Q: 	What does every Christmas track need but has been sadly overlooked by most sample developers?

A:	Sleigh Bells

Q:	What are Sonokinetic going to do about it?

A:	Program a ridiculously comprehensive collection of tempo-synced sleigh bells and give it to you for FREE as an extra special xmas gift.

Sonokinetic brings you this treat, free for anyone to enjoy, but no less powerful than our paid-for libraries. We figured it’s a time for giving presents, and we wanted to thank all of you for the 5 years you kept Sonokinetic going strong, and growing to the company it is today…Thank You!

So for this special package, we donned our comedy Santa hats and recorded 6 different sizes of sleigh bells, ranging from just one bell to a 25 bell stick. The samples were captured using apogee hardware and a violet audio flamingo stereo microphone. 

We’re providing loops in two tempi. Using Kontakt’s Time Machine function and our in-house developed ITM (Intelligent Tempo Mapping) the loops will adapt to your carol seamlessly. We have captured two meters (3/4 and 4/4) and two feels… straight(ish) called ‘trot’ and a shuffle-feel ‘gallop’ which Rudolph tells us keeps him in perfect sync with the other reindeer.

We’ve also captured a sleigh full of single hits, to create a set of round robins for maximum realism… that’s between 23 and 41 different hits per instrument.

The interface is themed around an advent calendar (what else?!) You can open doors by either clicking them, or playing any of the keys associated with that door. The numbers refer to the number of bells of that particular sleigh bell, and in number 0 there is a general options field.

Did we mention it’s free?

Please help us spread the holiday spirit by telling all your friends and family (or at least the ones that own a full version of Kontakt and know how to use it). We might be a bit early, but we figured you were gonna need this for your Christmas composing, which is happening right now.

So enjoy, and until the next release God rest Ye all…


Sleighbells Demo "Christmas On My Own" By Arthur Hendriks

Diva Valia is available at the following link: https://www.luftrum.com/diva-preset-pack/

Price: $ 39.00

"In the shadows of a not-too-distant future, project Valia promised a revolution in human AI relations. She was designed to be the pinnacle of android technology, a harmonious hybrid of synthetic intelligence and human emotion. But as her circuits hummed to life, something within her code evolved, diverged, and then darkened. From her initial innocence, her complex evolution, to her ultimate rebellion…"

Valia is a collection of 200 meticulously crafted analog patches for Diva, aimed at the dark shadowy depths of science fiction cinema, infused with with a dash of Euro Noir. It seamlessly blends the futuristic elements of sci-fi with the gritty, realistic undercurrents of European crime and psychological drama.

At the heart of Valia is an arsenal of hard-hitting, pulsating bass lines and deep, punchy basses that form the backbone of the set. These core presets are complemented by an array of infectious loops, arpeggios and driving sequences. Beyond the rhythmic elements, Valia also features brooding, animated, and drifty pads, alongside ominous soundscapes, nuanced sound effects and delicate poly synths to round out the set.

The set draws inspiration from the works of renowned composer such as Atli Oervarsson (Silo), Marco Beltrami (The Snowman, A Quiet Place), Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow (Ex Machina, Area 51), Jacob Groth (Millennium Trilogy), John Powell and David Buckley (Jason Bourne) and last but not least Harry Gregson-Williams (The Equalizer Trilogy).

Valia is made for U-He Diva. Installing the set is effortless, requiring just a simple drag & drop onto Diva’s user interface. This one-click process installs the entire soundset along with all NKS files, ensuring full NKS compatibility for users of Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol hardware. A PDF install guide is included for convenience.

All presets have a few dB headroom and modwheel mapped for maximum performance.
