Antidrum Machine Black Friday deals knock 50% off Soundiron's Kontakt library of found sounds, toys, junk and machines, which lands at $74.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
The maker calls it a compendium of alternative instruments and experimental percussion. Sources range from booming bass hits to tight clicks, clacks, zips, zings, ticks and tocks.
It folds in everything from Soundiron's Antidrum 1, 2 and 3 libraries. It also carries Cathedral of Junk, Luftballoon, Luminabells, PVC Beatbox Ensemble and Snow Drums, plus a large batch of new toys and sound sources made only for this release.
The reverb IRs cover Cathedral, Chamber, Large Room, Small Room, Hallways, Underground, Outdoors, Long FX and Short FX.
There are three. Dual Layer spreads every articulation across the key range, tuned, so you hear what each sound does at pitch. It has two fully configurable layers, each with its own sound selection, LFO, filter, and controls for volume, attack, offset, release, bass, treble, pitch and pan.
Single Effects holds the one-shot sounds that don't fit a velocity or round-robin articulation. Each preset has the same per-layer controls as Dual Layer.
Ensemble presets lay all the articulations across the keys. You can remap any articulation to any key by hand. A Random button assigns percussive sounds to keys at random, so an existing MIDI beat plays back with a different kit each time.
Every preset type has an ARP arpeggiator with rhythm, direction, swing and randomization options. With Glide switched on, held notes and pads in your audio play back as a single-voice instrument where one note slides smoothly into the next, and you set how quickly the pitch moves between them. On percussive content it adds an adjustable pitch bend.
LFO shape and target parameter are user-selectable, with free or tempo-synced speed, depth and attack. Filters offer 12 types, with modulation from the sustain pedal or a step sequencer.
The custom interface supports CC and host automation in all major DAWs and in Komplete Kontrol hardware and software. FX rack routing and chains can be saved and loaded.
The library was built for Native Instruments' free Kontakt Player (version 5.6.8 or later) and also runs in the full retail Kontakt, as a VST, AU or AAX plugin. It works with Komplete Kontrol, Maschine and all S-Series keyboards.
It registers online through the Native Instruments Service Center app and shows up in the Kontakt Libraries browser. Windows XP or higher or Mac OS X 10.10 or higher is required. The maker recommends a dual-core CPU, 3+ GB of RAM and a SATA or SSD drive. It ships as a digital download.
