Alto Glockenspiel Black Friday pricing is 50% off, which puts this Soundiron tuned percussion library for Kontakt at $14.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
It captures a compact 25-key alto glockenspiel, the kind of instrument you find in student orchestras. The real instrument covers A4 to A6.
The library stretches the playable range from A-1 to G8, so you can reach extreme highs and lows the physical bars never could.
The glockenspiel was recorded with 3 articulations: hard mallet, soft mallet and choked. Each one has several dynamic layers and plenty of round-robin variation, so repeated notes don't machine-gun.
Soundiron also rolled in its little children's toy glockenspiel library as a bonus.
There are two mic perspectives. One is a close, dry stereo position. The other is a far, wide position in a large cathedral.
Articulation and mic sets load and control independently, so you can layer a dry soft-mallet close take under a hard-mallet cathedral tail.
The custom Kontakt interface gives you layer-specific controls:
The step-sequencing arpeggiator and auto-roll system sit on top of that. The arpeggiator has custom dynamic modes and step sequencer pattern creation.
A full rack of Kontakt's onboard multi-effects is included. So is a selection of Soundiron's convolution reverb impulses: cathedrals, churches, halls, bunkers, garages, tunnels, chambers and rooms, plus plenty of otherworldly FX spaces.
The library also ships with sound-designed textural ambiences and custom FX presets. Soundiron made them by processing the source sounds, and says they suit cinematic underscoring and sound design.
You need the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later. The free Kontakt Player and the Add Library import process don't support this open-format library.
