammers and a violin bow, giving you three completely opposite tonal takes. In addition to the instruments themselves, this EKX also includes a core MIDI library, allowing you to start creating from the very beginning.

If you’re looking to infuse your EZkeys 2 with a vibrant and vibrant EKX that can be adapted into any context, from orchestra to singer-songwriter, jazz, rock, electronica and pop, this is the one that should top your list.
